Here's your local news at a glance for Monday, the 9th of June.
Good morning, Ann Arbor.
Local painters with a 50-year tradition will hold their art fair on June 14 and 15 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Chelsea Community Fairgrounds (20501 Old U.S. 12) where about 18 artists will display and sell original artwork (with a raffle for a $200 art gift certificate).
A new high-end condo complex at the corner of Sunset Road and Wildt Street was built without a sidewalk because the city is studying a plan to fill the gap as part of its capital improvement strategy—residents can join a meeting June 23 at the downtown library to offer feedback.
Officials say the study aims to boost pedestrian safety in the busy area.
Ann Arbor cocktail bars showcased creative drinks with unique recipes such as the non-alcoholic Trade Winds at Lowertown Bar and Cafe, the Fire Breathing Dragon at Peridot, and the Piña Pícante at Nightcap — each offering a different style and set of hours.
