ann arbor is overrated.

We suppose you’re expecting an Art Fair entry. We’re not sure if our delicate constitution will allow us to brave the crowds. But Geoff Larcom may be excited enough for both of us, specifically about the street closings that slow down the remorseless breakneck pace of A2 life. “When else,” he asks, “does our downtown feel like a huge pedestrian mall instead of a collection of busy streets where restaurants place outside patrons right next to the oncoming traffic?” Close your eyes and you can almost imagine you’re in a quaint little Midwestern town.
