I find lost things, watch Ann Arbor City Council, and I like squirrels, tech, and city living. Change is fine. Primarily pedestrian.
Speak softly and carry a brick, just in case!

Oh yes! It would also work with no meat at all! We often make it that way. Just use more onions or veggie stock for a bit more flavor. A small amount of butter or olive oil just to carry a bit of flavor also helps. And lots of salt. 😂

Husband made a Michigan bean soup (using Michigan great northern beans, obvs).

I’m pretty well acquainted with most of these sites and even at low permanent vacancy rates, they have more full-time, year-round residents than they used to and they give back FAR more money to the city in taxes than the former structures. And the new condos shovel their sidewalks.

Oof, I bet someone is seriously looking for those!

Thank you both so much! I didn’t see your post until too late yesterday or I would have come to help.

I left that group when Ranzini said I would have more friends if I were nicer to people (he ment men, of course) online.

No, I missed that! And I’m sure it flew over my house. Seems… odd, to be honest. But hey, you can’t say there hasn’t been a lot of engagement!

I hate this as much as I hate leaf blowers, which is A LOT! Also people who clear their driveways and not the sidewalks.

Although most US cities have failed at attracting families with kids in downtowns and other urban places (largely through the creation of a self-fulfilling prophesy of failure), other places, including Vancouver, have succeeded. Read my @vox.com interview with @volts.wtf. www.vox.com/2017/6/21/15...
Young families typically leave cities for the suburbs. Here’s how to keep them downtown.
