It is with sadness, but not surprise that I share the announcement that the Ann Arbor Public Library is postponing the rebuilding of the downtown library. This is a great plan and very exciting but I must say I'm happy that the board has realized we can not afford this building at this time.
The plan is wonderful, exciting but very expensive and we are going to wait until our market turns around before they move forward. The public library will continue to support the downtown library so we don't need to worry about failure for our vibrant downtown in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It will remain a wonderful place to visit and in the future there will be exciting plans for the downtown library.
HealthMedia of Ann Arbor, Michigan has been purchased by Johnson & Johnson.
Ann Arbor, Michigan is home to Google and now Johnson & Johnson. The head of the local company will be retained and "operate on a focus of international growth".
Growth is what the state of Michigan needs and this is not a situation where we will lose jobs. Crain's covered the press release and it is all good for Ann Arbor, Michigan. Jobs are NOT expected to be lost.
HealthMedia is located at 130 First Street and we wish them continued success!!
Welcome Johnson & Johnson.
Dexter, Michigan is a lovely village just West of Ann Arbor and one of the fun fall events is to head out to Jenny's Market and take a horse carriage ride to pick your pumpkin.
There are many items to enjoy like apple cider, pumpkin pie and apple doughnuts.
There is so much fun for the kids at Jenny's Market; it might last at least a half a day. 
There are mini's to pet, hay bales to climb and jump and a fun maze to explore. Just head West on Ann Arbor Dexter road, under the railroad tracks to the corner lot and you have arrived to the fun!
You might wonder if this is horse country and you would certainly be right about that. Wonderful country feel within minutes of Ann Arbor, Michigan.
What a great weekend ahead in Ann Arbor, Michigan. We have the UM home game Saturday and just as exciting is the 5K run on Sunday morning. The run is special for a few reasons:
1. YOU decide on your favorite charity (this is the Big Heart part of the run).
2. YOU finish at the 50 yard line in the Big House (we all know this is the UM Football stadium).
There is a 5K run through Burns Park or a 1 Mile Fun Walk as well and both finish with your finish on the scoreboard for everyone to enjoy.
If you want to support this terrific event they can always use volunteers so please feel free to email: nancy@runningfit.com.
The best news is wonderful weather for Sunday as well!
I would like to introduce you to Dexter, Michigan.
Welcome to fall and I hope you make the trip to a lovely town just west of Ann Arbor, Michigan.
It is a short drive or bike ride along a couple lovely routes. You can take Ann Arbor-Dexter Road or Huron River Drive and you arrive 8 miles later to this lovely town which has a wonderful cider mill. The Dexter Cider Mill is currently open with their wonderful donuts, cider, apples and homemade apple pie.
Wonderful memories are made this way!
I personally know the road and want to let you know that the Dexter-Ann Arbor Road has been repaved and is ready for your bike today!
The apples change as the farmers grow them and just stop by to see which are currently available. I checked on one of my favorite apple for pies: Northern Spy but alas they will probably not come in this year. I learned they are a bi-annual apple. This is another wonderful aspect of visiting the cider mill: you are supporting local farmers!
Enjoy fall today!!
