ann arbor is overrated.

A centrally located downtown property being turned into a parking lot? It’s not surprising that A2 residents showed up at city council in force to protest.

Oh, wait. The area that councilmember Margie Teall calls “the heart of the city” is already a parking lot. It’s the proposal to turn it into a police station that has Ann Arborites up in arms.

“Liberty will die,” one speaker said about the prospect of “a large city building…put on the library lot.” Well, the News printed the speaker’s words as “Liberty [Street] will die,” but we’re not so sure that they weren’t intended as spoken.
