Well, Ypsilantians, you've done it again. 2018 was an epic year for your Instagram feed, and we're honored and grateful that you used #ypsireal to share your shots with us! We sure do have plenty to share - art, natural beauty, tasty eats, interesting people... it's all here in Ypsilanti. Here's a roundup of a few of our favorite instas this year.

Instagram user @ypscity shared this awesome photo of an Ypsi-inspired custom shoe. We'd love to have a pair of these!

 

We love @chattillion's artist photos. This one features an awesome restaurant in the background (Ollie Food + Spirits!) and an awesome dude cruising through Depot Town

 

No roundup of #ypsireal photos would be complete without one featuring Cultivate Coffee + Taphouse. This one is courtesy of always-awesome @coffeeannarbor. 

 

We love this photo from @daisy.roux.mitten.adventures... and this mighty girl's power pose in front of The Rocket!

 

When autumn hits at Eastern Michigan University's campus, you're sure to see gorgeous scenes like this one - captured by @jwkev1n. 

 

Frog Island Park's community garden space is quintessentially #ypsireal. @shankwiler shot this photo there earlier this year. 

 

 

Ford Lake is pretty magical at sunset. Check out this awesome snap from @sue.parks.906:

 

Depot Town is often-photographed, for good reason! We like this shot of Cross Street from @supremebrougham.

 

The Ladies Library in Ypsilanti is one of the most recognizable buildings in town. Thanks to @thatkayce for sharing this photo!

 

Looking to find something silly, weird, amazing, quirky, and downright FUN? Unicorn Feed & Supply has you covered - you might even run into a rainbow alpaca while you're there! Thanks to @the.tattedkat for sharing this photo.

 

The Bomber is known for its comfort food and tasty cooking - and the famous Captain Crunch French Toast is always a hit. @timo_tech shared this photo of his scrumptious breakfast. 

 

Art is everywhere in #ypsireal. We adore this artistic photo taken in Frog Island Park by @vaguethesage. 

 

Live music, artist shows, and more - it's all at Ziggy's on Michigan Avenue! Thanks to @voxpopart_n_design for sharing this photo.

 

Think the Farmer's Market is just for veggies? Think again. This stunning bouquet appeared in @xoemilybaker's feed after she picked up these blooms at the market. 

 

We can't wait to see more photos from you, taken in #ypsireal. Tag us, use our hashtag - you know the drill! Thanks, Ypsilanti!
