Be glad there is no "real news" as you put it.

Abe, after the very serious events in the news the past few weeks, here locally and abroad, a street crime story with some light hearted quips is just fine.

Apparently he heard about the million dollar plus sale of the building and assumed the cash was in the cash register.

Yuck - she's a "sweat" person? Probably from working near a grill every day.

She is not mean! She is awesome. She's actually a really sweat person. Look, if you can't read the myriad of signs that tell you how to order, you deserve to get yelled out. Besides, it's part of the ambiance. I can tell that losing your (blimp) virginity didn't go so well =)

It's the Christmas season, when many people are out of town and many businesses are closed. It's winter, when a lot of people with drug and or psychological problems are cold on the streets.

No doubt a fairly typical lashing out by an addict, still going through some stage of denial about the upcoming closing. Seek counseling.

Attempted burger theft, big brawl at Weber's, armed standoff on the North side. Cool it, Ann Arbor. It's Christmas, not game day at the Big House! Come to Ypsi and chill at the Corner Brewery, for goodness sake!

Hopefully it wasn't because he was yelled at while ordering food.
