Not that restaurateur Todd Seeburger has any problem with that. Seeburger, 40, of Roseville, who owns The Kitchen at Madison's at Walnut and Cass, recently opened a second restaurant -- Seeburger's Cheeseburger's -- just blocks away on the corner of Main and New streets. Seeburger keeps tabs on both restaurants during the day by riding a motorized scooter back and forth.

"Of course, the economy was a concern when I opened the new restaurant," he said. "But it's a good location and there's always lots of traffic. Downtown Mount Clemens is doing very well."
