With the advent of pleasant weather, Ann Arbor became ufcummer ' s Story and layout by Jessica Hermenitt Good friends and beautiful, clear weather were the key ingredients to perfect summer nights in Ann Arbor. Students eagerly welcomed the pleasant sum- mer evenings especially after enduring a harsh Ann Arbor winter. During the summer, Ann Arbor businesses spread into the street featuring outdoor seating at most cafes and restaurants. Patio space, however, was limited, and it often became a challenge to find a place that had outside seating available. Alison Latham, LSA senior and psychology major said, We went to the bars, especially Goodtime Charley ' s and the One Eyed Moose because there were outdoor patios. It was a perfect summer night atmosphere. Eric Krause, night manager of Goodtime Charley ' s said, For us, business increases [in the summer] because we have our outdoor cafe. Despite the absence of many students, Ann Ar- bor night life still thrived. I ' m really glad I stayed this year. There is so much energy here. The crowd is younger, it ' s more exciting and there are more things to do, said Jamie Weitzel, LSA sophomore. Area parks were a great place to spend summer evenings. Students took advantage of both Gallup Park and Nichols Arboretum for picnics, canoeing and nature walks. The smell of hamburgers and hot dogs filled the streets of Ann Arbor as grills were fired up to barbe- cue. Memorial Day and the Fourth of July inspired these cookouts that often led into a night accompanied by drinking and partying. Outdoor concerts pulled Ann Arbor students to Pine Knob for music by artists such as, Jimmy Buffet, Hootie and the Blowfish, and the Dave Matthews Band. Jeffrey Miller, LSA junior and economics major said, Most bands are better live than on com- pact disc so driving to Pine Knob was well worth it. Plus, we don ' t get good weather that often in Michi- gan, and we enjoyed the combination of g ood music and nice weather. 66 + Summer Nights Nujfit Dr
