This is something else I missed while being gone during June: From Annarbor.com, “Hearing delayed for man accused of sexually assaulting Eastern Michigan University student.” I don’t have a link to the original story, but it sounds pretty awful.

I’ve been attending the Ypsilanti Fourth of July parade pretty much every year I’ve been in town since I moved here a dozen years ago, and I always find it to be good-time. Sadly, I never followed through on my idea/suggestion for an area blogger float which I suggested last year. Maybe 2011? Anyway, [...] Stop the virtual presses! “AnnArbor.com launches new page of Ypsilanti and Ypsilanti Township news.” It feels great to be discovered by our quaint neighbors to the west, doesn’t it? In all seriousness though, I have to say that AnnArbor.com in its first year has struck me as a so-so enterprise at best. On the [...] I missed this April Fool’s story over on Ypsinews.com, “MSU to buy EMU in Hostile Takeover Bid.” It’s a surprisingly elaborate article for a joke article, IMO. Be sure to check it out. Incidentally, I have to wonder if Steve Pierce and whoever else is associated with Ypsinews.com didn’t purposefully make a more ridiculous [...] I came across this via Facebook this morning: The Ypsi Project is an effort by Erica Hampton to take photos (portraits and otherwise) of various Ypsilanti things. But she’s trying to raise $2400 to make it all happen. Check out the kickstarter page here (it tells you how you can participate and donate, along [...] Also on annarbor.com, “Naked man steals children’s books from Ypsilanti District Library, police say.” The opening sentences: Ypsilanti police say a library patron took off his clothes and exposed himself to an employee today before fleeing with children’s books in hand. The man hasn’t been located by police. Sure, harass a couple college kids [...] I came across this gem in Annarbor.com: “Builder of ‘obscene snowman’ isn’t upset police told him to destroy it.” Here’s the meat of the story (so to speak): Police responded to (Mike) Scoffins’ North Summit Street home about 3:31 p.m. Tuesday after someone called to report an “obscene snowman,” a police incident log said. Scoffins [...] The Echo has an article on this and I have to give a shout-out to not only my English Department colleagues but also to their efforts to raise money for English major-types: “EMU prof to donate rock show proceeds to students.” That should probably be “profs,” along with administrator-type and a few other not [...] This comes from EMUYou! folks/Bilal Saeed– he posted it on the book o’ face, but I’m sure he’d appreciate it being posted here too: The Second Annual Ford Lake Frozen Leap is Saturday, February 13, 11am to 3pm. Check out the story– spectators are welcome, and it’s a fund-raiser for the American Heart Association. Oh, and check out frozenleap.com, which has more info and pictures from last year. After the jump are some of the details Bilal sent out: This from the Ypsilanti Citizen: “College Place street repairs begin in summer.” I love the lead here: The unevenness in the road is enough to make even the most seasoned seafarer vomit. That’s why the City of Ypsilanti is planning repairs on College Place near the Eastern Michigan University campus in June. The street’s [...] |
