Ms. Lowenstein, the Ypsilanti event was free, family friendly and inclusive. As someone who went out to dinner in downtown A2 on New Year’s Eve and then to the Ark for a show, and ended up spending eght dollars for a few hours of parking, I’m sure you and your friends on the DDA will do everythihng you can to make such an event in Ann Arbor elitist, exclusionary and expensive, if your record as an elected and appointed official is any indication. Terrific is probably not the right word.

Wasn’t there something a few years back (maybe more than a few) in Ypsi for New Year’s that was a kind of moveable feast of cultural events all around Depot Town? A Downtown Ann Arbor event would be terrific.

How about a New Year’s Eve concert from the A2SO?

There was also a “flash mob” 4-mile run through downtown Ann Arbor this past New Year’s Eve. I could see a New Year’s Eve run becoming attached to a New Year’s Eve event at Kerrytown, ending with hot cider and champagne… In NYC there is a very popular New Year’s Eve run through Central Park that begins shortly before midnight, and the runners run past the midnight fireworks.

What a fabulous idea for New Year’s. Yes, let’s make it happen! My fantasy would include small fire pits scattered here and there, each with a small group of strangers getting to know each other.
