Reminder!
The City of Ypsilanti will be holding 2 design charettes TOMORROW,
Thursday, November 8. Meetings will be held at 3pm and 6pm.
I have tried to find more information about these meetings on the
city's website, but have not been able to.
Professor Jones told us about them at the last PLACE meeting and
I'm sure there's a pretty good chance that they are being held in
the city building downtown. Again the times for the meetings are
3pm or 6pm.
If anyone attends this - please let us know. You're welcome to post
your thoughts on the blog.

FIELD TRIPS!
Hi All,
If you don't already know.... EMU's URP and GIS students have been invited, by theTownship Manager Dale Reaume, to tour Grosse Isle Island! He is an EMU Alum and a planner! He will provide us an educational and fun tour on Friday Nov. 9th!
We will meet just outside the Strong Hall Studio Room doors @ 12noon and will leave campus by way of " ride sharing " @ 12:30. We will drive along the Detroit River Front through Wyandotte and arrive at the Grosse Isle Island Township Hall by 3pm. While on the island we will learn about the airport, harbor, open space, housing and other planning related aspects. After the tour, we plan to have dinner (on the island ) at a nice but rather inexpensive restaurant. We should be leaving the island around 7pmish, arriving back in Ypsilanti by 8:30pm.
Consider the immense value in this field trip and Dale's generous offer. Get to know fellow classmates in your program and have a really fun break from the typical class room setting!
So mark your calendars, TELL YOUR FRIENDS and CLASSMATES and let me know if you will be attending...
The other field trip is a little more local. We will pay a visit to Carlisle Wortman Friday Nov. 30th in Ann Arbor. Aaron Flohr is working on trying to get us a combined tour at the Mallet Ann Arbor Library ( a sustainable green building) for the 30th before we go to C.W.
Contact me with questions...

I look forward to seeing you there!
