KAFKA Continued from page 1E the sky gets that awful pink color when it's supposed to be black - a signal that Detroit has some effect on our city - but overall Ann Arbor's air is relatively clean. Traffic isn't bad, grass and trees are plentiful, and camping and hiking can be found less than 20 minutes away. Yet Ann Arbor is more than sub- urbia, U.S.A. Poetry readings, dance performances, plays, bands, nation- ally renown speakers and "artsy" movies are all a regular part of Ann Arbor life - not to mention a never- ending list of special festivals and other note-worthy occasions such as the Film Festival, Art Fair, Blues and Jazz Festival, and of course, Hash Bash. Ann Arbor has an impressive assortment of book stores, which is apparently appreciated since the city boasts the highest per capita book sales in the nation. New authors are constantly stopping by for book-sign- ing and readings, plus Ann Arbor hosts a slew of artists of its own. Then there's food. Speaking as a great eater, I can attest to the fact that Ann Arbor offers a plethora of di- verse and delicious cuisine. Area res- taurants serve almost every type of food imaginable, with an abundance of bar and grills and a surprising num- ber of superb Korean and Middle Eastern spots. And as for competing with New York City, there are some delis here that not only serve authen- tic NYC-style food, they have New York City prices as well. The coffee- shops, which seem to grow exponen- tially, offer good brew and preten- tious conversation, if so desired. The music scene isn't amazing, but a lot of up-and-coming bands in- clude Ann Arbor in their tours, and there're a variety of clubs in which to house them. Athletics affect this city as well. Not only do many residents cheer on Detroit teams, but the University it- self provides terrific spirit that spreads throughout Ann Arbor. The crowd that lines the streets on football Satur- days and after Final Four games speakO for themselves, and quite loudly. Overall, Ann Arbor has a slightly cosmopolitan feel. The University's foreign students and faculty expand the city's horizons, and people flock here from all over the country be- cause of its reputation as a progres- sive and safe city. So that's why I don't think the comment about New York City was. so off. No, Ann Arbor isn't perfect, but it's a pretty great place to live, and besides, New York City is hundreds of miles away. - I
