If you didn’t know, “insalate” is a restaurant term meaning “if we use foreign words, we can charge you more.”


If you don’t love the Law Quad, you’re not alive.  Also, you probably love that ridiculous addition they put on the Museum of Art.

Oh, the drama!

While I was wandering Ann Arbor with my camera two weeks ago, I happened across an amusingly dramatic bit of graffiti in an alley off Liberty:

Last Friday, Editor Terry and I visited the Ann Arbor Comedy Showcase to gather material for an upcoming story.  Upon finding the club — which is cleverly concealed in the basement of a restaurant — we watched the first show (well, I took some pictures, too); after the show, he talked to the comedians (two openers and a headliner) while I took a few more pictures.

Did I laugh?  Yes.  And since I was there on business, I’ll be able to deduct that laughter.  (No, not really.)
