Does it seem like there are a lot of groundhogs these days?

Another beautiful morning in Ypsilanti.

This is a debate like "we should maybe decline to keep stepping on banana peels v. nah banana peels are totally fun to step on and we should keep doing it" is a debate. #a2council www.mlive.com/news/ann-arb...

Wait: there are two carnivals in Ann Arbor this weekend?

In Canada for a wedding and they are doing some incredible things with speed limits here. Wish we could do this in our residential neighborhoods.

This is horrifying. The way to fix this is to make it easier to build more housing AND to build subsidized housing. In light of this, it hard to see the “Pause the Plan” anti-housing activists as anything but morally bankrupt. People are suffering for their aesthetic preferences. #a2Council

This has to be parody right? Right?!? #a2Council www.preserveannarbor.com The only non-AI generated picture is of the uninhabitable shack on Liberty that is for sale for $400,000.

#A2Council for those who prefer to read rather than listen, we've posted a transcript of the latest episode of the A2AF podcast with AADL Library Director Eli Neiburger discussing Props A & B and what they mean for our new Downtown Library: annarboraf.com/episode-79-n...

Game on, Ann Arbor. aadl.org/play

The giant Catalpa is getting ready to pop off. Measured it last summer and it’s almost 19’ in circumference.

#A2Council We're going to show Ann Arbor that most residents stand up for smarter laws and better housing options. The status quo may be working for some, but we want an Ann Arbor For All. Let's stop banning the good housing we need. We need a new plan. ⤵️

Alon Levy is once again bringing simple factual analysis to environmental policymaking, taking a close look at the "embodied carbon" argument against new urban infill construction. #A2Council pedestrianobservations.com/2025/06/08/m...

The same people who lament the loss of places like Braun Court continue to work tirelessly to ensure nothing like it can ever be built again. #A2Council

Listening to this now. It’s great.

In honor of summer, here's my father-in-law's definition of where Up North starts in Michigan. Honestly, he probably considers the northern half or Oakland and Macomb counties to be Up North.

Goodyear blimp over Ypsilanti. My goes is if parked at Willow Run after filming the NASCAR race at Michigan International Speedway last night.

The air looks a bit clearer this morning in Ypsilanti.

Sirens. 🚨

The NPNA yard sale starts in 10 minutes. Here are some of the things I saw on my run this morning. #ypsilanti

Forgot to add #a2Council

Ann Arbor’s anti-housing activists will refuse to believe this. They will also say that people who don’t live in the city prefer it that way.

The Normal Park Neighborhood Association Yard Sale, our nation's premier yard sale, is tomorrow. Stop by. You won't want to miss it. www.damnarbor.com/2025/06/npna...

What if we made mega-Ypsilanti? Population would be just shy of 59k making it the 27th largest municipality in the state. There's probably a case to extend the eastern boundary to Golfside (or Carpenter) between Ellsworth and Clark. Maybe extend the southern border to Textile.

Rainy morning in Ypsilanti.

Great morning for unclogging storm drains.
