Around Town

For someone with such a love for airplanes, and aviation in general, it might be hard to believe that I have never attended an air show. This ended on Saturday, August 20, when my brother and I attended “Thunder Over Michigan” at Willow Run Airport, near Detroit. My brother, who also shares a love of aviation, lives in Ann Arbor …

Hi. My name is Axel and I am a male black and tan shepherd mix. I’m about two years old and have medium long hair, kind of like a collie. My dark colors are very pretty and muted. I have a lot of energy because I am young but I obey pretty well and walk nicely on a leash. I …

Hello there. I’m Lydia and I am a black and white female jack russell terrier. I’m about 7 years old and a bit plump. I’m very friendly and like to be with people.

Monday was Labor Day, a holiday for just about everyone. Your trash removal person had the day off, but will be working this next Saturday. …

While summer is not officially over, with students (and teachers!) heading back to school, football starting and yes, even the leaves are beginning to change color, all signs point toward the end of summer. For all the big plans I made this summer, sadly, not all of my dreams became a reality. But that is not to say summer was …

Hello! I’m Dallas and I am a black and tan male, about 3 years old. I have a nice curly tail and I like to be with people. I get along with other dogs and like to play. I’m not real hyper and walk very nicely on a leash and I am just the right size for a house dog. …

Weather is an easy topic to write about. It’s always there and, most of the time, its popularity is way below par. There’s nothing we can really do about it, especially here in Pure Michigan.
