Trolling About: This is the time to spend time in downtown A2. You can start on Main street and grab a drink and an light lunch in the open air at Cafe Felix or Conor O'Neils or any one of a number of other restaurants. Then walk east on Liberty. At Sam's - great cheap men's wear - you can pick up a hat or sunglasses because you're weren't thinking when you left in the morning. Along Liberty, note all sorts of stuff for future possibilities: Dinner at Seva and a show at the Comedy Showcase in the basement, breakfast at Afternoon Delight, a movie at the Michigan Theatre (it's really beautiful in there) - why is life so short?. You are now right outside Border's, the flagship Border's and as good as any bookstore you'll find. Also surrounding you are a at least three used bookstores, and handful of CD stores, and another handful of used CD stores. None of them had the CD I was looking for, so I had no choice but to wander over to the diag and take a nap under a shady tree. Next I have too many choices: Down to South University to check out the freaky goods at Middle Earth and, if I'm really hungry Be Bim Bop at Steve's Lunch. Or if I'm feeling energetic, a walk through the Arb and then back around to State street for a sandwich from Amer's. As it starts to get late, slide over to Top of the Park for a beer and some music.
In case you're curious, here's a decent evaluation of The Best of Ann Arbor. Even folks as far away as Cincinnati agree it's pretty nice here.
Not there's an interesting project: How To Spend a Weekend In Ann Arbor. Travel writing - for visitors. Hmmmm...
