Kingsley & Ashley

Kingsley/Ashley area: Flurry of new street-tree planting, mostly redbud and serviceberry. [photo] I wouldn’t place any bets whether that particular row survives ‘121 Kingsley West‘condo construction.

Whenever a developer coyly shows a birds-eye rendering (or says “townhouse”), expect this: [photo]

721 N. Main

A modest pile of salt/sand remains at 721 N. Main, but it’s mostly sand. A stout shovel is mandatory. [photo] [The material is free to residents from the city of Ann Arbor, up to a 5-gallon limit.]

618 S. Main

Peek through window of former Delux Drapery at 624 S. Main, during demolition of Fox Tent & Awning: [photo] Fox Tent building is all rubble now. But Main Street and former Vet buildings remain: [photo]

Munching on a Blimpy. (Or its neighboring house on Madison, actually…) [photo]

Orange track equipment setting ties and grading ballast. White vehicles still have “Norfolk Southern” included a passenger bus. I think we’re getting our high-speed rail. [photo]

Packard & Division

A sad remnant of happier times; the former Blimpy Burger canopy: [photo 1]. The site seems to be undergoing asbestos abatement. A view from backside of block: [photo 2]. Whole University of Michigan “Blimpy Burger” project site ringed with Walbridge construction fence. Door of 543 S. Division: [photo 3]

721 N. Main

Demolition of a former city fleet services building under way – the long, concrete-block one: [aerial view from Google Maps] MacKenzie Co. crew apparently separating recyclable metals from roof structure. [photo]

Scio Church & Seventh

Voxphoto — Fri, 09 Aug 2013 17:41:53 +0000

It seems there’s no legal way for a lone cyclist to turn from eastbound Scio Church bike lane onto Seventh. Sensor loop in pavement cannot detect a bicycle as a metal object; so left arrow never turns green.
