My Ann Arbor Commute
 

OK, so my regular commute is to and from the kids' school. Usually there on the freeway (because I'm always on the last minute) and back across town.

1) waiting to turn left at the first main intersection
2) Southbound US23

3) Eastbound I94 (with water tower in distance for cyclefrance)
4) it's neverending....

5) The city park with the ice rink where I take skating lessons. Melted in summer, though -they have an outdoor pool with a waterslide running in the summer
6) Zingermann's Roadhouse Diner Drive-through. The trailer has a huge aluminum coffee-pot spout on the front, but I didn't manage to get that in the picture.

7) Looking behind me towards the freeway I just left (still sat at the intersection with the ice rink on one corbner and the diner on another)
8) Heading straight for downtown Ann Arbor -about a mile from the very center

9) About a half mile away from the city center you can just start to make out the taller buildings
10) At school

11) The school nicely hidden by trees :rolleyes:
12) A random house on the way home

Some more of the way home, then the memory card malfunctioned, so I'm going to use someone else's images of the rest of the way if I can google some! :lol: (I should be able to -I go past the Michigan Stadium)

Is Zingermann's Roadhouse Diner Drive-through, a trailer permanantly parked in a parking lot?

Past what is apparently an old gas station, although i only knew it as a drive-thru bank and now in it's current incarnation as a drive thru coffee shop (Bear Claw)

Finally I wanted to show you the purple "castle" which houses a homeopathic pharmacy. A huge old purple house with turrets and spires. I'll try and snap a pic next time I'm passing -I can't believe I couldn't find a pic.

Yes, but it's in the parking lot of Zingerman's Roadhouse restaurant.


(oops, only one N in Zingerman's)

A while back, my mother had an art show in Ann Arbor, and loved her visit there. Thanks for the pics, monster!

you're welcome. Oh And I meant westbound I94. You feel cheated now, dontcha?

Ah ha, clever way to add a drive through without remodeling the whole joint. Thanks.
