This is actually a 2.5 star review. My BF liked the IPA and the nitrous creamy beer they had was smooth, light, and flavorless -- great for a poseur beer (well, microbrew) drinker.
Now I love me some southern food. I love catfish, ribs, greens, mac 'n cheese, grits. Pile it on, honey. We ordered all of that plus some corn bread. But man, they couldn't put together a solid southern dish, and we ordered oodles of them.
It was as bland as canned food. You could tell there was no love in making the meals. Who cares if the stuff is made with organic ingredients? The ribs were cold and the sauce was disappointing. The sliders didn't have enough greasy flavor. The so-called "catfish" was like fish 'n chips, honey. That ain't how you make catfish. I can honestly say I cannot recommend any of the food here. The least disappointing thing were the veggies we ordered for my son.
The service was great, the atmosphere was really comfy. But man, if you are going to do soul food, DON'T FORGET THE SOUL!

I attended a party for Viva Radio upstairs. First of all, the bouncer wasn't much of a bouncer. I felt like I could poke him over with my pinky finger. Then, there was no Guinness at the upstairs bar. However, the bartender poured a generous drink.
The dancing was fun. I liked looking at the crazy Jesus figurines. I couldn't figure out the decor, but it was kind of like "Diner meets the Last Supper in Neonville" or something.
People like to throw this word "hipster" around. I feel like I saw a lot of people who could be classified as "hipsters" -- but only if you use that term hatefully.

This is actually a great place to consider going to if you have a baby. I know that sounds weird, but I don't really go into places of "worship", but I read that it is a good idea to take babies to places where they have to learn how to be quiet without toys or food to distract them. That was actually great yet frustrating advice. This was the only place I was comfortable going to and it was perfect.
This is also my last review as a Scout! My term is over, and it was very fun and hectic! Best of luck to the new crew!

City of Ann Arbor Farmers Market
Category: Farmers Market
I have a lot of affection for this market. It's a treat when you're walking by and you've forgotten that it's market day. The vendors offer a delicious assortment of produce at affordable prices -- it's also a good idea to try and support local farmers when you can.
I also highly recommend buying fresh herbs from here and cookin' it up because food tastes so much better.

This is a historical home in Flint, that is related to the Whaley's Children and also Home for Women. It is a beautiful house. I stopped by recently because they had a great exhibitin on Victorian Fashion. That's actually the kind of thing I'm interested in, period fashion. I also have a place in my heart for old houses.
This house has been around since the 19th century, and it's hard to think of Flint as a city that was around during that era, but it was. You can host your wedding and reception here, but since it is a museum there are a lot of restrictions. For instance, you can only have champagne and white wine for alcoholic drinks.
Afternoon Tea is on Saturdays. What a great place for Flint

This is great if you are a tourist, if you are shopping for a tourist, or if you are a student with no creativity whatsoever.

I went here a couple of times with some friends who lived in that hell highriser, University Towers. The drinks were unmemorable, except for the one that my friend had who was convinced that the cup kept refilling itself.
He was a pretty cocky guy. We played a video game together. I almost schooled him at a race and they he got all macho on me when he won -- I wanted to laugh because I sucked so it wasn't a big deal to beat me.
So, it was interesting enough for me to have some memories tucked away.

The food here is delicious. I am a big fan of soul food.
Gripe: It is only open on Friday. Great music and atmosphere however, with seating outside under the big buildings. Highly recommended.

This is a great location to take a stroll. I am NOT a fan of traffic circles, however.
Stop by instead of driving past it if you can. There is a huge monument dedicated to Detroit Civil War heroes, with the warrior Michigan standing at the top.

I usually order their mango smoothie or a Spanish latte because I love the condensed milk. Though I am not a fan of their atmosphere, I do know I can usually get a table here and use their wireless. I also have a great chance of having room for my son in his stroller as well.
