Ann Arbor Community News
ArborUpdate.com is a volunteer run news and discussion site for the Ann Arbor community. Articles on the main page are posted by one of our contributors. We aim for a fair voice in our posts, but acknowledge and don’t attempt to hide our individual biases (which largely overlap). Additionally, as volunteers, the writers acknowledge the limits to their knowledge; alternate viewpoints and additional information are welcomed in reader comments to posts – the true value of the site is not in the posts themselves but in the discussion.
Participating in Arbor Update
Any are welcome to participate in the discussion on ArborUpdate, but new “top-level” posts may only be created by the site’s maintainers. If you know of a topic deserving attention, please e-mail

If you are interested in becoming more involved in the site, please let us know. We are constantly in search of writers, photographers, and techies to help with the site, and one of us will be happy to talk to you about what’s needed.
