Johnny simply CANNOT tell you how he found out but rest assured, while the rest of the suckers tune into this crap show, YOU already know the winner.

More changes at Domino's, sadly including layoffs

Swell

Time for Ypsilanti, After Dark

BOIL WATER ADVISORY in effect for parts of Ypsi

Ever vigilant, the Ann Arbor News gives us this:

A boil-water advisory was issued Tuesday for residents living on River Street between East Cross Street and Michigan Avenue in the city of Ypsilanti.

Residents should boil water for about five minutes before consumption, said Gwyn Belcher, director of administrative services with the Ypsilanti Community Utilities Authority.


A2 News with the rest of the story

The city of Ann Arbor moves to close Studio 4

The city of Ann Arbor is getting all Popeye on the rogue nightclub Studio 4 as by reporting out five complaints to the state's Liquor Control Commission, the city is saying "That's allz I can stand I can't standz no more"

Know what? YCD agrees. Studio 4 is a disgrace. Have you ever walked by that place the following morning? Paper flyers, other paper items all swirling around the busses on 4th Street. It looks like the bar simply swept everything out to the street. Not to mention, shall we say OTHER signs on the sidewalk alcohol was consumed there.

As for what goes on inside?
*Minors drinking
*Fights
*An employee improperly using a weapon
*An employee pepper spraying a man outside the bar

Sure some of this goes on elsewhere, just not as much or as often. The city wouldn't lose anything by closing this dump down.

Ann Arbor La Shish WILL REMAIN OPEN

Johnny hauled himself from his sickbed to do some checking and got word from a manager at the A2 La Shish, and he told me the Ann Arbor location has nothing to do with the other locations and will remain open.

You may now celebrate or not but at least Johnny will still get to eat those wonderful cornish hens there.
