This press release comes hot off the presses, which or course, is where most press releases — hot or not — come from. It appears that a young upstart named Pete Murdock has thrown his hat into the ring and will run for the Ward 3 City Council seat this August in Ypsilanti. City Council could use some new blood and this newcomer looks like he would make an excellent representative.

The Best Of

In The Current’s most recent “Best of Washtenaw County” poll, Ypsilanti kicked some ass, winning a ton of awards. To be fair, some of the winner’s don’t really qualify for the categories anymore, but who cares? Winning is all that matters, and Ypsilanti won big.

The Downtown Association of Ypsilanti has officially unveiled their new brochures. The ink is still so fresh that you can get a contact high just from opening them and rubbing them all over your face. Soon you will be able to pick one up at participating local merchants all over town. In addition, a giant stash has already been delivered to the Ypsilanti Area Convention & Visitor’s Bureau for installation in every hotel and bed and breakfast in the area.

Granholm Hates Incubators (OK, Maybe Hate Is Too Strong)

You figured it had to happen. The second the City of Ypsilanti commits $5K per year over the next three years to the new Ann Arbor SPARK incubator that will be located in Historic Downtown Ypsilanti, Governor Granholm uses her line-item veto and removes funding for two business incubators in Macomb and Washtenaw counties.

Cuatro de Mayo

Most Americans believe that Cinco de Mayo is the celebration of Mexico’s independence from the Spanish colonial government. (Mexican Independence Day is actually September 16th for those interested.) Cinco de Mayo is actually the commemeration of General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguin’s forces over the French in the Battle of Peubla on May 5th, 1862.
