Thanks for commenting. I moderate comments, so it may take a while for your comment to appear. You might enjoy my book about Flint called "Teardown: Memoir of a Vanishing City," a Michigan Notable Book for 2014 and a finalist for the 33rd Annual Northern California Book Award for Creative NonFiction. Filmmaker Michael Moore described Teardown as "a brilliant chronicle of the Mad Maxization of a once-great American city." More information about Teardown is available at www.teardownbook.com.

Is the top postcard of the YWCA located on Ann Arbor Street? If so, one of my first jobs was Project Coordinator of a program called Magic Me and we went to that building when it was a nursing home.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice seeing the postcard.
I'm not sure on the top postcard. Anyhone else have info in its location?
ReplyDeleteI believe Sylvia is thinking of the Stockton Mansion on Ann Arbor street. If memory serves -- the old YWCA was downtown on East First Street.
ReplyDeleteLove this site, by the way, but am too "tubes deficient" to figure out how to have a screen name.
My great great grandparents lived in the house in the 1920s. It is the former home of Oren Stone in Flint.
