Getting around Ann Arbor

Ann Arbor is a beautiful place, especially around the end of May. Here are some random suggestions to wind down after, or before, a long day of great talks.
  • A very nice place to go for a walk is the Nichols Arboretum. The closest entrance from Campus is located at Geddes Ave and indicated on the above map.
  • The Michigan Theater is a historic movie theater with a interesting lineup of movies. Worth a visit for both, the film and the location.
