ann arbor is overrated.

The Ann Arbor News has nothing but praise for the new, yuppified Cafe Zola. Ann Arbor readers might remember ordering a big cup of their terrific coffee at the counter and sitting down in the low-key-stylish room to study, read or sketch, taking liberal advantage of the free refills - before they sold out their student and artist clientele by going to an all-table-service format, effectively shutting down what passed as one of about two independent coffeehouses in A2. But to the News, this development couldn’t be more welcome. “The crowd that soon sits down around us feels and sounds like a city crowd,” writes the reviewer. “Small town, big city: It’s Ann Arbor’s virtue to combine the best of both.” There’s not much else we can say about that.
