Automotive history

Ypsilanti has played an important role in the automobile industry. From 1920-1922, Apex Motors produced the "ACE" car. It was in Ypsilanti that Preston Tucker (whose family owned the Ypsilanti Machine Tool Company) designed and built the prototypes for his Tucker Torpedo car. Tucker's story was related in the film Tucker: The Man and His Dream, directed by Francis Ford Coppola. In 1945, Henry J. Kaiser and Joseph W. Frazer bought Ypsilanti's Willow Run B-24 Liberator bomber plant and started to make Kaiser and Frazer model cars in 1947. The last Kaiser car made in Ypsilanti rolled off the assembly line in 1953, when the company merged with Willys-Overland and moved production to Toledo, Ohio. General Motors purchased the Kaiser Frazer plant, and converted it into its Hydramatic Division (now called its Powertrain division), beginning production in November 1953. Ypsilanti is also the location of the last Hudson automobile dealership. Today, the former dealership is the site of the Ypsilanti Automotive Heritage Museum. The museum is the home to an original Fabulous Hudson Hornet race car, which inspired the character "Doc Hudson" in the recent animated film Cars developed by Pixar.

Culture

Comparable to the gentrification causing many artists, poets, musicians, and hipsters to flee the Lower East Side of Manhattan in New York City to areas like Bushwick, nearby Ann Arbor has experienced massive increases in land value and taxes over the last several decades. Despite Ann Arbor's reputation in the region as a bohemian cultural center, many creative people have been driven out of the city to Ypsilanti due to these changes, and it has been said that Ypsilanti is the Brooklyn to Ann Arbor's Manhattan.[5] A vibrant, underground arts scene has begun to emerge as a result.[6] This community gathers semiannually at the juried Shadow Art Fair held at The Corner Brewery. Since 1979, the city has become known for summer festivals in the part of the city called "Depot Town," which is adjacent to Riverside Park and Frog Island Park. Festivals include the annual Heritage Festival, the Elvis Festival, the Orphan Car Festival, the Michigan Brewers Guild Summer Beer Festival, and a Latino festival. Overlooking Riverside Park is the non-profit Riverside Arts Center. Established in 1994 through the efforts of the Ypsilanti Downtown Development Authority and several public spirited citizens, the Riverside boasts a 115 seat black box theater, a sizeable art gallery and some meeting rooms and offices. In 2006 the adjacent DTE building was renovated with "Cool Cities" money and is in the process of being incorporated into the center's activities. Fay Kleinman, the internationally recognized painter, moved to Ypsilanti in the late 1980s with her husband, the pianist Emanuel Levenson. They wanted to be near Kleinman's children in nearby Ann Arbor. Since then, Kleinman has had many exhibits in Southeast Michigan, while continuing to exhibit in larger U.S. cities and abroad. The Ypsilanti District Library purchased one of her paintings, which hangs near the entrance to the children's reading room. The East Ann Arbor Health and Geriatrics Center, which serves Ypsilanti, purchased another of her paintings for its lobby. Domino's Pizza was founded in Ypsilanti in 1960, delivering to students at Eastern Michigan University, although the corporate offices are now located nearby in Ann Arbor Township.

The award provides for an economic development consultant to assist Ypsilanti in developing a growth and job creation strategy for the downtown area.[3]

History

Originally a trading post established in 1809 by Gabriel Godfroy, a French-Canadian fur trader from Montreal, a permanent settlement was established on the east side of the Huron River in 1823 by Major Thomas Woodruff. It was incorporated into the Territory of Michigan as the village Woodruff's Grove. A separate community a short distance away on the west side of the river was established in 1825 under the name "Ypsilanti", after Demetrius Ypsilanti, a hero in the Greek War of Independence. Woodruff's Grove changed its name to Ypsilanti in 1829, and the two communities eventually merged. A bust of Demetrius Ypsilanti stands between a Greek and a US flag at the base of the landmark Ypsilanti Water Tower. * 1809 - Trading post established by French-Canadian Gabriel Godfroy from Montreal * 1823 - Woodruff's Grove platted * April 21, 1825 - Plat recorded under the name Ypsilanti * 1827 - Ypsilanti Township organized * June 19, 1832 - Village of Ypsilanti incorporated * 1849 - Eastern Michigan University founded as Michigan State Normal School * February 4, 1858 - Village of Ypsilanti reincorporated as a city * 1890 - Michigan's first Interurban, the Ypsi-Ann, begins service * 1967-1969 - Ypsilanti resident John Norman Collins is suspected of being the perpetrator of the Michigan murders, a series of murders of coeds at the University of Michigan and Eastern Michigan University.

Local media

Ypsilanti is served by daily newspapers from Ann Arbor and Detroit. Ypsilanti once had its own daily newspaper, the Ypsilanti Press, but that paper closed in the early 1990s. Upon closing, the Press sold its masthead, archives and subscriber list to the Ann Arbor News, which then began publishing an Ypsilanti edition. At present, a weekly newspaper, the Ypsilanti Courier, is published every Thursday by Heritage Newspapers from their Belleville, MI offices. Local radio stations located in the area include: * WEMU (89.1 FM), which broadcasts jazz and blues music and NPR news from Eastern Michigan University * WQBR (610 AM carrier-current and University Cable Channel 10), EMU's student-run radio station * WDEO (990 AM), a Catholic religious radio station targeting the Detroit area * WSDS (1480 AM), licensed to nearby Salem and a former longtime country-music station, now broadcasts Spanish-language popular music as "La Explosiva" and has studios in Ypsilanti. * WAAM (1600 AM), a Talk and News station serving Washtenaw County.

Nicknames

Ypsilanti is often shortened to "Ypsi" in spoken conversation. Because a large number of residents have migrated from Appalachia, certain neighborhoods (particularly on the east side, near the Willow Run auto plant), are sometimes called "Ypsitucky." Some locals find this label a term of disparagement, while others take pride in their Kentucky heritage.[7] Harriet Arnow's book The Dollmaker, which was made into a film starring Jane Fonda, focused on the lives of these "Ypsituckians." In mid-2009, the naming of a music festival in Ypsilanti, the Ypsitucky Jamboree, scheduled for September 2009, caused outrage among some residents, leading to a name change to "The Jamboree." This follows an episode last year when the name of a dinner in honour of Harriette Arnow, The Ypsitucky Supper, was changed following similar outrage among certain types of resident.[8]

Political history

In the early 1970s, along with neighboring city of Ann Arbor, the citizens reduced the penalty for simple possession of marijuana to $5 with the campaign slogan "5 is fine" (the Ypsilanti Marijuana Initiative; see also the Human Rights Party). This fine was raised in the early 1980s to $25 in both Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor.[citation needed] In 1979, Faz Husain was elected to the Ypsilanti city council, the first Muslim and the first native of India to win elected office in Michigan. In the 1990s Ypsilanti became the first city in Michigan to pass a living wage ordinance. In the late 1990s, the city adopted an ordinance to ban discrimination in housing, employment and public accommodation on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity/transgender status, body weight (i.e., being obese or underweight). Two ballot measures to repeal the ordinance were led and bankrolled by conservatives, including Tom Monaghan. Both measures failed, the second by a larger percentage than the first.[citation needed]
