<p>^^^Too commie. But since you asked:</p>

<p>The thing about student housing co-ops is that in both Ann Arbor and Berkeley, they really date back to the 1930s and an older generation of socialist lefties. They certainly enjoyed a resurgence in the 1960s and 70s, but they survived in the interim and continue to this day because they’re so practical, a way to get reduced room and board costs by pitching in a few hours of work per week on cleaning, maintenance, and communal meals. And governance issues, which draws you into the socialist thing.</p>

<p>Ah, yes, the Hash Bash. Dates back to 1972. Ann Arbor’s annual outdoor springtime celebration of cannabis. I guess I always thought that was organized and held together by potheads, some of them probably hippies, others mildly activist students with a taste for a cannabis high. So a kind of crossover there, but it relied on a broader constituency of people who were neither hippies nor all-out student radicals, but simply enjoyed the weed. Still a bit out of the mainstream, I’ll admit.</p>

<p>Not sure about the Village Corner reference. Back in my day it was just a handy corner market on South U, some convenience food items, beer and wine. Rolling papers, I guess. Am I missing something?</p>
<p>“Am I missing something?”</p>
<p>Bagel Fragel? ;-)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>OK, I’m really dating myself here, but back in my day it was known as The Bagel Factory, and it was on South U next to VC. Of course I miss it. </p>
<p>I also miss Steve’s Lunch, cattywampus from the Bagel Factory, with great “cheesy omelets” for breakfast and great Korean food for lunch and dinner, all for a surprisingly few bucks. I used to stop in there more or less once a day in the summer while driving cab in Ann Arbor. Mr. Lee was a great guy. Ah, those were the days. Not sure what that’s got to do with hippies or radicals, though.</p>
<p>“Not sure what that’s got to do with hippies or radicals, though.”</p>
<p>Not a thing. It was just located next to the VC. :-)</p>
<p>Two pages of posts and no one’s mentioned Middle Earth where you bought your paraphenalia? Or the cinnamon buns at Drake’s to address that peculiar sweet tooth? Or so I’ve heard…</p>
<p>Go Blue '76</p>
<p>(I know that Drake’s is gone. Too sad.)</p>
<p>I would never admit to purchasing paraphernalia. But I know what you’re talking about, ChoatieMom. I understand people also bought a lot of incense at Middle Earth. The residence hall corridors always smelled of incense, coming from locked rooms. Now why on earth would they need all that incense in a dorm room, for gosh sakes?</p>
<p>I thought everyone went to the Jug for late night munchies–er, snacks.</p>
<p>^^^In East Quad, the Half A$$ was the place… And incense was just to cover that musty dorm smell, of course.</p>
<p>Ah, yes, the musty dorm smell. That’s it. How could I have forgotten?</p>
<p>I would say cal</p>
