Events from our Sponsors

Michigan Football

The last home game of the 2022 season is on Saturday at noon.

Even if you aren’t attending, make sure to account for traffic in planning your activities for Saturday. I find it easiest to stay on my own side of town, and to use more local roads. Avoiding 94, M-14 at Main St, 23 at Washtenaw, plus Washtenaw, State, Ann Arbor-Saline/Main, and Stadium.

    Looking Forward to Next Week

    This is a short week with Thanksgiving on Thursday. Most local schools are closed Wednesday-Friday giving families a chance to travel for Thanksgiving – or to prepare before the holiday if they are staying home. There are several Thanksgiving events on Tuesday and Wednesday. Then Thursday has two Turkey Trot races to kick off the day.
