If you grew up in Shelby Twp, MI you remember...

When former Shelby Township resident started the page as a group on a Tuesday morning, she already had more than 2,000 users and 3,000 posts in just two days. The group exploded overnight and Pascoe had to convert the group to a page to make it more manageable. The page is a place where young and old, past and present Shelby Township residents can reminisce about the good ol' days.

Utica Community Schools

Even the school district is on Facebook! Parents can get instant updates on the UCS Facebook page from school closings to concert alerts.

Empire Lounge

Photos of food, drinks and people dancing the night away on Empire Lounge's Facebook page will either inspire you to get dressed and go out for a night on the town or make you wish you would have last night. Also, Shelby's newest nightclub keeps its "fans" afloat on Ladies Night and drink specials on the Facebook page.

Eisenhower Class of 2002 Reunion  

OK, I have to admit, I may "Like" that one more than others because that's my graduating class, but it doesn't mean that you can't find your class reunion Facebook page, or make your own, and catch up with old classmates.

Most Recent Post: Hello everyone! How's life? Thanks for joining the page. The reunion is in the early planning stages so I'm definitely open to suggestions as to where and when we want to do this. Let me know what you think. I'm planning on using this page as a central information point, so check back now and then as we get closer to the event. See you soon!
