I kind of want a t-shirt that says “Susan thinks the whole CLUP thing is fishy.” 😂

Very interesting, #A2Council.

This is why I’ve been trying to reform design review for a decade and generally oppose more new city regs. This isn’t benign bureaucracy—it ossifies into a tool for capricious delay and to extract reductions in dev capacity.

There are only 41,000 coal miners in the United States. By way of comparison, there are 100,000 **registered** yoga teachers, 361,000 Starbucks baristas and 265,000 faculty and staff members working for the University of California system alone.

I can report that there are more Ubers/Lyfts on Main and the side streets than I have ever seen before. Which, good for not drunk driving, but the bike lanes are f’ed and there are like double the normal number of cars, so hmm.

I would love to see a visualization of the sound waves.

I’m two blocks away and can’t hear anything. Maybe a vague thumping noise? Like, we were astonished how quiet it is. I think we are below the bowl and the sound must be going over us.

Ye Olde Ann Arbor hasn’t seen this many cowboy boots since, well, maybe ever. #ZachBryanConcert

If you lost your Detroit Lions Defend the Den rally towels, they are by (new) Elbel Field. #AnnArbor

Sidewalk issue Please remove need for beg button to cross medical center dr There are always numerous people waiting to cross here in the mornings and evenings No need to require a button push, which is impossible...

Three years and no response from the city for this report on a dangerous intersection. I bike this way regularly and cars never yield to pedestrians even when the walk signal is activated. This area has very high pedestrian traffic.

Prince performs at Crisler Center in 1983.

Three headshots of Aretha Franklin performing in 1969.

Fleetwood Mac at an Ann Arbor press conference in 1979.

Bruce Springsteen performs in 1980.

Zach Bryan and John Mayer are headlining @umich.edu's first concert at Michigan Stadium on September 27. While the show is expected to have over 112,000 fans in attendance, it got us wondering about some of the other concerts at U-M’s second-biggest venue: Crisler Center.

Trump delivers dumbest climate speech of all time The president's easily-debunked 10-minute climate tirade at the U.N. was so stupid and unoriginal, it was actually kind of funny.

Someone had to say it

Crowd sourcing this: What's the best way to bike between Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti after dark? I usually bike along Packard to/from work, but how is it at night? My bike has lights.

Blergh. I mean, heaven forbid you invite an expert.

This FAQ might be of some help. Also the Comp Plan website. And city planning staff can often come to those meetings/discussions! hdp-us-prod-app-aagov-engage-files.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/7617/5251/92...

Dang it! I still want local tomatoes, so this is problematic!

All I ask is for a tiny little frost downtown.

They also don’t want to shovel sidewalks, which I understand on one hand, but I l personally like that I have a little part in the shared experience of keeping Ann Arbor accessible. Most people apparently don’t enjoy that.

Ann Arbor’s 25th Annual Green Fair is Friday Sept. 19 | City of Ann Arbor

See you at the Green Fair, #a2council! www.a2gov.org/news/posts/a...

It makes me disproportionately happy. And there is even a matching keychain card! ❤️

You can replace yours. I went in after the fact to get a cute one. :)

An adorable scene of cute cartoon woodland animals around a table, crafting a tree. There are bookshelves full of books behind them.

And when you get your library card, you can get a “standard” card, or you can choose from several special cards (for free)! This is the one I choose.

How building more can benefit both humans and nature - The Boston Globe Environmentalists are worried that reforming regulations might encourage irresponsible development. But the opposite could be true.

"Conservationists should measure their success by looking at outcomes, not by how many development or management projects they managed to stop in a given year... We need an approach to nature that not only protects but builds."
