First & William Comments (2)
Train engine and one double-decker passenger rail car are positioned near the parking lot at First & William for public tours, as part of Friday’s Green Fair. According to a city press release, the train cars are former Metra bi-level gallery cars that were refurbished by the Great Lakes Central Railroad. This type of passenger car could serve on a commuter line between Ann Arbor and Detroit or between Ann Arbor and Howell, according to the city. [photo] [photo]

Fans of Darren Criss, some a bit soggy from the rain, are lined up from Michigan Theater east to State, north to Washington, west to the Liberty Square parking garage. Roadies unloading bus on Washington. It’s part of Sonic Lunch series. Currently not raining. [photo]

Lovely light before the storm. But what is this small fence up in the air? And why are there two of them? I’m not a ball player and I can’t imagine what role they play in the game. [photo]
Farmers Market Comments (4)
Wednesday evening farmers market includes live music, fresh produce, food carts and some lovely tables/chairs for hanging out. Only disappointment: no strawberries. Maybe next week? [photo]

Always fun to run into John U. Bacon in the wild – this time with a manuscript of his upcoming book, “Fourth and Long: The Future of College Football.” He’d been taking a final red pen to it – the book will be published by Simon & Schuster in September 2013. [photo]

Burnt out apartments at 1310 Packard still smell of fire.
S. Maple near W. Stadium Comments (3)
These arrows in the South Maple Kroger parking lot indicate we should drive on the left. All other arrows in same parking lot, including those at the other end of this lane, are correct. Perhaps this pair is the work of a disgruntled road painter who wants to return to British rule? [photo]
