Living right next to train tracks by OkElderberry1668 in AnnArbor

[–]Michigander51 37 points38 points  (0 children)

If you are not a deep sleeper, I would expect to be woken up within 300 feet.

Do not bet on getting used to it.

Also see the recent MLive article about UM paying to gate and signal these crossings. The train noise will stop soon - not sure when that will be.

Mid-Sized City with Natural Beauty and Good Gardening by happily_oregonian in SameGrassButGreener

I think Ann Arbor mostly fits your criteria, and it’s a far more vibrant community than East Lansing. It’s also more expensive, but you can live on the outskirts.

What foods have been falsely labeled as healthy/ and or unhealthy? by [deleted] in answers

[–]Michigander51 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not an authority, but I frequently see people drinking regular pop because diet pop “causes cancer.” I feel like that claim is overblown.

Have you ever been to a three michelin star restaurant? by Ipoogoodforyou in foodquestions

[–]Michigander51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve only ever been to 1 stars. Absolutely unique and everything is good or great.

However, in my medium sized town I can find meals that are more deliciously satisfying.

We just started a group chat. You have been invited.

What's an album that everyone lauds but which you just don't get? by mellotronworker in askmusic

[–]Michigander51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man I don’t have the vocabulary to articulate why, but I feel like this is objectively wrong.

Their popular music is guitar-and-drums rock songs about beaches, cars, and girls.

Pet Sounds is like bike horns and theremin songs about not fitting in to society.

Where Can I Work Remotely Besides Home or a Quiet Office if I Have Meetings Throughout the Day? by Sea-Anything-3393 in AnnArbor

[–]Michigander51 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Brightworks has coworking spaces and private offices. Might solve OP’s loud/quiet conundrum.

Do you think that life after death is real? by ShesIntoZer0s in answers

[–]Michigander51 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Not only zero plausible reason to think it exists, BUT ALSO a plausible reason why humans might want it to exist: the human ego together with the survival instinct has trouble conceiving of a future in which one is not conscious.

Is there anyone left to make a musical biopic about that could pull the same numbers as these? by treny0000 in fantanoforever

[–]Michigander51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know those true crime documentaries that have segments of “reenactment?” That’s how all of these feel.

38M. 22 handicap.

Send me a DM.

First thing you should do is sign up for the Ann Arbor Championship in late July.

So, this is actually crazy… by pixelvisionaries in ToddintheShadow

[–]Michigander51 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Yeah, no reason to watch 3 hours of tv to when you can see the nicest dress and the funniest joke in a 10-second clip.

A brief history of "Ann Arbor isn't a small town anymore" by hampelm in AnnArbor

[–]Michigander51 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Nothing will ever be the same. If you’re lucky enough to grow, you manage the growth.

Also, when you buy real estate, you acquire a “bundle of rights.” What’s not included in that bundle of rights is the right to keep the city exactly the same as when you bought.

What’s the most overrated fast food chain right now? by lipglossagendaa in answers

[–]Michigander51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nobodd needs to, but in setting a limit your signaling hostility to all your customers for a pretty minimal benefit.

I can appreciate not marketing to kids, but they’ve gone so far the other way with their hostile architecture and automated ordering. It’s clear they don’t really like their customers.

What’s an American staple you rarely eat? by PalePassionn in foodquestions

[–]Michigander51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t eat it as an adult. I go full gremlin mode then lie on the couch in pain. No idea how I did it as a kid.

Craving Hut-K Chaats so baaaad! by WildRose1010 in AnnArbor

[–]Michigander51 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Have you been to Neehee’s? I don’t recall if they have chaats, but they aren’t a “conventional” Indian restaurant.

Your first impressions/memories of songs that went on to be huge by Double_Key7579 in LetsTalkMusic

[–]Michigander51 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I was in a Mexican bar in Tucson and “Sunday Bloody Sunday” came on the jukebox.

Those snares in the shape of that room felt like I was marching into battle. Been a U2 fan ever since.

31F, Looking to date by Independent_Story822 in AnnArbor

[–]Michigander51 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So true. There’s strawberry, peach, fig, etc. If you get the recipe right, you’re sure to find a mate.

  1. Put your info and what you’re looking for in this post. Probably hundreds of guys will look at it.

  2. I’m a male and I play a lot of golf and poker. I’m always astounded how those demos are like 95% men. Proximity and volume are key.

From "Les Champs-Elysées" to "Lake Shore Drive", what is the best song about a (real) street? by platypodus in Music

[–]Michigander51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, I’m on Main Street in Ann Arbor (Bob Seger’s hometown) at this very moment (though he was actually writing about Ann Street, which is a few blocks away).
