Michigan Radio: Ann Arbor News closes after 174 years

Laughter turned to sadness - mixed with spells of goofiness and relief - as Ann Arbor News employees put out their final edition this morning.

After 174 years of publication, the News' final edition is due on the streets this afternoon. The city's new media company, AnnArbor.com, launches by morning.

For the many employees ending their News careers today, the morning saw both the usual routine and some memorable moments.

Coming off the heels of my first Ann Arbor City Council meeting, I'll say this: Getting my first taste of A2 politics Monday night was an interesting experience.

During the course of five hours, I heard an earful about what makes Ann Arbor residents tick. I was encouraged to see dozens of people in attendance, and even more impressed when such a large percentage took the podium to speak.

Of the many who spoke on the controversial City Place development, the award for most creativity goes to Libby Hunter, a retired music teacher, who serenaded the Council with an original song called "Developer's March," sung to the tune of "The Battle Hymn of The Republic."

I joined AnnArbor.com last week as the new University of Michigan reporter - and now I need your help.

I'm working on a story about the renovation and history of Stockwell Hall. The dorm was constructed in 1940 and named after Madelon Louisa Stockwell, the first woman admitted to U-M in 1870.

After all these years, the dorm is going co-ed this fall, at the same time it unveils renovations and infrastructure upgrades. I'd like to put together a photo slideshow of Stockwell dorm life through the decades, and I need help from Stockwell's former residents.

If you lived at Stockwell and would like to share photos, please e-mail them in jpeg form to me at julianakeeping@annarbor.com. And please include a little info on the photo and when it was taken.
