This wonderful poster depicts the beautiful city of Ann Arbor, Michigan. Printed in 1986, it is a great piece of local history, as it depicts the city prior to many of the newer buildings constructed in the 1990s and more recently. It would make a great gift to a University of Michigan alumni!

Measures 17" x 26".

The Ann Arbor News was a newspaper serving Washtenaw and Livingston counties in Michigan. Published in Ann Arbor, under various names from 1835 to 2009, The News was part of Booth Newspapers, owned by Advance Publications Inc. The News was published in the afternoons Monday through Friday and in the mornings on weekends and holidays. It published special sections throughout the year.

The newspaper ended its 174-year print run on July 23, 2009. The publisher blamed the loss of classified advertising revenue (which moved to Craigslist), and noted "the seven-day-a-week print model just is not sustainable [in Ann Arbor, which has] very low home ownership. The population is transient and young. Those demographics have worked against us."

The Ann Arbor News has been replaced by a Web site, AnnArbor.com, which carries daily news stories and is accompanied by print editions on Thursdays and Sundays. Of the 272 people employed as of the announcement of the paper's closing, "more than a dozen" were hired for AnnArbor.com.

The closure also ended The Livingston Community News, a low-cost weekly newspaper for Livingston County published by the Ann Arbor News.

The company closed the Ann Arbor Business Review at the same time and moved the weekly publication under the brand of AnnArbor.com. Several employees of Ann Arbor Business Review were hired by the new company.

The Ann Arbor News is believed to be the first daily newspaper to fail in an American city with only one newspaper.
