My Iowa Commute - Page 10

monster · 06-27-2007, 09:06 PM

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

monster · 06-27-2007, 09:18 PM

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

monster · 06-27-2007, 09:20 PM

11) The school nicely hidden by trees

12) A random house on the way home

monster · 06-27-2007, 09:24 PM

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!

(I should be able to -I go past the Michigan Stadium)

monster · 06-27-2007, 09:35 PM

Pioneer High School (in winter)

which is kitty corner to:

The U of Michigan Stadium

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

monster · 06-27-2007, 09:45 PM

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)

turning right by the Meri Lou Murray Rec center

monster · 06-27-2007, 09:49 PM

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!

monster · 06-28-2007, 07:45 AM

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