This was new to me today (mainly because I have been working a lot at home lately): as this flyer taped to the window indicates, there’s a “Entrance Pilot” program at Pray-Harrold right now to enforce a no smoking zone entrance. My pictures are not that great here for giving perspective, but the zone includes [...] But I didn’t love it this year– and by “it,” I mean the annual July 4 parade. I thought it was a little on the short-side, it featured too many cars with no decoration or indication at all why they were in the parade (perhaps they just got stuck in traffic), and it had [...] I hope you got my note. I was the guy pulling into a spot in the EMU Student Center parking lot this afternoon, fair and square, when you cut me off by going the wrong way and took it. My jaw appropriately dropped onto the steering wheel, I pulled up next to you, rolled down [...] Ed. Note: History professor Walter Moss sent this to me the other day to post to EMUTalk.org. Of course, I always welcome contributions of various sorts, and it is even better when the contributions are things I agree with whole-heartedly. Thanks, Walter! Recently students in my History 103, Twentieth Century Civilization, class handed [...] I saw the paper version of the Eastern Echo this morning, and as part of slightly updated story on the approved monies (“Pray-ers get answered by state”), they have this handy graphic to help would-be renovation pool entrants figure out which date to select: This picture is way too small– it looks better in the paper– [...] From Sunday’s AANews, “Billboard could bring money to city Council votes to lease space for 60-foot-tall digital sign at Huron exit.” From the story: The Ypsilanti City Council voted July 15 to lease space to Adams Outdoor Advertising for a 60-foot-tall digital billboard at the Huron Street exit ramp off westbound I-94. Adams wants to [...] There was a nice “other voices” piece in yesterday’s AAN written by EMU professor (and administrator? I know she was at one point) Denise M. Tanguay called “U-M commencement at EMU offers seniors unique experience.” It’s exceedingly polite; for example: While I can understand the disappointment of students who cannot hold their graduation ceremony [...] In today’s funny pages of the AA NEWS, the cartoon “Speed Bump” by Dave Coverly (an EMU grad, I believe) contains a character wearing a green EMU sweatshirt. Don’t know if you can find this online or not, but it’s a funny comic, in my opinion. I had a unique and fun opportunity prior to the Thunder Over Michigan air show put on by Yankee Air Museum. One of my friends, Dave Norris, flew up in a Piper Dakota from Bloomington, IL. Dave, myself, and one of his friends did some flying from Ann Arbor to Flint where we picked up [...] I came back to Ypsilanti just in time to read this story in the AA News, “Greetings from … a photo concept,” which is about a local photographer who has capitalized on the rather suggestive elements of Ypsilanti’s own historic water tower. I actually have a postcard from the artist featured in the story, a Miss [...] |
