Google renews lease for downtown Ann Arbor office in McKinley Towne Centre

The colorful Google sign won't be moving from downtown Ann Arbor for another five years, according to an article published today in Crain's Detroit Business.
The publication is quoting a Google spokesman as saying the search-engine giant renewed its deal for 80,000 square feet in McKinley Towne Centre on South Division.
Workers clean the Google sign last April. It's located on the South Division Street side of McKinley Towne Centre in downtown Ann Arbor

So, A2.com cribs their stories on local events of companies from other news source? Ok, I understand if the story was from the AP or Reuters. But, why aren't local reporters getting the scope?

This fantasy about Google hiring 250 people in Ann Arbor is a bunch of you-know-what. I spoke to people working closely with HR and they said those "new" hires are transfers from California.

I think that would correctly be termed "Midtown", since that's what somebody renamed the corner of Liberty & Division. Maybe next they'll just call it "Googletown".
