The Ypsi City desk is on vacation to a far away place

Yes fair citizens, The YCD will be taking a few days off to travel to the Atlantic Coast of the swell state of South Carolina. A perplexing state, South Carolina. A very conservative place and yet they sell an awful lot of hats that say 'BJU' for Bob Jones University and shirts that expouse the South Carolina mascot Gamecocks name in big letters on a shirt and GUESS which part of the nickname they use. Mmmm hmmm.

So, Ypsi City Desk will be off the air after tonight's open thread and you can use that to say whatever you want for the week, make an announcement or update people on news in my stead. You can also check out Ypsi Dixit for news and info from around the Huron Valley.

At U-M it's homecoming and Blue welcomes the Boilermakers from maybe the most boring college town ever, West Dumpayette. Johnny knows, he's seen it. All the excitement and klieg lights of Lafayette but only West. More cowbell.

More lighthouse and ocean breeze
