			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On a recent day trip to Ann Arbor, Michigan, we fully expected to soak in the local culture of this famed college town. In addition to having a great assortment of book stores (and the largest Borders store I&#8217;ve ever seen), the locals seem to look the other way on graffiti artists and would-be creative types. But we had heard there was a completely different culture available in this liberal corner of the Midwest.</p>

<p><img class="alignright" alt="Close-up of above door" src="http://www.inkmuse.com/blog/zimages/lori-door-close.jpg" width="225" height="384" />Apparently a small society of fairies has decided that Ann Arbor is a nice place to live, and so have settled in among the big people. A great mystery surrounds when they first appeared, and although no one is talking, I suspect whoever knows the truth is sworn to secrecy by some wee-big folks accord. And although I can&#8217;t share pictures of the actual cuties (maybe after a few beers&#8230;), I can provide the evidence of their domiciles we snapped while strolling the streets. Even though we were following a map, when we discovered each door there was always a bit of a surprise at their dimunitive stature. I&#8217;ll hush now and let you enjoy these images, but if you want to find out more about the fairy doors of Ann Arbor, <a href="http://urban-fairies.com/">go here</a>, <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5393277">NPR&#8217;s  coverage</a>, and The Washington Post&#8217;s <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/04/21/AR2006042100588.html">article</a>.</p>
