lynne - 2004-08-18 21:11:12 I always thought it looked very tidy and well-kept, with people taking pride in their houses. Very pleasant-looking...but a bit out of my price range when I was house-shopping in 2000; I also live east of Depot Town.* * * * * * * * * * * * lynne - 2004-08-19 10:02:40 What a coincidence. I was house shopping in 2000 too and also found most of the Normal Park houses just out of my range. There was one I could afford but then I found this one I live in now. * * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2004-08-19 10:06:41 it's a two-person trend. :)* * * * * * * * * * * * raymond - 2004-08-19 11:44:50 People who would prefer to live in Ann Arbor often settle there. The prices are so much better. And you don't have to go near the rest of Ypsi. But many who appreciate Ypsi also choose Normal Park. An active neighborhood association operates there. The June yard sales make for good junking. Many EMU staff and faculty live there, but not the interim EMU president with his $18,333.33 per month salary, free new car, and free fenced palace. Ypsi, always on the up- or the down-swing, is anyway interesting and colorful.* * * * * * * * * * * * robert - 2004-08-19 14:15:10 thanks for posting my question, that was nice of you. sounds like a cool neighborhood, i am looking forward to moving in.* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2004-08-19 14:24:33 you're welcome. If you call the Convention and Visitor's Bureau at 483-4444, they will be happy to put together a packet of community guides & a map & they'll send it for free to an Ypsi address. There's a Visitor's Guide and a community resource printed by the Courier with lots of community phone #s.* * * * * * * * * * * * Scott - 2004-08-20 12:36:22 I live at the corner of Summit and Congress, which borders that hood(lol). Very nice, quiet area. you should be happy there.* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2004-08-20 12:45:35 and treesy.* * * * * * * * * * * * Tuesday - 2004-08-20 15:35:29 My friends live just down the street from you Scott; they're the hippies. There are good parts and bad parts in Ypsi but it's one of those strange towns where each of the repesctive sides mingle into each other's territory. Don't be surprised to see a man with no face strolling down the sidewalk, or Ezel, or the paper guy (he gashes the paper and throws it on the ground), etc... That's Ypsi. Either you'll love it and defend it to your death or you'll hate it and flee. lol* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2004-08-20 15:43:35 Tuesday, may I ask who is Ezel & the paper guy? curious.* * * * * * * * * * * * Tuesday - 2004-08-20 18:37:53 Ezel is the guy that is always cleaning up around town, yelling out, "Alright, Alright, God Bless...". The paper guy is some presumebly homeless guy that used to be a lawyer or something. I've only actually seen him once but I know he hangs around that area because my friend, the hippie, sees him all the time. He's real crazy and angry and carries a briefcase. He scribbles something on a piece of paper and then tosses it on the ground. Sometimes he even goes in the police station near the courthouse and hands them his scribbles. Funny. There are a ton of characters downtown. I actually miss them now that I live out in the township.* * * * * * * * * * * * add your comment: |
