If it snows much, all the surrounds of Ann Arbor get plowed, then Ann Arbor seems to wait for a thaw to get rid of the snow. This gives the earth-mother goddesses something to talk about: Wow! what a large snowfall, Ann Arbor still hasn't dug itself out yet...
If you drive to Ypsi(plowed) Dexter/Saline(plowed)
There is a way to both take a right at a light and then have the car crossed up so as to make each way impassable- only witnessed it in Ann Arbor.

Food stamps have been diminished from an average of $155 to $16 per person per month... unsurprisingly this is not an issue as it is not in the local right-wing newspapers.
Ann Arbor needs a newspaper and regular radio stations something fierce,but no one will say anything
