I left that group when Ranzini said I would have more friends if I were nicer to people (he ment men, of course) online.

No, I missed that! And I’m sure it flew over my house. Seems… odd, to be honest. But hey, you can’t say there hasn’t been a lot of engagement!

Watching bicyclists go by on Main Street after a big snow, knowing that there will be a chorus of people absolutely certain that they don’t exist. #A2Council

I hate this as much as I hate leaf blowers, which is A LOT! Also people who clear their driveways and not the sidewalks.

Most of the buildable land in #AnnArbor -especially the high demand neighborhoods-has been downzoned for many decades. Now we live with the predictable consequences. #A2Council

Young families typically leave cities for the suburbs. Here’s how to keep them downtown. Urbanist Brent Toderian explains how Vancouver held onto its families.

Although most US cities have failed at attracting families with kids in downtowns and other urban places (largely through the creation of a self-fulfilling prophesy of failure), other places, including Vancouver, have succeeded.

A box of tasty-looking pizza with half untouched and a few other pieces flopped in the box.

If you lost your pizza, it is on S. Main Street by the railroad tracks. #AnnArbor

The Michigan Kit-House Industry: Not Just a Flash in the Pan

Hey #A2Council and architecture fans, here is an interesting event tomorrow at the U-M Library: www.lib.umich.edu/visit-and-st...

Lol. It seemed remarkably fresh. Well, feom the look of it. I did not actually try it. 😂

A full, unopened bottle of Modelo beer lying in the grass under a tree.

If you lost your bottle of beer, it is by this tree at Packard and Fourth. #AnnArbor

Maybe she has finished repainting!

Ah, I read the MLive article. Welp.

Wait, what? I was just about to tune in!

A Swedish fish candy lying on the sidewalk in a park. In the distance is a beautiful autumnal scene.

If you lost your Swedish fish, it is at Wurster Park. #AnnArbor

A large cross necklace (probably for a costume) lying on a pile of leaves next to the sidewalk.

If you lost your cross, it is on the corner of S. Main and E. Davis. #AnnArbor

This picture! He really looks like a menace, doesn’t he! 😂

Excuse me, what? This is almost as bad as the guy who said we shouldn’t build multi-family housing near elementary schools.

Ngl, the only time I was annoyed by the food was when it was an order from Taco Bell. Tios is close, local, and has a history of being the food that fueled council for years.

This is so dumb. Kathy Griswold has often brought cookies to meetings and shares them with commissioners. Other members of the public have brought cookies and he never complained. And, tbh, I never thought the food was for us. I thought it was for people attending, and I eat before the meetings.

This is all so wild!

Gentle readers, it's #a2Council night. Here's your preview: www.damnarbor.com/2025/10/ann-...

In a rare turn of events, tonight's spiciest chili is on the consent agenda. Hopefully nobody pulls the Comprehensive Land Use Plan update from the consent agenda and it passes with out much ado.

5 bikes including 3 cargo bikes are parked outside Wildflyer Coffee

Does your local coffee shop look like this?

If not, it’s probably because:
1) zoning created large distances between housing & shops.
2) the streets between housing & shops are unsafe for biking.
3) there isn’t any/enough secure bike parking

Yeah, it was a beautiful night, but Main Street was so much less vibrant than it was during the summer with the streets closed. 😢

A fancy glass sitting on a concrete curb/planter outside of the IM building.

If you lost your cut-glass rocks glass, it is in front of the Intramural Sports Building. #AnnArbor

A brown leather belt embossed with eagle heads and with a wolf on the metal buckle. It is hanging from a street tree.

If you lost your very fancy eagle-embossed belt with a wolf buckle, it is on Fourth Ave. #AnnArbor

Thanks for the yummy cookies!
