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.

ReplyDeleteyeah, that's true. come to think of it, I've never seen a fat hummingbird either. Maybe we're onto something here, a kind of inverted South Beach diet thing...
ReplyDeleteI have some photographs of the inside of a grocery store in flint in the 70's. I would love to post them here. How can I do that? The photos show the cashier and my mom shopping.
