Preview: Above all else, Ann Arbor is known as the home of the University of Michigan. The school, founded in 1837 in Detroit, dominates geographically, culturally, and economically. Atlases may list the population as 114,000 (it can be twice that size on football Saturdays), but Ann Arbor provides enough culture and cuisine to power a fair-size city. Perhaps because U of M has been a part of Ann Arbor since the city’s earliest days, the university and city have a rare synergy you won’t find in other college communities. State Street’s campus-town vibe rubs against Main Street’s commercial downtown, creating a vibrant community of energetic and ambitious U of M students and alumni, who often run the businesses dotting the area. This chapter covers a complete weekend getaway. Inside you'll find information on what to see and do, tours, sports, shopping, local events, lodging, dining, and essential travel information.
