It was pretty delightful & the staff were super friendly and interacting with the animals. The CC was started 20 years ago with Al the Alligator! He was dropped off at the Vet clinic and they started CC all around him. Pretty awesome. It's not a massive space so it was perfect to get there at 3:30pm - in time for the 4pm show which is followed by an Al the Alligator feeding! We checked out all the habitats on the outside as well. Super cool experience - I'd love to come back for one of their turtle yoga, 18+ paint nights, etc. They always have pretty cool themed programming. Also follow their social media - they post the best content!

When I was a recipient, I was told to treat the shelter as if it were my own home, and yes, we did have to do a very minor chore, however, with all these people do for you, and do not charge you, that is the least you can do. With helping with court, counseling, paperwork, and a plethora of things it would have taken you twice as long and a lot of money, I can't even imagine giving a bad review. Also, they kept me safe while I was in there. Consider what it takes to run this place. Please be grateful that this place is there for us. Myself, and a lot of people I talk to share my thoughts. It's unbelieveable how many people have been helped by this place.

I volunteered one Saturday morning when they were doing their monthly Food Distribution at Mitchell Elem. School for various families in the area who signed up to receive groceries.

Ann Arbor is lucky to be home to some amazing non-profits, but I'd say that the Neutral Zone is…read moreamong my very favorite NPOs. They consistently provide programming for teenagers that makes me think "Man! I wish someone around me had something like that when I was a teen." This is especially true when it comes to their awesome "Youth-Owned Records" -- one of the first youth-operated record labels in the country! Who knows, my guitar skills could be a lot better, maybe I would have stepped into a music studio before the age of 19, maybe my poetry skills would've been sharper pre-college, and I bet I would have formed a lot of awesome relationships with other teenagers as well as some of the staff. From what I can tell, the NZ always seems to hire staff who really know what's going on and are caring and committed as they are cool. I was thrilled a few years back to hear about the NZ getting their new home. One of the big benefits of this new location is the amount of space. The B-Side, a large open space that doubles as a music and event venue, is a great thing for them to have. Even though I'm faaar beyond my teenage years, I've been to multiple great all-ages shows here, as well as a few other events (including the recent inaugural Ignite: Ann Arbor). I think people overlook how great this space is -- it's lovely, flexible, open, and I'd encourage anyone looking for a meeting or event space to check into it. Can't hurt to expose more people to the NZ and their great work while having a cool spot for your event, right?

You will not regret it.

I like this Salvation Army location for several reasons. It is easily accessed from the roadway…read morewith an easy exit also. Caution should be the watchword during games and other golf events taking place nearby as the traffic increases tremendously. The place is kept neat and clean. The staff and management work together to provide an orderly shopping experience. As with most Salvation Army locations the dishes and such things are color coded as are the clothing. It is pretty to look at all by itself. They have a great selection of clothing in good condition at reasonable priced. The last time we were there we got a very nice round kitchen table. We enjoy it very much. Their art is interesting and they have a BIG book selection for all ages. They have unique pricing rules, however, if something doesn't have a full tag on it or it doesn't have a tag at all and you like it you can't get it for 24 hours. All merchandise in that state, the signs say, have to remain in the store for 24 hours with a tag on them. That doesn't go for items that are being put out with tags on them. Only items that have partial or lost tags. The drink machines dispense cold drinks but could be stocked a little more. They only had orange when we were there last which was fine with me.

I learned about ECIR from a friend and I instantly fell in love with the place. It not only checked these parameters but was super convenient in terms of location (important criteria during brutal Michigan winters). It is walking distance from the business school, the school of education and the school of public policy. Further, it is barely couple of blocks away from the frat house, pubs/ bars and restaurants where most parties happen (yet not at all noisy!) I live in a 2 bedroom apartment which is clean, spacious and well-furnished with latest equipments in the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and living room. Besides, there is always Stoney (the go to guy) to help you with anything you may need. In terms of the community, ECIR is awesome! I have made some great life long friends (outside my business school) from around the world over numerous meals, activities and games like Mafia. People here are non fussy, down to earth and very friendly. Festivals such as Chinese New Year, Graduation Prom, International Fair and Diwali are celebrated here. Also, I love the community meals that happen every week where you get to taste amazing international cuisines made by fellow residents (Yes, free food!). Jessica & team do a wonderful job of taking care of not only your daily needs but also organizing various fun events. (We are all Jessie Lovers here!). Finally, this year Munger was clearly the hype but I decided to not follow the blind trend as ECIR is way more than just a community living. It takes a lot for any large building to be anything like ECIR, given the kind of people it attracts, the cute little personal community it is and various diverse events and activities it hosts for its residents and international students while also being an awesome housing. I love ECIR, it is indeed the best thing that happened to me after Ross here. I would highly recommend to people considering living around Tappan, State, Packard, Hill, Church, Brown or Main St.
