Hi neighbors!

January is nearly over, which means I’m going to start my spring countdown.

49 days until spring!

In other news, there’s a new bagel shop coming to Ann Arbor (they’re aiming to open in mid-February, but no official opening date yet). Bo’s Bagels is an NYC shop that makes fresh bagels by hand everyday, but they’re bringing the goods to A2 at 1116 S University Ave.
