Around Tecumseh

Some mornings you are up before the town is. Around Tecumseh the doors open on a staggered schedule, and if you want breakfast, coffee, or a fresh pastry before 9 in the morning the list is shorter than the rest of the day and it changes with the day of the week. This is that […]

Jackson drivers always head east. Try south instead. If you live in Jackson, your default day-out reflex is US-127 to I-94 and then Ann Arbor, where you circle a parking structure for fifteen minutes and pay to walk two blocks. That trip is fine. It is also the trip everybody you know already took last […]

Not “one of the places.” The place. We’ve written about breakfast in Tecumseh as a […]

Here’s a date that doesn’t need a dinner reservation. No bar crawl, no “let’s just get drinks,” no standing around a loud room at 9pm wondering if you’re having fun. This is a daytime plan you can actually finish together, start to end, in one afternoon. Coffee and something warm to split, an hour of […]

You can knock out the whole list on one block. That is the pitch for holiday shopping in downtown Tecumseh, and it holds up. No mall loop. No circling a parking structure four times.
