  • If you've never been to Michigan, you need to know about Meijer's. Imagine a grocery store that also sells (a lot of) clothing, CDs, books, music, furniture, toys, electronic equipment, automobile accessories, and lawn and garden equipment. Now imagine it being open 24 hours a day.
    If it's 3am and you just -really need- to swing by the store to pick up milk, frozen pizza, a bookcase, a can of Fix-Flat, pictures for your living room, the latest Madonna CD, some underwear, a couple of cans of paint, and a barbecue grill, there's no better place. Since I've been living in California, Meijer's is, oddly, one of the things I miss the most. Having a one-stop store which keeps pace with my sometimes odd schedule was just amazing.

    Walking through the Arboretum...

  • Walking through the Arboretum - the university has a large area of land that is basically in the city that is great to walk around. It is quite hilly and goes down to the river. It is very pretty, and very relaxing (or great for a short trail run) You can enter the 'Arb' from near the hospital or off of Geddes, just east of Observatory

  • Go for walks in any one of Ann Arbors parks. One of my favorite places to take a quiet stroll is at the end of Island Drive. The address is:
    1450 Island Drive

    For other parks in the area goto the City of Ann Arbor Parks and Rec site listed below.

    p.s. My Island Drive Walk has parking available.
