Yeah, honestly a lot of my love for Ann Arbor stems from it having like my platonic ideal of a college town vibe, which my (different) Big Ten school decidedly didn't have.

seven months pass...

We had a great time in Detroit, btw. The city has come a long way since I was last there, and while it is still pretty surreal to see boarded up blight and hipster bakeries on a not even block-by-block but lot-by-lot basis, the city seems to be on the serious upswing, and people there have real pride for it. Plenty to do and see and eat and drink, and so on. We stayed in a perfect place upstairs from Slows BBQ and across from Mercury Burger.

Ann Arbor was nice, too, though nothing particularly special. Good vibe, great school.
