Ypsilanti - a wonderful place to live, work and raise a family. As long as you only leave your house in daylight hours.

Bet they didn't get much cash. The only business I know of open that late on that particular corner is Deja Vu...but I could be wrong.

You are correct DJM, the Vu is the only establishment open in that neck of the woods. These type of night time business people will prey on anyone who is unaware of their surroundings. Thats why the Right To Bear Arms is so important. I will bust a cap in dat ### if the moment arrises. That is if I feel a ligitimate threat.

Pub 13 is open late at least the dance side whatever that is called. But chances are 4 guys together... Maybe they were at Liquid Swordz also.

@glimmertwin...because armed robberies never happen in Ann Arbor. Oh, wait, was that an armed robbery at a bank on Thursday in Ann Arbor? Never mind.
