Their Wolverine Tower is hideous.  Though the Nickel Arcade is a gem.

I'm eager to see the pics. I've heard a lot about Ann Arbor, but never explored it.

Nice photos! It's nice to see some of Michigan's mid-sized cities on here.

^Thanks for the pics, it brings back memories.  The entrance to my dorm during my first year of law school was under the archway in your first picture.  Also, I did most of my studying in the Reading Room.  Ann Arbor is an incredible college town/small city, it's really a small town with a big world view.   

A first world city in a third world state..  :wink:

With all that talent, you could be doing something better than making sex shows...

 

Nice job.

We've become second-world since you left...

 

i think i've been in this house

Ah yes, Ann Arbor....the Manhattan of the Midwest....the small cosmopolitan city....and hopefully my future home.

 

Nice pictures.  I love Nickels Arcade.  It just has a very European Appeal.  Downtown Ann Arbor is very spread out.  The campus separates several business districts.  There's the South U area, home of the awful tower shown above...which by the way, you can by a 600 sqft unit for $200k.  This area is full of shops and restaurants that caters to the student population.

 

One the other side of Campus to the northwest of the South U area you will find Nickels Arcade, more shopping and more restaurants.  Still caters to students but townies like the area as well.  Main Street area is the old financial district and where you'll find more upscale shopping and dining.  KerryTown is the oldest area of downtown.

 

Sorry OSU folks, but Ann Arbor is a great city for is size.  The people are a little full of themselves primarily because of their "public Ivy league" mentality, but once you get past that, you can truly appreciate the city for what it has to offer.  And the campus is absoluately beautiful.

 

Once the weather warms up, I'll get some shots as well.

The campus isn't that beautiful, to be honest, though it has some wonderful buildings (like the law building complex).  And Ann Arbor is a wonderful city, but I still prefer OSU's surroundings (Dennison Place alone...*sigh*)

I love Ann Arbor!  I'm there all the time and definately take my camera with me.  I'll actually be there tomorrow doing some picture taking.  I'm meeting up with someone from Urban Planet and we will be taking pictures, when I get back I'll post them in the forum.  We are probably going to try to go up the clock tower to take them.
