dibs on the alcoholics

nerd!

^seriously, you'd think they have something up from the ingenuity festival, or any random event

just an unscientific observation: OSU fans are more willing to descend upon their home city (i.e. me driving from cleveland to columbus) as opposed to the decreased likelihood of a detroiter driving to Ann Arbor to partake. There truly is something magical about the air on columbus in game day. (maybe its the booze, no wait, it is the booze). Ann Arbor just doesn't seem to have that magic.

i enjoy seeing the concept. And its certainly better than the status quo. go rta, go!

^i really do hate the way some of the windows on e 4th are sealed up. Does anyone know if its typically intentional? (or just really old paint)

and i was looking forward to being Dubai-Lite

Well, it DID start in Detroit...(which is now a parking garage near the RenCen) Yeah, and the capital was formerly in detroit, but that doesn't make Jennifer Granholm the mayor of detroit.

while chicago doesn't necessarily have a strictly define theater district, they certainly aren't lacking in terms of theater seats and some ol' dames. IMO: Playhouse Square=Nice, but nothing special (for the love of god, no one start the theater seat debate, or I will kill you)

True. Ohio State doesn't riot after their basketball team plays (win or lose). and what does michigan state have to do with UofM?

wow, much better than the old one. I was just attempting a cursory look at rental prices in the neighborhood and the old website made that impossible. this one, much better. yay

but you're okay with joe schmo?

that's right, lets blame warren!

wow, its starting earlier than expected

I totally understand it, I was just making a point of how truly f-ed up our system really is.

American's should be more concerned of getting more from their tax dollars, than raising their own taxes to pay for transit See also: Road to Transit Funding Ratio, Airport to transit funding ratio, Gasoline tax returns share.

why does everyone have to diss on stryker?

per a UofM distributed email: We know that it can be uncomfortable being in an opposing team's environment, especially when the stakes are so high. We would like to offer a few suggestions in order to help you stay safe and have a positive experience this weekend: --Try carpooling to the game; if possible, drive a car with non- Michigan license plates. --Keep your Michigan gear to a minimum, or wait until you are inside the stadium to display it. --Stay with a group. --Stay low-key; don't draw unnecessary attention to yourself. --If verbally harrassed by opposing fans, don't take the bait. --Avoid High Street in Columbus.

an article in the Detroit News about the Dead Schembechlers: http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061113/SPORTS08/611130376

those bastards were right. Although Limited. While it was fun to have a pedestrian playground/construction site for lower euclid, its nice to have some more activity back.

^I like watching "Good night and Good Luck" and laughing.

^the only thing that came to mind was a "work place ban", (i.e. inside the factory) with the usual exclusions of bars, bowling alley's etc. This reporter makes it sound like Detroit is smoke free.

if it weren't for city blue, where else would the bums fence everything they just stole from tower city?

smoking bans in detroit? that's news to me. (or really bad reporting)

we'll just put in a wilson's leather
