    A great historic spot with unique shops and beautiful architecture. Great for a quick stroll and local finds!

    Nickels Arcade is a unique spot in Ann Arbor that's fun to check out at least once. It's a covered shopping alley with several different shops and businesses including Bon Bon Bon, a delightful bon bon shop based in Detroit. There's also the Caravan Shop for gifts, a print shop, a coffee shop, and at least one barbershop. The alley was built in 1918 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. It's not a place I need to go every time I'm in Ann Arbor, but it's definitely worth it to check out Bon Bon Bon - yum! It's easy to miss as you walk around the area so just look for the Nickels Arcade sign on the State Street side.

    Fun place to hangout!

    The post office: Sorry, but I've had mediocre experiences with the service…read more For one, they lost TWO packages that I mailed from there via media mail. TWO PACKAGES. The first one disappeared, and then the envelope came back torn, dirty and EMPTY (minus the book that I had mailed) about a month later. The second one is still missing (along with the pricey book inside). When I called to ask about both books, they were unhelpful and apathetic and basically said there was nothing they could do about it. I've had to refund the money from both of the textbooks I sold, which was pretty upsetting. So, if you ever mail ANYTHING from here, make sure you get delivery confirmation and/or insurance. Secondly, the lines are super-long most of the time, and you will need to find your wrapping/packaging materials and do all the packaging yourself before you get up to the counter. Also, if you don't buy priority packaging, they don't have any tape that you can use, and the guy at the counter gave me a little speech about it when I tried to use some of the "Priority" tape.. So, I would advise doing all packaging before you come here - and bring your own tape. To be fair, it's a busy place, and the two women who work there generally tried to be helpful to me. Still, if I wasn't a captive audience, I would try to go somewhere else where they didn't lose my packages.

    The Ann Arbor News Online reports that this small campus-area mall will be undergoing rennovations…read moreand upgrading. It's about time! Except the Post Office space at the back, the whole building has been deteriorating for years. Sometimes they don't even bother to turn the lights on. The only reason I'm in there is to mail something or buy stamps. The News article reports that "the building owners will invest at least $250,000 to upgrade the building" -- I wonder if this will be enough to make it decent. It's always appeared to me that they could take some advantage of the open space outside the back adjacent to the parking structure. Doesn't sound as if they've thought of this.
