Three decades of music with MTV

Maker Faire in Dearborn this weekend

I’ve seen a few fliers for Maker Faire here and there, at Eastern Market and around the neighborhood, and I’ve been wondering what it was and why they can’t spell “fair” correctly. As it turns out, it’s a pretty big event, held at The Henry Ford in Dearborn. The tables I’d seen before had...

Ann Arbor Art Fair kicks off today

I lived in Ann Arbor for about three years, and every year, I had a love/hate relationship with the Ann Arbor Art Fair. I hated attempting to drive around all the blocked streets, and, even though I lived outside the more bustling part of the city, I somehow always managed to live near a...

‘Chicago’ coming to a stage near you

It’s summer, and the living is easy. Except when you’re hot. And sunburned. And have sand everywhere. And sick of reading magazines outside. Yes, as bad as it sounds, I’m sure all of need a little bit of variety to break up the monotony of the hot summer days, especially if we’re home with...

‘Glee’ and other high school dramas

Apparently, there are two types of people in this world: Those who love the television show “Glee,” and those who don’t. Count me in the second category. It’s not that I harbor a lot of animosity toward the show; I just don’t get it. I don’t understand the draw of singing and dancing high-school...
