Ann Arbor, Michigan: Much to Like

I had a double reminder tonight of how lucky I am to live here.

The Ann Arbor Summer Festival—23 days performing artists, outdoor movies, food, and more located 10 minutes walk from home—ended a few days ago. In two days, Ann Arbor will be flooded with 500,000+ visitors drawn to the Ann Arbor Street Art Fair. Carol, the kids, and I just got back from from the traditional "Townie" party thrown the Monday before the start of the art fair. Carol and Frankie rode bikes, the girls and I walked.

On the way home, I was thinking how nice it was to have live music, food, games for kids, etc., on a beautiful campus and just a few minutes walk from home. So, I was in the right frame of mind to discover a short e-mail note, recently sent out by Ann Arbor SPARK, highlighting a few cool Ann Arbor tidbits:

Ann Arbor USA is rich, rich, rich in talent. Get a 30-second overview at www.annarborusa.com/talent and pass it along to someone who needs to know.
By the way, did you know that Ann Arbor was recently named the 3rd smartest city in the nation?
Who says Ann Arbor is on the verge of becoming one of the world's hot spots for business start ups? Fast Company magazine. Read about it here.

Oh, and did I mention Wolverine sports? :)
