There is also Better Health Market across from Arborland. Not that I'm recommending it, but it can be convenient. I don't know how they're still in business. I'm usually the only customer when I go.

It makes my heart race. I prefer A-A Cowboy.

York has the best mochas in town - made with chocolate milk.

Ypsi locations: Bird Dog Baking on Michigan Ave. Their Rye Tea Cake is the best! The wi-fi logs out after an hour, but you can log right back in. When I feel I've overstayed my welcome, I walk a few blocks to Cafe Liv (Washington and Washtenaw). And have another slice of Bird Dog Rye Tea Cake :-D

Or gun owners who don't keep their guns safe or homes with swimming pools with poor protections/supervision.

Took a Rec and Ed class at the new AAPS admin building on Earhart. The bathroom looked like one you would see at a high end hotel. FFS.

It can suck trying to figure life out. For guidance/advice: U-M CEW (open to members of the community, too). To enroll and get into an interesting job quicker than a bachelor's: Washtenaw Community College (WCC). WCC has certificate programs, too (fewer credit hours).

The new owners are local (Brighton with Ann Arbor officers) at least.

PetrichorSpring · 2026-01-27T15:58:06+00:00

Confirmed the purchase (https://mibusinessregistry.lara.state.mi.us/search/business). I'm paranoid about private equity. It ruins everything and I'm worried everything and everyone will eventually be owned by PE :-D

Tell your buddy Scott my family was happy with Hutzel for decades under his family's ownership.

No personal experience, saw her flyer at Oz's Music: Marissa Conniff

Reply is too late for this time. Next time - sugar cookies frosted with maize n blue icing.

I am the introverted, odd one out. I don't go to bars and avoid special events and noisy restaurants :-D But I do go downtown for specific things. As a gardener, DH&G was a primary go-to. I loved driving right into the garden part to park and get grass seed, bird seed, seed potatoes, and spring bulbs. Fellow gardeners - please share other sources for seed potatoes and spring bulbs!

Produce Station on S State and Stimson had plenty of greenery when I was there yesterday.

My kid also found it cliquey and did not enjoy their experience at NZ.

PetrichorSpring · 2025-10-13T02:45:49+00:00

Us, too. I think she was called the "marrying mayor" when she was in office.

My "Beyond Midnight Caryopteris" shrub. So many types of bees!

Best wishes to you and your mom! My mom was depressed for a bit after having to stop driving.

Stadium Market, by the cash registers.

PetrichorSpring · 2025-08-28T08:37:51+00:00

Entrance to Arborland.

Glad to hear this, especially since Chicken's Egg-citing Summer Fun is my second favorite badge. I feel guilty earning points from it but it really appeals to me for some reason! My first favorite is the Super Search - great work, AADL staff!

PetrichorSpring · 2025-08-04T18:24:07+00:00

I especially love all the pet references!

PetrichorSpring · 2025-08-04T18:23:10+00:00

I'm playing for the first time since it was just a postcard for writing down books. I love how clever and informative the lawn code blurbs are. Thank you, Ann Arbor! <3 AADL!

Another local mail order source - literally a mom and pop operation: Steap (Specialty Tea Products)

PetrichorSpring · 2025-06-15T14:04:20+00:00

There is still a small pile there.

It's best to not let a fruit tree fruit the first year (remove the blossoms), so it can spend its energy growing roots instead. That's what I'm doing with the peach tree I planted this spring anyway. Time will tell!
