About Ann Arbor

Ann Arbor is centered on theUniversity of Michigan. The U of M campus intermingles with downtown, and the whole area is walkable, though day buses run between the campuses and the central business district. Toyota, General Motors, Ford, Thomson, Google, and Domino's have a major presence in the area. The university is well known for its medical school complex. Farther out, the city fades into urban sprawl (a mall and business parks in the south), then countryside dotted with towns, and to the east,Detroitsuburbs. Bus routes beyond the city limits, except in the direction ofYpsilanti, are lacking; you'll want a car or bike unless you have several hours to spare. On some autumn Saturdays, transport is difficult as 100,000-odd people pour in for university football games. Ann Arbor, orTree to
