ANN ARBOR – 2020 is history.
It will no doubt go down as one of the most unusual years in our city’s - and our country’s - history. Never content to simply be along for the ride, Ann Arbor has taken on every issue that the year presented in its own unique way.
From the eerily quiet streets that characterized the early peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in March and April to the fever pitch of a tumultuous election year, from the isolation of self-quarantine to the vibrant culture that emerged again as we learned new ways to connect through the year, Ann Arbor’s story was written in moments big and small.
