From the Ann Arbor Chronicle: “AATA to Focus on Ypsi Cost Cuts.” Looming on a six-week horizon for Ypsilanti is the renewal of its Purchase of Service Agreement with the AATA – at a price slated for 10% higher each year over the next three years to make the agreement match actual costs. That’s the [...] Just thought I’d ask. I was driving by Concordia University this morning, and I noticed there was quite the set-up for some sort of movie-making going on about town: many many trucks, looked like some lighting crews wandering about, a guy directing traffic in and out of the school, and five or six [...] We won’t have the AAN to kick around here anymore: The Ann Arbor News is publishing its last issue today. Follow that link and you’ll get a boatload of articles about all that was at the News. I guess I’ll mention four things for now: I might be the kind of AAN reader who is an [...] EMU alum Nathan Bomey and Dan Meisler (I’m not sure if Dan was one of ours or not) have an article on MLive Ann Arbor Business, New weekly enters changing Ann Arbor news market. I think the title is somewhat misleading because it’s really about weeklies– as in more than one– coming to Ann Arbor [...] This might be more Ann Arbor/U of M than Ypsi/EMU, and it might be more interesting to me as a book fan/reader/English major type, but I thought I’d post it here anyway: according to Mark Maynard, Shaman Drum is closing up at the end of this month.

Imagine getting from Ann Arbor [...] No kidding. Here are the opening paragraphs: The Ann Arbor News will close in July after publishing as the city’s daily newspaper since 1835, publisher Laurel Champion announced today. Heavy losses in revenue drove the decision. Champion said the current “business model is not sustainable.” “This isn’t about abandoning local journalism, it’s about serving it up in [...] While linking to the article about the rape at the Kappa Omega Alpha house, I came across a couple of other articles that connect to some previous posts/news-bits here at EMUTalk.org. First, there is the front page story in today’s AANews, “Officials say proposed acquisition of country club by Washtenaw Community College tempting, but [...] This news from the AANews this morning: “Shaman Drum Bookshop– in danger of closing– seeks investors.” Here are the opening paragraphs: Karl Pohrt and his Ann Arbor literary institution, Shaman Drum Bookshop, need help. Pohrt is looking for investors to give the South State Street shop the cash it needs to survive while it waits for [...] Not that I was ever that “gone,” since my internet access was better than I thought it might be.
