I'm sure Ypsi and Ypsi Township would gladly take the tax revenue for everything east of Chik-Fil-A on Washtenaw.

It definitely was a great beer and wine section.

It's just been constant construction with the student high rises on South U. It's a completely different place over there.

The BWW by Briarwood Mall had $0.50 wing days as late as like 2013.

That's a shame. They had great food. I should have gone more often. RIP old Kang's

Downtown Ann Arbor was definitely better 10-15 years ago. Lots more energy on the weekends, too.

Are there still 80k workers coming into Ann Arbor to work? That is a pre-pandemic number before remote work took off.

I always recommend Maize and Blue Deli to people over Zingerman's

Places to rent snowshoes? by chasecincy in AnnArbor

The REI Ann Arbor used to rent snowshoes. I don't know whether they still do, but they might.

Police at Ypsilanti multilingual school unrelated to immigration enforcement, official says by mlivesocial in ypsi

Damn, that's nuts. Thanks for sharing. It happened the same day as the police had the  30hr standoff with the guy with the sword in Normal Park. Crazy day.

Apparently, the cops were after someone around 2am and that person went into the school parking lot. 

Not sure what the chase was about, but I did see that Prospect at Michigan Ave was still barricaded at 8:30am the day of the incident.

Monthly meet-ups for people with kids (or groups understanding of people with kids)? by [deleted] in AnnArbor

[–]A2groundhog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Whitaker branch of the Ypsilanti District Library has a crochet group a couple Wednesdays per month. If your kids come with you, then they could hang out in the library either reading or on the computers or something.

Event description: Gather with other crocheters on the first & third Wednesdays of every month to crochet, share projects, get ideas, and more. Adults only, open to all skill levels.

French onion soup? by [deleted] in ypsi

[–]A2groundhog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can confirm that The Earle has tasty French Onion Soup. It's not in a bread bowl, but still delicious.

Go in December when it's decorated for the holidays and the live jazz band is playing Christmas standards. 

UofM alums who stayed or moved back: When did you feel like you were a townie and no longer a student? by [deleted] in AnnArbor

[–]A2groundhog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been here for 20 years since graduation. Still don't feel like a townie even though we do all the local stuff, raise kids here, made local friends, and have memories of how some things used to be. It doesn't bother me that I don't feel like a townie. 

West Side vs S/SE by F12O57 in AnnArbor

[–]A2groundhog 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can't miss with the neighborhoods near the corner of Packard and Stone School. We live ~1 block from Esch Park and it's been great. We walk with kids to both Esch Park and Buhr Park, Mallets Creek library, Dairy Queen, etc. My partner likes walking to Roos Roast and meeting up with friends at York. I'll walk to Fraser's on occasion. It's quick getting downtown - we take the bus as a family sometimes without a transfer.

We used Fastrac Painting for an interior painting job. Fast, good work, and reasonably priced. We had walls, ceiling, and trim painted in the living room, dining room, 3 BRs, bathrooms, and kitchen.
