East Side Day One: Ann Arbor

[globalesque]

Being born and raised a Spartan, taught from birth to hate the Wolverines and everything connected to them in any way is, sans the terrorist killings, rather like “the troubles” in Ireland. Michigan State is the best and only way. Blind devotion is required of true believers. It’s us or them. What we do is right. What they do is not and cannot be.

Yeah, Ann Arbor is pretty awesome. I've only been there a couple times but it seems so nice, and there are lots of good restaurants and concerts and things like that and it actually feels like a fairly cosmopolitan college town and not like you're in Michigan. Not to mention there is a Trader Joe's out there. How I miss Trader Joe's!

I don't care about sports, but I feel a lot of pressure from folks around here to pretend to be a Spartans fan, even though that's obviously a much worse mascot.

The best thing in East Lansing is probably the MSU dairy store. Good ice cream! As a town though, it doesn't seem very exciting.
