Graced by the Huron River with an abundance of parks, Ann Arbor offers
residents and visitors entertainment, sports, shopping, dining, and of
course, the University of Michigan. Legendary Locals of Ann Arbor
celebrates its citizens. Some of those who make up Ann Arbor are
creative artists, inspiring educators, dedicated public servants, and
determined business owners. With the exception of Lewis the cat, who
reigned at Downtown Home and Garden, this book is filled with stories
about people who have made and are making Ann Arbor one of the best
places to live in the United States. Within its pages lie the stories of
who chose maize and blue as the University of Michigan's colors; who was
the first Ann Arborite to race in the Indy 500; and who sold Tom
Monaghan, founder of Domino's, his first pizzeria. Inside are
photographs and descriptions of the legendary people of the past and the
present, as well as those who are on their way to becoming the legends
of the future.
