There are just 16 Days Left Till Kick-off, but we're running a little behind on the Countdown. So with 16 Days Left, you’re gonna get three reasons a day to Love Ann Arbor until we get caught up! So, here's #42 in our continuing Series of 100 Days to Football and 100 Reasons to Love Ann Arbor.

#42 -Middle Earth

The center of the Ann Arbor Hippie universe. Bongs. Che t-shirts. Cherokee Hair Tampons. Air freshener. I got my favorite t-shirt of all time here. I also bought some things I'd rather not admit to, read whatever you want into that, you sick bastards. It's a funny little place that hasn't changed a bit since it opened its door in 1967.  Even in 2008 "they continue to welcome customers and prosecute shoplifters." Just another reason why it's #42 in our Countdown and Reason #42 to Love Ann Arbor.

If you've got suggestions on places you'd like to see, email me with a photo or a description and we'll get your favorite hangouts in the countdown as well. I'll also try to get a link on the sidebar in the coming days that allows you to see all 100 Reasons to Love Ann Arbor.
