A few things that you should know about Ann Arbor before you come and visit....
Ann Arbor ain't that big - there are about 115,000 people; a populatin that falls to 78,000 when the students go home.
It's one of the few left wing bastions in Michigan - famous as the place thta Kennedy announced The Peace Corps, Johnson asked or a 'great society' and anti-Vietnam demonstrations first blew up.
It's not always cold - though around 130 days a year sees tempertaures below freezing
It's home to Zingermann's - a rather good deli that feels more Californian than anything.
It's twinned with Tubingen, Belize City, Hikone, Peterborough (Canada), Juigalpa, Dakar and Remedios
The words "Go Blues" go a long, long way
Locals call it The People's Republic of Ann Arbor or 25 square miles surrounded by reality
We have space for you. You'll get a bedroom, a rooftop terrace, a skylight and a train that comes through twice a night making more noise than you thought legal or even possible
See you there

ah yes... zingermans... i had a turkey and cranberry sandwich there 17 and a half years ago... funny what you remember. and i've been on that train too!
so it's people like you that promote the two middle of the night trains. I knew there was a reason to grumble at you ...
i find the slow rumble and clang of american trains restful...
I thought you were going to say... that must have been a hell of a sandwich... would have been January... 6th or 7th 1990... God i wish my brain still worked like it used to. What day is it?
