Stores like Bach \u0026amp; Abel's and Dean \u0026amp; Co. served local needs as the village grew into a small town. As the town became a thriving city, Drake's and Maude's fed generations of hungry diners, and Fiegel's clothed father and son alike. Residents passed their time seeing movies at the Majestic or watching parades go down Main Street. Join authors Patti F. Smith and Britain Woodman on a tour of the city's past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patricia F.

Smith is the author of Downtown Ann Arbor and A History of the People's Food Co-op Ann Arbor. She has written for CraftBeer.com, West Suburban Living, Concentrate, Mittenbrew, The Ann, AADL's Pulp blog and the Ann Arbor Observer. A frequent public speaker around town, Patti curated HERsay (an all-woman variety show) and Grown Folks Reading (story time for grownups) and tells stories at Ignite, Nerd Nite, Tellabration and Telling Tales Out of School. She is a commissioner for the Public Art Commission and the Recreation Advisory Commission, a teacher of history for Rec \u0026amp; Ed and a storyteller in the Ann Arbor Storytellers' Guild. Britain Woodman lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan. A fascination with how the same brands and concepts fit into different communities led him to document them, first in in photographs and then in long-form writing. This writing led to speaking and, ultimately, to authoring this volume with Ann Arbor's preeminent living historian, Patti F. Smith. Ideally, he would be out visiting every city's beloved, vanishing places, but working on this book was cool too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"History Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45092394893427,"sku":"9781467140256","price":21.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_5b50afed-dc6d-433c-a947-88ae245a0001.jpg?v=1781199756","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/vanishing-ann-arbor-9781467140256","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
