Ashley Terrace Rocks
There’s a hole with a lot of rocks. People want them, but they can’t have them. Also, Mayor Hieftje’s going to star in an improv comedy show based on events from his life.

Ha Ha Hieftje.
One possible new moniker for Hizzoner.

It’s a really great show. We have a different guest each week who serves as a monlogist. Their monologues inspire comic improv scenes.
If you think you can do better than the Mayor, let me know, we’re always looking for people to be Citizen Improv.
Thanks!

Only in Ann Arbour would even the construction managers be so snobby. Obviously this city needs a blog dedicated to criticizing it in every possible way. Thank GOD for annarborisoverrated.com.

Leave it to AA to make a smug lefty real-estate agent the mayor….

I didn’t see any council members there. There was a reference by Hieftje to the Elvis Costello concert chair-dancing comment on AAiO by way of introductory comments.
The CI cast took the mayor’s stories about an Armenian real estate client, a Carolinan female relative who used a rake to protect her cured ham from a bear, and neckid Fifth Ward voters, and transformed them into something that had most folks laughing pretty hard. For my part, just watching a mayoral election committee strategize about how to best capture the nude Ann Arbor vote was worth the price of admission. My ward pride was wounded only slightly by the bit about the Fourth Ward having more entertaining to offer (parties with body shots) than doing laundry like the Fifth Warders.
When Wendy takes her turn (date TBA, I think) on the CI stage, I hope she can defend the honor of the Fifth Ward.
