2024 World Junior Summer Showcase: Who stood out on Day 2
We’re now two days into the World Junior Summer Showcase in Plymouth, Michigan, and both American teams have a perfect 2-0 record. Modnay’s first game started off with USA Blue getting off to a dominant 4-0 start. It was starting to look eerily similar to their game against the Swedes on Sunday, when they took home the 7-2 victory. But the Finns fought back, making it 5-3 before the final whistle, with all their goals coming in the second half.
Misfit Society Coffee Club
The most recent addition to Ann Arbor’s coffee scene, Misfit immediately stands out with its profanity-laden advertising and its neon “caffeine plug” sign. Inside, it lives up to this rebellious image: If there’s one thing you absolutely can’t criticize Misfit for, it’s inconsistency.

The cigarette & the city
I will be honest: I am more focused on the moment the cigarette stub is lowered down, its astringent aftermemory still lingering in the gums, because, as it happens, he has been caught living somewhere else. For the past five minutes, his mind has been honed on the auburn, embered end of his smoke, the same fire as his anthropological prehistory; it’s our interactions with fire that detail human development, after all, and the smoke from the cigarette spins away, dances its waltz in the air, swirling cyclones at the wave of a hand. It has not forgotten its own viscerality. But he stuffs the butt down some drainage ditch, in the ashtray on his porch or in his pocket. He steps away from the secluded corner or alleyway he found himself in, away from existing as those nooks existed, away from their stillness, and reenters the world again.
