Students discuss judiciary procedures, public comments on banning Wendy’s PARNIA MAZHAR Daily Staff Reporter
University of Michigan Central Student Government met Tuesday to discuss banning Wendy’s on campus, new CSG appointments and adjustments to the judicial branch nomination process. Early in the meeting, Rackham student Kim Daley spoke about blocking Wendy’s, the fast food chain, from campus. She said the first food workers in the U.S. were slaves, and even today, slavery still occurs on farms. Many farmers signed onto the Fair Food Program to better labor conditions. Several multibillion dollar companies have
pledged to improve conditions, but Wendy’s still has not joined the petition. Daley encouraged members of CSG to take action against the presence of Wendy’s at the University. CSG did not respond to Daley’s concerns at the meeting but said they focus on it at a later date. “You all have a lot of power and you are listened to,” Daley said. “You can block Wendy’s from coming to campus.” Following the graduation of the previous vice chair of the Ethics Committee, CSG voted to elect Public Policy senior Drea Somers to fill the position.

of deported local family Photo exhibit examines family’s experience with U. S. immigration system CALLIE TEITELBAUM Daily Staff Reporter
Photojournalist Rachel Woolf’s exhibit “Deported: An American Division,” which examines the impact of immigration policy on a local family, opened Tuesday at Weill Hall. Woolf’s photography depicts Lourdes Salazar Bautista and her family’s deportation from the United States to Mexico in 2017. The images capture the days before Bautista’s deportation hearing in Detroit and images of the family in Toluca, Mexico after their forced return. Woolf won the Art Works Projects’ 2018 Emerging Lens Mentorship Program competition, which allowed her to put together her exhibition. Art Works Projects focuses on educating the public about human rights and social justice issues through visual art. Woolf met Bautista through a friend during Bautista’s campaign to stay in the United States. Bautista was searching for someone to tell her story of fighting deportation, and Woolf, a photojournalist, met with her to photograph her experience. Woolf remained in touch with Bautista after she left the U.S. and visited her in Mexico. See DEPORTED, Page 3A

Jim Brady’s opens second location serving up a ‘high quality’ local menu BEN ROSENFELD Daily Staff Reporter
Last month, local businessman Tom Brady Jr., along with his associate Darin Dingham opened up an Ann Arbor location of Jim Brady’s after nearly a year’s worth of development and planning. This is the second location opened by the two since 2015, when the first Jim Brady’s opened its doors to the public in Royal Oak, Mich. The restaurant served its first meal on December 10. According to Brady, the vibrant culture of the Ann Arbor community was a key factor in the choice to branch out into the area. “Ann Arbor, to us, is incredibly exciting,” Brady said. “It’s just such a dynamic market in terms of the people that live there, in terms of the culture, the art and the music.” Although the interior was only completed within the last year, the structure of the restaurant dates back to 1861. The restaurant is located in the heart of downtown Ann Arbor, close to the intersection of South Main and Liberty streets. In planning the interior of the restaurant, Brady hoped to capture the energy of the restaurant upon which Jim Brady’s was modeled — Diamond Jim Brady’s. The well-known Detroit restaurant and bar opened more than six decades ago by

Brady’s grandfather. Located in downtown Detroit, the restaurant quickly gained popularity and became known for casual food and high-end atmosphere. Brady recalled the origins of his grandfather’s restaurant and its success throughout the ’50s and ’60s, up until its relocation to Novi in 1990 where it still stands today. “He had this idea, to take this little corner bar and make it really upscale,” Brady said. “He had really amazing burgers, the chili became legendary. For that style of bar, that really wasn’t what was going on at the
time.” Business sophomore Alais Murillo explained the decades of success of the original restaurant in Detroit could bode well for the future of Jim Brady’s in Ann Arbor. “We have such a diverse group of consumers as a college town,” Murillo explained. “If you’re successful in a big city like Detroit, that will likely transfer to Ann Arbor as well.” During the year-long process of development, Brady and Dingman worked hard to emulate the atmosphere of the iconic Detroit restaurant, hiring the architecture firm
Rossetti and Associates and principal interior designer Kelly Deines to help recreate the 1950s feel. “It’s really a legendary Detroit firm, it’s been in Detroit since the 1940s,” Brady said. “They really helped us — starting in Royal Oak and then in Ann Arbor — realize what that whole visual experience was like.” Scott Behler, an Ann Arbor native who now serves as the general manager of the Ann Arbor location, noted the work that went into finding the See RESTAURANT, Page 3A
