And I was willing to give her lots!

My friends told me to go to Mast Shoes.
They specialize in comfortable shoes.

His mom was standing near by trying to manage his younger sister.
Upon turning to get help drying his hands, the boy was delighted to discover the automated paper towel machine…
“Shazam!”

As summer arrives in Ann Arbor, so does the Top of the Park (TOP).
TOP is like a big block party held on UM campus every night for three weeks with lots of food, interesting bands with space for dancing, movies during the week - and fabulous people watching!
