In Ann Arbor, Michigan, home of the University of Michigan, almost 20,000 homes and businesses lost power. Nathan Pietryga, manager of the long-standing college hangout Pizza Bob’s, counted himself one of the lucky ones.Classes at the university weren’t canceled, but students were advised to use discretion. Pietryga indicated he expected to sell some pizza. “We’ve been here forever, the kids will come in,” he said.
