  1. Makes me long for some Birch Beer from the Soda Pop Shoppe or some MS Lime Soda.

  2. I could go for a Black Raspberry Faygo right about now.

  3. I smiled when I saw this. When I was in Flint in August, I took a very similar photo. It was of "Michigan's Favorite Assembly Line" - one producing Red Pop. The word "Line" in my photo is obscured by the little Caesar on top of the Balenger Hwy Little Caesar's.

  4. Here's a link to the other Faygo billboard I see every time I go down to visit family:

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.
