Looking down Nickels Arcade from the State Street end.
Nickels Arcade is a covered shopping district in downtown Ann Arbor, built in 1918. It's a short walk, we'll start on State Street.
A story in the Michigan Daily in 2009 reflects on the turnover in businesses in the arcade.
According to an Mlive article in late July, 2015, a 21 year old genius managed to fall through the glass ceiling to his death.
