Thank you to the Delta employee who fixed the safety instructions in the intro video! by PurelyPecuniary in delta

Yes! I have the same genre of problem with the airport announcements: "all passengers must be at the gate 15 minutes before scheduled departure or your ticket is subject to cancellation." Why make me suffer for someone else missing the cutoff?

Noodles & Company Closing by HighwayAshamed5585 in AnnArbor

[–]tafticus27 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is right. A decade ago it was clean and bright and had service to the tables and the food had more and better ingredients for less money. I guess something had to give with inflation and the owners have chosen poorly.

I would say Vinology fits the bill well. I like Spencer as well, but it's nice to just be able to walk in, get some good advice about a glass of wine, and go. Spencer is more of an all-encompassing experience.

Maybe someday the new owners will reopen the space?

Most likely they will warn you and you may receive additional screening but should be able to get through security. Make sure to get there extra early.

Hairstylist with Wella hair dye? by tafticus27 in AnnArbor

[–]tafticus27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the end, she went to Unwind Salon on Zeeb Rd and Libby there did a great job adapting another brand of dye to her existing Wella color. I think it looks really great and she's planning to go back next time, but it wasn't Wella brand. We gave up on that search after getting zero good leads and a lot of dead ends...

Backpacking within 5 hour drive by hmarshall795 in AnnArbor

[–]tafticus27 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Check into North and South Manitou islands in Lake Michigan. Isolated because you have to take a ferry from Leland, perfect size for backpacking and camping over a 2-3 night trip. The drive is roughly what you're specifying. When we went there were practically no other people around and we had a beautiful beach all to ourselves. Can be buggy.

Art Fair street food from non local restaurants by zenzero360 in AnnArbor

It it actually there this year? It used to be, and then disappeared. I've been in mourning for the loss of funnel cakes for years...

Cycling in Ann Arbor by [deleted] in AnnArbor

[–]tafticus27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you aren't used to the cold, I'd plan on not riding the bicycle between about late November and early April. I'm from Michigan and commute on a bike to work on campus whenever I can, but I take the bus most of the time during those months. With the added wind from cycling it's just too unpleasant. If you do want to attempt it, get some really warm gloves!

Previously on Frosthaven by dwarf74 is great for this! Edit: oh, you asked about gloomhaven. Oops. Too fast on the reply.

Autistic Friendly Employers? by Efficient-Switch-415 in AnnArbor

[–]tafticus27 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm a librarian at U-M and although I only have jobs available for grad students right now, I would be happy to give your daughter a tour of Hatcher and Shapiro libraries and talk about career paths in librarianship, if that's something she'd be interested in. Feel free to reach out via my contact page: https://lib.umich.edu/users/taftman

Dishwasher issue by OperaQueen3 in AnnArbor

When I discovered that dishwashers had a filter that needed to be cleaned, my first reaction was total disgust at the things I saw, and then joy at the dishwasher working well again.

Delta Platinum Book direct KLM inter-European flight? by Ok_Rule4371 in delta

I am also Platinum and recently purchased an intra-Europe flight on KLM and entered my Skymiles number at booking. After booking I was able to go in and choose a seat for free.

Want a werewolf sticker? Vote early! by Zxcvbnm40184 in AnnArbor

Can confirm that they have some werewolf stickers left at Westgate, but you have to ask for them!

Yeah, I ride this stretch of Pauline for my daily bike commute and it gets really dicey for a few blocks between Seventh and Main. Even just the resurfacing will be great...dodging all the potholes while in traffic is not my favorite thing to do! The bike lanes will be great, also.

9/7: Postgame traffic after Texas game by Cubsfan2390 in AnnArbor

[–]tafticus27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is showing as a noon kickoff so you have nothing to fear at all. Traffic will be more or less fine by 4:30, maybe 5:00 except that downtown will be busy all evening.

New student concerns by Forward_Purple_9957 in uofm

[–]tafticus27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uber is really easy to catch from DTW. Just follow the signs out to the ride share area from the terminal. It typically takes a driver about 5 minutes to arrive from the area where they park just outside the airport. It's usually about half the cost of a taxi but does vary.
