Academy Town

I really enjoy running the Quill and Saber Tavern in an academy town like Ann Arbor. In general, I love living in this academy town. It has such a nice mixture of folk, both town and gown, that keep the neighborhood vibrant.

I love the geography of this town, how the academy buildings are interspersed among the shops owned by local merchants, artisans, and shopkeepers. I love the travelers who pass through the town, especially the minstrel shows and the troubadours who give performances at Hill Auditorium. The open spaces are beautiful, especially the Diag in front of the academy's main library and the arboretum at the edge of town.

I also love all the booksellers and printers in this town. They run some great shops. As proud as I am of my little tavern, I also enjoy visiting many of the others to enjoy the food and drink. In the near future I would like to start drawing a map so others may find them as well, both the booksellers and the taverns. Until then, you're welcome to stay here. There's plenty of ale to last.
