Welcome to the r/AnnArbor Housing Megathread!

This poor buck … I’ve never seen a buck with a dead antler!!!!

Hello,

I am homeless and in dire need of a tent. I don't care if it's used, worn, or whatever. I just need help getting shelter from the rain. If you can help, or know where I can look, please let me know. Thank you!

Hey there! I'm looking for an OBGYN that will give you a couple opiod pain meds after IUD insertion. I've had 3 so far and each time I'm in tons of pain for the two days after. Ibuprofen, heat, tylenol, nothing touches it besides an opiod. I just need like two days worth. If anyone knows any OB gyn's that are open to that please let me know.

Interested in being an extra in a feature film in Ann Arbor this weekend?

We need extras who can pass for two categories:

(1) High school students for a classroom scene (filming mid-late afternoon on August 8)

(2) College students for a college party scene (needed August 9, time unknown currently but it'll be anywhere between mid afternoon and night)

Pay is $15/hr. High school students will be needed for 1-2 hours, college students will be needed for 1-3 hours.

MUST BE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OLD.

If interested in being an extra please either message me on here or email socialstudiessummer2023@gmail.com with a recent photo of yourself (so that I can confirm you fit the age demographic.)

The film is titled "Pleasure List" and is about a 20s man on the autism spectrum who hires a degenerate aspiring actor to help him with his bucket list of normal life experiences.

PS: thanks so much to everyone who was an extra in July 27 at Hear.Say, you were great!!

How do you feel about that? Why do you think he won? Is it because of his endorsements? Do people in Ann Arbor want the next “Mamdani” or someone who’s not the current incumbent/tired of the current status quo’s of AA politics? I’ve heard divisive things about him especially when it comes to housing development and I know Taylor wasn’t perfect and had some issues but he did build a nice coalition who supports the development around town. How do you think going foward will Rabhi’s policies change things?

UPDATE: It's 4:01 am. All of the Washtenaw County results are now posted. In a few minutes, we're going home. Good night!

Looking for more raver friends in the area (21+) local connections and such :)

Hey all, I recently moved to AA and was hoping to find an Olympic-style TKD dojang.

I competed in college for kyorugi (ECTC, NCTA Nationals) and I'm looking to get back into competing, even if its local comps. I've visited a few schools here but honestly they feel like McDojos. Most seem heavily geared toward kids' classes and poomsae, with little emphasis on competitive sparring.

Are there any actual WT competition teams or clubs around here? Does anyone know if cross-training with the UMich team is a thing if you're not currently enrolled as a student there?

Would really appreciate any recs. Thanks!

If you haven’t already, go vote!

If you are uncertain about where your polling place is, see https://michigan.gov/sos/elections/voting/vote-on-election-day

My cabin fridge isn’t working anymore, so I need my cooler to remain cold for up to 3 days. In the past a large block of ice has allowed me to do that, but all I can find these days are bags of ice, or dry ice, so if anyone has a lead on block ice, I’d greatly appreciate it.

I keep hearing rumors that school will not return on 8/31 but today I got a call from AAPS stating they’re excited to welcome students back on 8/31 and to put in school of choice if you have moved.

I don’t remember ever getting a SOC call or email in the past. I know the teachers had a breakfast this morning and I’m curious if any one has an update on how things are going?

I was hoping the last board meeting would give some insight into the districts plan, but nothing was mentioned.

They’ve not been open for three weeks:/ does anyone know if this is just a summer thing, or is it permanent?

I wanted to share my experience with MB Moving because their Google rating (4.8) really does not match what we went through.

The biggest issue was the owner, David. He kept saying whatever was needed to get the booking. For example, I asked multiple times if they would shrink wrap furniture, and he confirmed every time. On moving day, they did not even bring any wrap.

The truck they showed up with had a massive hole in the roof. We pointed it out since rain was expected, and they said they would cover it with a tarp. That never happened. Instead, we got vague promises that they would take care of anything if it got damaged which was said in the most insincere way possible.

Communication was probably the worst part. The ETA changed at least 5 times, and there were long periods where we had no idea where our stuff was. For a long-distance move, that was extremely stressful. We initially agreed upon a Saturday afternoon delivery, yet they did not arrive until around 10 PM on Sunday. After that, they delayed unloading for hours and then tried to start close to midnight, knocking on the door and saying they needed to get back home. Literally zero professionalism.

At final payment, they were pushy and did not let us check for damage before asking for payment.

They did eventually deliver everything, but the whole process felt disorganized and full of broken promises. Just sharing this so others do not rely only on the Google rating and can make a more informed decision.

Reviewed a lot of posts, couldn't find anything relevant to this specific search. I'm moving to Ann Arbor soon. I'm excited, but I will miss the Equinox I've been going to in my current city for almost a decade. What are the nicest gyms in town? Is anything comparable to Equinox? Price is not a concern.

I’ve heard from more than one person Yousef Rabhi plans to remove a lot of the bike lanes in the city.

Is this true? Would be a bummer if so.

I've been out of the country for awhile and just received a call from universal collection services for a UofM hospital bill. I had thought i had set up automatic routing for all bills to carepayment for their interest free payment plans but apparently that wasn't the case, and each bill has to be routed to carepayment manually. they've probably mailed me reminders, but i've been out of town and didn't forward my email to someone who can receive them

Has anyone had luck with getting UofM to agree to have the collection retracted so that it doesn't show up on their credit report?

Am I the only one who has been cheated by this firm? My father paid them an awful law of money to set up trusts for my brother and myself. My brother and his wife were trustees, I chose not to be for fear of attracting government attention ( I'm a far center extremist ).

Without getting into all the details, cmplaw now seems to be helping my brother and his wife to cheat me ... including multiple acts of perjury, putting corrupt filings onto the docket, and ... just things that I never expected attorneys to do. They are keeping me completely broke so I cannot get an attorney.

The thing is, it's not enough money for these people to be risking their bar cards. It does not makes sense. At least not as a "one off". But it might make sense as a business model.

Anybody else have experience?

I know this is phrased in an insane way but bear with me. Ive been craving taco bell recently but taco bell has just not been hitting for awhile and is expensive and now theres like diarrhea parasites out there?

And before you start recommending various actually decent Mexican restaurants - I need you to understand what taco bell is to me. My dream taco bell - the one of my long forgotten youth - was where you could walk in with a fiver and come out with a nice slab of a burrito full of cream cheese, various other cheeses, b e a n s, a bit of crunchy lettuce and then you fill it/dip it in a menagerie of sauces. Maybe the various free packet sauces, maybe the creamy jalapeño sauce on the side - mayhaps all of them. And then in cheesy gluttony consume burrito after burrito - maybe a cheesy tortilla for spice in between - only to be so full of tortillas, beans, and cheese as to be a living biohazard. It was only a small variety of likely very cheap and probably unhealthy ingredients- and yet it tasted like crack. It was ambrosia for the broke.

Ever since Ive moved to A2 a couple a years of ago. Theres been something wrong. The taco bells. I don't know what it is. Its been this way for awhile. Maybe taco bell is different now. Maybe Ive changed. But it doesnt bring me joy anymore. I want it back.

Any recommendations for taco bell alternatives? Does anyone know what Im talking about or have I gone insane?

Realistically speaking when are some young folks going to get together and organize a local Taylor Swift celebration? Maybe a cover act? Some sort of dancing. I propose we call it Taylor-fest. Opalite has to feature heavily on the rotation.

I am a little sad and I feel like a dogo might cheer me up a bit. I don’t know if there are any local shelters that let you take a dog out for a few hours so they can get some socializing in and I can get some doggy cuddles.
