There Are No Heroes Here | Urban Oasis

This is not to say that local homeowners are off the hook. In Ann Arbor, which I studied for my masters thesis, I think they deserved a good bit of blame on some occasions. In many cases former students, when they become homeowners, shift their alliances and values, something we see especially when students of the 60s, 70s, and early 80s reaped the benefits of urban deindustrialization as students with cheap housing and of urban revitalization as homeowners with rising property values.

Lesko Lie Of the Day #5 « arborblahg

I’ve received emails from readers who say they’ve posted corrections to Lesko’s statements, links to sites that disprove her claims, and even links to stories she very selectively cites from. All have been deleted Soviet-style.…"

Kissing Ann Arbor’s Ass While Dissing The Rest Of The State « arborblahg

"I would cut AnnArbor.com some slack if they had made the case for our state as a whole. But instead they indulged in the same old ”Michigan blows but Ann Arbor is great” garbage this town has been gagging up for decades.

No wonder the rest of the state can’t stand us. Ann Arbor is like that greasy dweeb in college who’d show up at parties and smugly explain how all my favorite bands and movies sucked.

God, I hated that guy."

"The majority of Council voted against the Anglin - Briere resolution to publish the Council meeting emails. The Council majority have said that if this is important to the citizens of Ann Arbor let them pay for it and do the work the Council claims is so expensive.
We ask your help in obtaining the information. There will be some minor expense but if shared by many it should not be prohibitive. The typical charge so far has been less than $3.00 per meeting for the requests.
because many sites will host material without charge, we believe our group can make the information publicly available at very little cost. In any case we can have some fun and a learning experience."

The Wisdom of Fun: Harnessing games & play for useful work

"Humans are habitual problem-solvers, so obsessed with puzzles and patterns that for millennia we’ve posed riddles and created games to fill our “idle time.” But these obsessive problem-solving habits are traditionally seen as a distraction from the “real work” of business, scholarship and public policy.

That is no longer true… if it ever was.

This is the first of a series of three open-format workshops scheduled for 2009 & 2010, where we’ll gather to explore the new ways game play is becoming “useful” work—useful for people and institutions."

[FORTH FROM ITS HINGES]

"The site-based production offers artists and audiences alike the opportunity to experience large-scale installations and experimental performances that transcend the usual and explore the unknown--this is not a gallery, club, concert hall, or street fair. The young FFIH curators aim to expose and expand their own community of unseen talent by producing a series that is free from expectation, free from censorship, free from tradition, and free of charge. Forth From Its Hinges seeks to represent local art, not as it exists today, but as what it can and will be in the future."

The Ann Arbor Chronicle » City and Residents to Make Tree Policy

"We asked the city of Ann Arbor for all the electronic deliverables from Davey. And we provide the following data with a caveat: On Monday evening, city staff stressed that they were still doing some quality control work on the initial data set – so the data provided to The Chronicle is a snapshot of the city’s trees as assessed by the Davey Resource Group. The city’s inventory will presumably be maintained as a frequently updated data set that changes as trees are pruned, removed, or planted."

Ann Arbor Summer Festival - Events - Activities & Attractions

"Uncork your experimental mind! UM School of Art & Design brings its Animation Station to the Top of the Park for three nights of community movie-making using the techniques of stop-motion animation.

The Animation Station is easy to use and allows you to create your own stop-motion animation without previous experience. Dry-erase markers, a whiteboard and various objects for animating will be your tools. Whether it's political satire, random drawings, personal confession, or viral experimentation - bring your imagination and join the loop. (And, if you want, bring your own materials too.)"

Washtenaw Avenue Talent Center — Community Success

"The retention and attraction of talented, creative people is a principle resource that grows a successful regional economy enhancing the quality of place over the long term. While the Ann Arbor region provides a variety of housing, there is a serious gap in providing afforable places for talent to live. Residents that are just starting their career have limited affordable housing choices in the City of Ann Arbor. The talent workforce prefers vibrant places to live which are also in close proximity to public transit."

Washtenaw County MI-SBTDC: Chelsea Michigan Kitchen Incubator Project

"Today began the first in a series of meetings to discuss the possibility of creating a Kitchen Incubator in the Washington Street Education Center. This plan would take advantage of the existing cafeteria kitchen space by repurposing it for local entrepreneurs. As this was an initial brainstorming meeting specific details were not discussed rather a broad range of topics related to the success or failure of this new venture. The discussion was organized yet still very open and conducive for creative thoughts thanks to the presenting team of Victoria Bennett and Krissa Rumsey, of Washtenaw Community College."

A2DDA Blocks Asterisk Parking Data | VoIP Tech Chat

“Hi all. Over the last day or so I have talked about your project with a few DDA members and what arose from these conversations was a shared concern that because the project was not an initiative created by/run by the DDA there are no controls in place for this at present. For instance, there is no DDA policy about how to allow /or even if it should allow an outside group to use the DDA’s parking data for a private enterprise. There is a concern about how unsecure/secure the DDA website is made when sharing this data. And finally, a concern that if the project had value to parking patrons, that the DDA itself should consider providing this service as an extension of what it is already doing on-line.”

Requirements for Exemption - Business League

"Trade associations and professional associations are business leagues. Chambers of commerce and boards of trades are of the same class as business leagues, but rather than promoting one or more lines of business, their efforts are directed to promoting the common economic interests of all commercial enterprises in a given trade community. The requirements for exemption of these organizations are the same as for business leagues."

If The News itself had been frank about what’s happening there, she wouldn’t have much of a story to tell. And I would be writing a much different column than the one you’re reading today."

The Ann Arbor Chronicle » Column: Survey Says, “Help Us Design One”

"In an attempt to make up partly for that information deficit, I’ll suggest that we put together an online survey available here on The Chronicle to serve two specific purposes. The first goal would be to add citizen input to Fraser’s directive to staff: how do you think we could save 15% over the next two years? The second goal would be to supplement the picture of Ann Arbor that the National Citizens Survey gives.

So until the end of the year, we’ll take suggestions in the comments section of this article for survey questions along those lines. We’ll launch the survey on Jan. 1, 2009. Thanks in advance for your help."

Communities plan for a low-energy future | csmonitor.com

"One item in the Transition tool kit is “reskilling” – reviving energy-frugal skills that past generations took for granted, such as how to repair something rather than buying new and how to grow and preserve food. Says Proulx-Lough, who has spent time in Totnes twice this year: “A workshop on darning socks – that’s practical action, and an excuse to do things together!”
Among other Transition activities:

• Planting nut trees on street corners and orchards in the city.

• Signing up 50 people to buy solar hot-water heaters so the units can be purchased at a discount.

• Interviewing seniors who recall what living a low-energy life was like.

• Holding bicycle-repair workshops"

Nacht put the letters from the city and the county in the context of a request from U.S. Congressman John Dingell, who in a recent meeting with key players stressed the need to establish a legal authority, so that he could find federal money to help fund it."
