Michigan, Ypsilanti

Only 5 more days until we close on the house in Hamtramck. Before we drive out there to celebrate the New Year, I thought it might be fun to post something about all the quirky things I'll miss about Ypsilanti.


"Space Chatter" and Saturday morning Falun Dafa on CTN. I was wrong about Mickey Bogart. He represents everything left in Ann Arbor that is good.


Conspiracy flyers.


The perpetual yard sale on Forest. For the past 3 years, there has been a garage sale at the entrance to our apartment complex every weekend, Friday-Sunday. He even shovels the lawn on snowy days.


The best strip mall ever is on the northeast corner of Ford Blvd and Holmes. Grocery with a great butcher, laundromat, party store, hardware, video rental, clothing store and beauty supply all in one place.


Ypsilanti People's Food Co-op - even if they've stopped ordering all the things I really like.


The convenience of buying produce at the Ypsilanti Farmer's Market.

I almost forgot about our neighbors with the commercial fireworks.

Welcome to Metro-Detroit, you'll find that driving (what normal people would call great distances) isn't a problem, so heck, make daily trips back to Ypsilanti. I used to drive up to north of Flint about three times a week, and not because of work either.

"Not so very long ago (a century or thereabouts), Gammas, Deltas, even Epsilons, had been conditioned to like flowers–flowers in particular and wild nature in general. The idea was to make them want to be going out into the country at every available opportunity, and so compel them to consume transport."
