Go Blue ! I loved Ann Arbor......went to school there. It's a fantastic community.

Yes, it is and my family are all Big U.M. fans !! Do you ever visit ?

Congrats on 100 and the number 5 for Ann Arbor.

Columbus is 36. Thanks for the info on the list. I think I will have to blog about this on Columbus Best Blog but I will link to you!!!

I am not a Buckeye but I will be turning your gloating over #5 for Ann Arbor over to Elaine Reese, she is an OSU graduate. I am a misplaced Badger.

Maureen, thank you so much ! Send Elaine my way, we are Big U. M. fans in my family. All in good fun !

Hello Missy,

I have not been back to Ann Arbor for a long time.....I miss it and I miss Bo. U of M is an awsome school. I was invited last year to attend a game, but I couldn't make it. My sister and brother go to games all the time.....football that is. When I was a kid, my grandparents had a cottage in central Michigan, Grayling on Bear lake. Michigan as whole is a great state. Have you ever run into Ted Nugent?

Sure, I run into Ted all the time ! NOT

I see Elaine on your MyBlogLog.com !!

I tried adding the recent readers to my Active Rain and obviously did something wrong. Gotta add that to the list.

Maureen told me I needed to jump in here, so ...

I didn't graduate from OSU, although I attended 3 quarters, then had a bad car accident. However, I worked to put my ex through OSU and he graduated from there. Then, we were active in the Marysville Alumni Assoc. afterward - he was Pres one year. Anne Hayes borrowed cigs from me when she spoke at one of our meetings, because Woody wouldn't let her smoke.

My claim to fame is that we attended every single home and Michigan game that Archie played. Got to see Woody tear up the yard markers. UGH!!!! The rivalry just hasn't been the same as it was with Woody & Bo.

Robert, I've been to Grayling ... some of my ex's relatives lived there and we visited once. Pretty country driving up there.

I wanted to include The Murph's "fight wolverines" photo but decided to not hijack your post. :-)

Next fall Elaine... November you can do a post w/ Murphies "fight Wolverines"!! and Missy can visit. It looks like Missy joined last December, or started blogging in December anyway

Hi Elaine, we can have some fun with this ! The rivalry is still huge, living in Ann Arbor, but we do miss Bo.

Maureen, I did start in December and I love it. The highlight of my day to sit and post, since the market is so horrible in Ann Arbor, I'm on a lot.

We'll have to get Randy, from Hawaii, to join in this fall. One of their players is expected to win the Heisman. He was runner-up to OSU this past fall. Karen, in Washington, is also a Buckeye fan.

Funny ... I personally don't know too many fans from that state up north. ;-D

Let them know, we'll have a blast. I don't know alot from the state we don't know down South. But, I love football.

Ann Arbor is the #1 place to live, especially if you're a big Wolverine's fan like me!

Go Blue. Maybe this Fall we can have an Active Rain tailgate party and root the Wolverines on to Victory!

Jim, Todd Waller and I are trying to plan a Michigan Activerain get-together soon.

I have also invited the Sellsius Bus to come here this summer.

Missy

Congrats on your 100th post. But watch out I'm only 86 behind. And as its been said here many times "GO BLUE".

BTW. Do you remember Bob Ufer? He was the best announcer ever.

Go for it ! I hope you're busy out there. I know who he is, but I never run into him. I think my kids have through

Don't know how I missed this Missy...but Congratulations are definitely in order...100 Posts...WOW! It's a real tribute to your discipline, perseverance & creativity. Keep it up & best wishes for the Next 100! I felt this sort of news deserves a Cake...so here it is! Celebrating Missy's 100th Post!

Thanks, Lola, your the only one who mentioned it. I appreciate it.

Congrats on your 100th post, Missy. And congrats to your hometown of Ann Arbor. Did you see Petoskey was ranked #2 Getaway Town by Midwest Living, out of something like 5000 towns? When you are baking in Ann Arbor, this summer, come getaway Up North!

Stefan, I won't be basking in Ann Arbor this summer, we have a cottage in the Irish Hills area on Devils Lake. So I'll be laying on our boat blogging away. Petoskey is a beautiful town and that is a well deserved award.

A belated congrats. on post #100. I remember when Money Magazine ranked Ann Arbor #1 in the nation several years back. Ever since then I've had your area on my "travel to-do list."

Thanks Tina, never too late to stop by.

Missy I was in Ann Arbor this weekend at the Hands on Museum... three adults and a four year old... he kept us busy. It was a lot of fun. Then we walked down the street for awhile but it was threatening rain again so we had to stop our site seeing, window shopping, people watching and head back toward Detroit suburbs.

Oh, Maureen, I wish I had known........is it your first time in A2 ?

It was. I did not realize it was so close. I thought about calling you but obviously I did not. It was a fast last minute trip over. I wish we could have walked around more and then driven around.

Next time call, I'd love to take you to lunch. Just don't wear your Ohio State sweat shirt. Ha !
