“God cares about Flint,” she said. “He has a plan for the city of Flint and that’s to give it hope.”

Really… and how would she know? Based on factual evidence, “God” must not have given a fuck about Flint for the last 30 years. And NOW he’s interested in granting a little hope? Bastard.

Flint sucks. Let’s all get together and DO something… like PRAY about it.

Seems to me that if you are healthy enough to canvas for 5.5 hours a day and have that kind of time on your hands, you could certainly do something more constructive to help Flint.

Flint, the year my husband was born there.

Something that desperately needed to be said, as someone who grew up with Bill Harris and Joel Feick on the television, bringing us the news. I was fortunate to have worked under Bleicher’s son, Matt at Tucows. All of them, class acts. Sorry to see this happening in an area that NEEDS and relies upon first class news broadcasts.

And they kept all the pretty young women, btw…

Shitty comparison.

Sick of seeing pics of the downfall of Detroit’s industrial buildings. We get it already. BTW, the author was wrong about there not being any other business except what grew up around Ford’s factory. Flint Michigan is also known as “Carriage Town” for a reason… guess what they built there before the auto industry? Think about all the business that grew from access to waterways around that area. They grew up in Detroit but they do it a disservice by posting pictures of the worst parts and not giving credit to the good. You can just leave that to Johnny Knoxville of Jackass fame, right?

So this is what accounts for news these days in Flint, Michigan….

David Byrne visits Detroit and lives to tell about it. Just joking. Hey, I’m from Flint. Detroit has nothing on us.
