Very unusual, CMU is a university in the middle of the lower peninsula. Central Michigan University. In Mt. Pleasant.
There are no real cities nearby. The university is heavily middle-class. The only other real economic activity in the city I know of is a big indian casino east of town.
Weather is pretty bad there now. This is huge news locally, I am sure.
Weather is clear and sunny, no snow, but cold. I’m 6 miles from the CMU campus.
First thing I thought of was that it is likely a casino-related thing.
The weather was gorgeous today. Just FYI.
