Some of the more than 500 new private homes occupied in the Ypsilanti township portion are shown as well as part of the 106 new houses constructed in the Superior township section of the Village.

The scarred land remains after the "temporary" rental units are cleared away and until new housing is constructed. This view looks northeast, with Holmes Rd. in the upper right corner.

BEES TIME - The day's news came to the newspaper Wednesday afternoon when a swarm of bees took up temporary residence on the headlights of an Ann Arbor News truck. The sight attracted numerous spectators to the E. Washington Street side of The News' parking lot but all but one onlooker stayed a good distance away. The only person who got a close-up view was Fred Dittmer, a professional beekeeper, who was summoned to the scene to remove the bees. Dittmer, of 181 Scio Church Road, had little trouble coaxing the swarm into a hive and says he doesn't mind being stung a couple times a year. He says it helps with his arthritis.

The tattered eight-year-old welcome sign located off the I-94 expressway may be making its exit soon. Ypsilanti Area Jaycees can no longer maintain it because a new state law stipulates that a sign of its size must be maintained by a municipality. So, Jaycees offered to donate it to Ypsilanti City and Township, but officials from both municipalities indicate they're not interested. The sign now faces condemnation by the state.

NO EXIT, NO ENTRY -- Padlocking a door is a violation of fire safety rules, but the door above left has been chained and padlocked because its frame is ready to break away from the brick walls. On the other side of the same door, above right, is a rickety, unrailed staircase.
