Dominick’s has the best green pepper pizzas, if that’s something you’re into. Super fresh peppers, and they don’t skimp.

I saw this exquisite map of Michigan today. It just gets weirder the longer you look at it.

Big thanks to @beanders.bsky.social for gifting me Car-Stoppers a zine featuring the bollards of Chicago. Cc: @worldbollardassoc.bsky.social
Cover of car stoppersInner cover: 

CAR-STOPPERS
By Temporary Services
Half Letter Press, 2022
“handful of diagonal streets. Alleys are situated in between most streets. A lot happens in these alleys. Trash is stored in plastic bins provided by the city or private dumpsters. Garages behind homes face outward into alleys. People run informal businesses in those garages like car repair shops. Some people use garages and alleys as social spaces and backyard extensions. People construct party decks on top of garages which also move socializing closer to the alley. People urinate and defecate in alleys. They drink and take drugs in alleys, while others set up security cameras on their garages to discourage these activities.
Alleys are as likely to be where neighbors meet as in front of their houses because many people leave their homes through the garage and alley. In the winter, the city generally does not plow snow that accumulates in alleys (the complaint is that the plows cause snow to pile up in front of garage doors, blocking them so neighbors work together to clear snow themselves. Most alleys are just wide enough for twe cars to carefully pass one another. Careless and impatient driving in alleys threatens garages, drainpipes, utility meters, and other structures. Truck traffic-particularly from garbage trucks, contractors, scrap metal collectors, and utility companies-is another threat. Garages and other structures at the entry points of eac ock-long alley are the most vulnerable. This dynamic has led
ma
homeowners to construct car-stoppers that they place near
the Qu
mers of their garages, or anything else they wish to protect
fros
rant vehicles.
This booklet consists of photos taken in Chicago during roughly four different years: 2006, 2010, 2015, and 2022 (with the exception of one recent photo from Fort Wayne, IN on page 26 in the lower right corner). The design of these structures has evolved little in this period, therefore indicating dates for each photo doesn't seem necessary. Though these photos were taken primarily on the west and northwest

The Ypsilanti Water Tower is 40' in diameter. The Kline's lot is ~120' by 420'. You could fit 30 Ypsilanti Water Towers on the Kline's Lot. #a2Council

My father-in-law is a builder. He is insanely gifted. We were looking at the Ypsilanti Water Tower together yesterday and I asked him what it would cost to build it today. I will never forget his answer… “We can’t, we don’t know how to do it.”

This is a deep cut, but I would combine Benzonia and Beulah into Benzie City. It is wild to have two municipalities with a combined population under 1000 sharing a border.
