Krazy Jim’s Blimpy Burger reopens in Ann Arbor

After closing earlier this year for renovations following a change of ownership, historic Krazy Jim’s Blimpy Burger is back for daily service. An Ann Arbor staple since 1953, the new owners are four locals who say they want to keep the charm of the place, and plan to continue serving the signature burgers, onion rings and other short-order favorites. What will be different is extended operating hours, a forthcoming mobile app for online ordering and Mothfire Brewing Co. Beer on tap. “Our goal is to protect everything that makes Blimpy Burger special while creating opportunities for it to thrive for another 70 years,” said owner Noah Kaplan in a press release. He took over the business from the Magner family after proprietor Richard Magner died in 2025. Kaplan now owns Blimpy with Ethan Kaplan, Pete Levin and Doug Botsford. The new owners say Blimpy's will still employ the "famously particular ordering process" — fast-paced and with a no-nonsense attitude from the staff — under their leadership. They'll also keep the bear mascot and have thoughtfully restored hand-drawn artwork created by Magner that they will display to honor his memory and his vision for the brand.

CHS Student Poets Share the Stage at Ann Arbor Poetry Night

Azalea VanderElzen reads aloud at Poetry Night in Ann Arbor at the Lydia Mendelsohn Theater. She had spent the weeks prior preparing and revising her work for the event, and was able to perform without any stage fright due to her experience as a performing poet and actress. “I didn’t really have any stage fright, I felt confident,” VanderElzen said. “It hasn’t always been that way, but I think just [from] the amount of exposure I’ve had to being on stage for poetry readings or acting, I’ve become a lot more comfortable performing.”

Revealing Houdini's last trick

Good morning! Few Detroit stories could be more fitting for Halloween than the mystery surrounding the death of Harry Houdini in Detroit's Grace Hospital 100 years ago this weekend. For George Hunter, the assignment was a chance to indulge one of his favorite pursuits: digging into Detroit history. “I was elated when my editor instructed me to write a story commemorating the 100th anniversary of the death of legendary magician Harry Houdini,” George says. “My elation turned to intrigue when I started nosing around.” What he found went well beyond the familiar legends about Houdini’s death. His reporting revealed recently raised questions about Houdini's Detroit death certificate and cites official records and experts, including a former Michigan health department fraud investigator who said there is strong evidence the certificate had been altered. But why? And how? George is a lifelong Metro Detroiter who has covered some of the area's biggest mysteries. And he came away convinced that there are legitimate questions about how and when the famed escape artist died and how it was officially recorded. It’s a fascinating Detroit mystery, and an especially good read for Halloween. Read George Hunter’s story on the mystery surrounding Harry Houdini’s death See
