This is as you are coming in from the east. They've actually been remodelling this place fairly recently.

This is the Ypsilanti City Hall. It was originally built as a bank in 1887 and became city hall in the 1970's. It used to have an ugly facade that looked so 70's. They finally tore the facade down in the 90's.

This is a good overview of downtown Ypsilanti (I used photo-stitch, so pardon for the mismatchs).

This is the Eastern Michigan University College of Business. It was built in 1990 and is separate from the main campus of Eastern Michigan (which is about 5 blocks away). Eastern Michigan itself was formed in 1849.

US-12 used to be the main route between Detroit and Chicago, hence the name.
