Ypsilanti Gears Up For A Unique New Music Venue

Ypsilanti is known mainly for being home to Eastern Michigan University's Infamous Ypsilanti Water Tower, which reminds you of something phallic. The City boasts two downtowns, museums, and the home of Elvis Fest,

A music venue where paying customers can consume cannabis in Ypsilanti Township would be the first of its kind in the state.

The venue will be called "Pipeline," and the wizard behind the idea is Mike Ludtke, who also owns Inside 20 After 4 smoke shop in Ypsilanti.

The outdoor amphitheater can hold 650 people. A new concept is a concert venue that will also be a consumption venue.

The idea from Mike Ludtke has been a painstaking 3-year process in the making. As a fellow musician, Mike had always had the idea of putting a concert venue and consumption together for years.

A nice plot of land was acquired: a 4-acre zoned industrial parcel off I-94 next to the water treatment plant in Ypsilanti Township. One area will be the outdoor venue, which will hold up to 650 patrons, and another indoor venue for another 200 plus.

The planning commission signed off. So, in reality, they could break ground at any time, but they hope to start sometime this month.

Conveniently located near Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, it will make for a great venue for everyone. Also, it is not too close to the neighbors, so maybe the music can be turned up a bit.

Years of hard work went into the planning stages of this new venture, including three years' worth of sound studies, erosion studies, and other construction hurdles that had to be figured out.

"DJs, electronic music, the local Detroit rap scene, and more are coming hopefully by next Summer.
