I haven’t posted for a while, but that’s because I’ve moved somewhere completely new in the last week or so and I’m still settling in. So good to be out of Ann Arbor.
So, the new town? Well, it’s a college town that got its name from a woman called Ann. It features kitschy restaurants and a cute nickname (”Naptown”).
Here’s a look at one of its historic districts:
All right, I’m exaggerating a bit. Her name was actually Anne.

You really are a glutton for punishment, aren’t you? Ahahahaha….. by the way, Cory, Andre and I escaped AA last week and live in Chicago now! Look us up next time you visit your parents.

“Naptown”? I can hear the realtors now — “It’s a great place to retire and/or raise children!”

Hi Anthony, great to hear from you! I hope you’re enjoying Chicago.
Naptown — not to be confused with its neighbor Snoozetown.

I thought you had been kidnapped, maybe to be John McCain’s running mate.
…”kitschy restaurants and a cute nickname (”Naptown”).” No “kitschy kitschy koo” jokes though, please!

So, exactly how does it compare to A2? Is it too early to tell?

The local college football team has a long-standing rivalry with Notre Dame. Another similarity.

Had dinner with an AA councilman last night, who noted that AA has an ordinance against killing chickens in city limits. So he worries that the city will soon need a chicken retirement community.

I think they just need to take the chicken outside city limits and do the deed, or hire a hitman. Voila…dinner.

Ann Arbor was just voted #3 in the Top 10 Cities to Masturbate Outside a Stranger’s Window in.
