Ypsi Coolness Suffers Another Blow

An “Other Voices” column in the News proposes Ypsi as the new old Ann Arbor. “Rather than tear down the old high school, it’s been remodeled into lovely apartments for senior citizens while keeping the flavor of the stately three-story brick building intact.” Take that, you dorm-building, high-school-destroying Ann Arborites. “It may be a bit ’small town’ for the metrosexuals but, hey, the real thing isn’t for everyone.”

  1. No post on the Google job announcement? There has to be some anti-development, parking, sprawl, or NIMBY aspect to the story, right? It wouldn’t ann arbor without that.

  2. I didn’t know metrosexuals were still around. I thought they went the way of Survivor and Friendster.

  3. There are still a few metrosexual hold-outs in Fort Wayne and Ass Arbor.

  4. Ypsi is still cool in my book. And, with every Ann Arbor improvement, gets cooler.

  5. Ypsi didn’t get the Google call center complex, so it’s still retro.

  6. As perviously stated, Ypsi has the penis tower, Ann Arbor has Google.

    Clearly Ypsi > Ann Arbor

  8. At least Ypsi has substance, Ann Arbor is about as Yuppie soft as a city can get.
