We're such snobs here.

Perusing the latest issue of the Ann Arbor Observer, I was once again struck by the incredible snobbiness of Ann Arborites. This guy, not even a native, explains how he came to move to A2 from lame Livonia, a mere 15 minutes away. He waxes poetic about the trivia contests at the Ann Arbor bars, (see our drunks are so much smarter than your middle class Livonia drunks) and seeing B.B. King at Hill auditorium, which wouldn't be the same if he were a visitor. He actually italicized visitor. There is one major difference between A2 and Livonia and that difference is that Ann Arborites are generally major blowhard SNOBS. The rest of the Observer celebrates our new metrosexual gym (apparently imported from Vancouver) and a lengthy discussion about whether we should eliminate all parking in the downtown area. (Apparently to keep the visitors out). I do like many aspects of living in a University town. Yes admittedly there are a few differences, but being insufferable about it, is very big fish in small pond. Check it out at arborweb.com .
