A suicide submarine parade. Ann Arbor's top 10 astronauts. Shakey Jake, The Embassy Hotel and stories of trains crashing into buildings. The birth of Iggy Pop. Punching Nazis. The day the dictator came to town. The music mobile, the naked mile and a brief history of poop. Plus a few tales of murder, because it happens here too. These are a few of the 41 stories that make up the book of Ann Arbor.
