Gorgeous sunrise in Ypsilanti.

It's easy to see the appeal at first glance. But the impact here is to make construction less likely and more costly. The result, predictably is that less housing gets built. This is a skeet about #a2Council

YES AND: Build housing in the cities where people want to live, with good jobs and education, high quality of life, low crime, lower carbon emissions, a future climate refuge, a blue city in a swing state. #AnnArbor needs to do its part. #A2Council

Looking back on this thread given the latest weaponized nostalgia in Ann Arbor Frownies. #A2Council #AnnArbor

Ooh, love this article in the @michigandaily.bsky.social. I appreciate how much thought the author has given to this. #A2Council www.michigandaily.com/statement/yo...

Foggy morning in Ypsilanti. Attn: @pomegranateyum57.bsky.social

The chutney chicken pizza from Mama Pizza was so good I had to take a bite before taking a picture.

This is *TODAY*. Let’s all show up and speak up for safe streets in Ann Arbor! #A2Council #AnnArbor

Three Ypsi fire trucks and three YPD cruisers heading westbound on Washtenaw.

I love the new rain gardens the city has been installing in the parks in Ypsilanti.

Good morning Ypsilanti.

Ann Arbor mentioned.

OMG, how did I not know that you can adopt AND NAME a storm drain if you are in the Huron River watershed?!?! www.hrwc.org/volunteer/adoptastormdrain #A2Council

#A2Council Hey Ann Arbor, Early Voting starts today on campus, at UMMA or Duderstadt! Come on in! You can bring your absentee ballot in and tabulate it, or get a ballot and vote it just like on Election Day!

Every time autumn rolls around, I’m convinced @gshans.bsky.social’s wrote an article entitled Hayrides: threat or menace? Google tells me this article doesn’t exist.

Update: the furnace is still off at Damn Arbor Global HQ, but we have turned on the Christmas music.

Cool morning in Ypsilanti.

Dawn over Recreation Park.

A hint of dawn on the horizon looking east on Michigan Ave in Ypsilanti.

Looks like we are getting another perfect fall day.

"Bicyclists" #a2Council

Blue skies behind the Ypsi Water tower.

Important #SafeStreets advocacy opportunity in Ann Arbor! Please write to Council and if you are able, show up to speak and/or support safety for everyone! #A2Council #AnnArbor

#a2council here's how easy it is to voice your support...

SAVE THE DIVISION BIKEWAY EXTENSION. The planned extension cannot happen unless Carey Street is converted to one-way. Tell CityCouncil@a2gov.org that you are in favor of the bikeway and the conversion because these improvements support our climate, transportation, and safety goals. #a2council

Furnace check: who turned it on last night?

Frosty morning in Ypsilanti.

First frost in Ypsilanti.

#A2council is crossing Carey St as a pedestrian a good experience? No. But is it a good experience as a cyclist? Also no. With that out of the way, is it a good experience turning right off Carey as a driver? Also no.

Better shot here. Can anyone identify the plane?

Awesome flyover for the Ypsi Township U8 soccer game this morning.

Imagine getting Final Destinationed by the “Poop” and “Fart” telephone poles.

This project looks incredible. It's great to see new housing coming into downtown Ypsi.

A warm, blustery morning in Ypsilanti as the cold front blows in.

Busy night tonight. Thankfully I did meal prep earlier in the week.

I’ve seen some posters around town and social media discussions about Ann Arbor’s plans for the Division Bikeway Extension that make a couple points I think are particularly disturbing and worth calling out. #A2Council #AnnArbor #SafeStreets

This is beautiful.

A brief history of Ann Arbor Has Changed #a2council #AnnArbor

What are the best DS9 episodes to watch with kids? Should we just go in order? So far we’ve made it through Babel. The 4 year old really likes the “slime guy” and the 7 year old wants to now if Garak is good or bad.

Frog.

Another hot and humid morning in Ypsilanti.

#A2Council It’s worth hearing local environmental leaders (Matt Grocoff, Mike Shriberg, Conan Smith and Erica Briggs) discuss why they aren’t supporting Prop E youtu.be/NsglNY368Zk?...

#A2Council The latest episode of the Ann Arbor AF podcast is live. The discussion of Prop E, in particular, is worth a listen: annarboraf.com/episode-86-g...

Saw a couple of peregrine falcons flying around Pierce Hall on Eastern’s Campus last week.

Dominick’s has the best green pepper pizzas, if that’s something you’re into. Super fresh peppers, and they don’t skimp.
