FARMINGTON HILLS, MI – This is one of those places which gives you all the feels.

One of Michigan’s most nostalgic spots is locking its doors this Sunday night after being located in the same spot for decades. It will soon be located elsewhere.

Marvin’s Marvelous Mechanical Museum has been a destination and attraction at a strip mall on Orchard Lake at 14 Mile in Farmington Hills since 1990.

The part arcade, part museum will be demolished to make way for other developments.

Marvin’s owner, Jeremy Yagoda, said he vowed this would not be the end of what his father Marvin, who passed way in 2017, started.

After Marvin’s closes this Sunday evening, relocation will soon begin to the Orchard Mall on the NE corner of Maple and Orchard Lake Road in West Bloomfield.

Yagoda says it is expected to take a few months to make the move to the new building which will expand the museum from 5,300 sq. ft. to around 14,000 sq. ft.

“We will take a couple days to relax before we start the move,” Yagoda wrote on Facebook. “I do not have a date for the reopening yet as the build out will take some time. Sad to leave Farmington Hills as the whole city has been MARVELOUS, but this was the best location we found. Time to start the next chapter for MMMM.”

Marvin’s will be open on Saturday from 10:00 a.m. – 11:00 p.m. and on Sunday from 11:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m.

Alabama transfer running back Justice Haynes has signed with Michigan, the school announced Friday.

Haynes, the No. 3 running back in ESPN’s transfer rankings, finished as Alabama’s third-leading rusher with 448 yards on 5.7 yards per carry and 7 touchdowns as a sophomore. He’ll have two more seasons of eligibility with the Wolverines.

The 5-foot-11, 210-pound back from Buford, Georgia, started six games in his second year with the Crimson Tide after rushing for 168 yards and two scores as a freshman. Haynes was the No. 24 overall player in the ESPN 300 for 2023.

He’ll join a Michigan backfield that must replace the production of seniors Kalel Mullings and Donovan Edwards, who combined for 1,537 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns in 2024.

Michigan does return freshman back Jordan Marshall, who rushed for 100 yards on 23 carries in the Wolverines’ 19-13 victory over Alabama in the Reliaquest Bowl on Dec. 31. Haynes did not play for either team in the bowl game.

Michigan has added eight transfer signees following its 8-5 season under first-year coach Sherrone Moore. The Wolverines are also bringing in quarterback Mikey Keene (Fresno State), wide receiver Donaven McCulley (Indiana) and offensive lineman Brady Norton (Cal Poly) to help bolster an offense that averaged 22 points per game this season, which ranks 113th in FBS.
