Blimpy Burger And Ypsilanti (With A Touch Of Water Street Snark)

Comments (0) 12:45 PM posted by admin |

As many of you know, Ann Arbor’s iconic Blimpy Burger must move now that the University of Michigan purchased its building.

As you can imagine this set off a wave of activity around the area as people and politicians began plotting. The following is an exchange between City of Ypsilanti officials, Ypsilanti DDA members, and some local business owners.

The most important thing you should take away from this is, as absurd as this all sounds, it’s exactly what it sounds like when you say it.

I am shocked! Absolutely shocked!

Over the weekend, I traded emails with a bunch of people regarding the notion of selling 1.25 acres of property in the Water Street development area to Core Resources Inc. so that a Family Dollar could be built on the site. In all but one of those exchanges, I was very diplomatic in my responses; thanking everyone for the email and playing devil’s advocate when appropriate.

Making Sense Of Family Dollar

On Tuesday, November 20th, Ypsilanti City Council will take up the decision on whether or not begin negotiating with Core Resources, Inc. of Cincinnati, OH, on whether or not the City of Ypsilanti will sell one of its precious parcels in Water Street for development.

In 2010, Council adopted a policy that said we would hold a public hearing and take input before executing a sale. Since this technically isn’t a sale, there will be no public hearing.

So the joke’s on you, constituents!
