1. Popular Royal Oak Restaurant Permanently Closes (patch.com) — Royal Oak diners are losing a beloved spot as Edo Ramen on 13 Mile permanently closes after nearly a decade, citing landlord issues, costly repairs, and a tough economy.

Hawaiian students made up 0.2% of Royal Oak High School enrollment in 2024-25 (seoaklandnews.com) — Royal Oak families can see how diverse Royal Oak High School is becoming, with three Hawaiian students now making up 0.2% of its 1,293-student body in 2024-25. The piece breaks down enrollment trends over the last decade and places them in the context of statewide post-pandemic academic performance and persistent achievement gaps.
