Hot air in Lake Fenton


Before there were beige-colored McMansions on Lake Fenton, there were cottages and, on occassion, hot-air ballons courtesy of Capt. Phogg, who's still in business. Mary Fisher took this shot in 1980.

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.
