A reader with one month
A reader with one month to go of his three-year sentence in A2 writes:
I had heard such wonderful things about ann arbor from everyone before I came here, and had never been in Michigan before. I had an open mind when I first arrived, and was soon shocked to discover that Ann Arbor is the most overrated place I have ever been to in my entire life. All of the hype has been generated by imbeciles who have never left Southeastern Michigan…It would not be such an utter tragedy if people were more honest and realistic about the town, but it never ceases to amaze me, after 3 horrid years in this hell, that people consistently and continually act as if Ann Arbor is this paradise, as if there’s New York City, L.A., and Ann Arbor on the map of top places in this country.
And he’s got a new derisive nickname: “O-squared,” for “overrated, overpriced.”
