Oh, goodness, where is Ann Arbor? Sigh..and I thought we were the 
center of the world.

I'm tempted to launch into the song "Hail to the Victors Valiant", 
but in fact in 20 years I've only been to one University of Michigan 
football game (Gerald Ford, former President of the U.S. went to U of 
M and the Chinese government wanted to honor him. When he disembarked 
they played the fight song from Michigan State University instead of 
the University of Michigan.....yes, yes, another joke). U of M is 
supposed to be the "Harvard of the Midwest". 

Ann Arbor is near Detroit, Michigan, was the home of the Students for 
a Democratic Society and the Weather Underground, and is the only 
community in the country to have passed a millage (property tax) to 
construct a shelter for battered women and their children.

OH! And it has an anti-discrimination ordinance that includes sexual 
orientation AND a domestic partner ordinance.
