Daewoo Comes to Jane Avenue

Something tells me this is a resourceful use of a billboard by a Jane Avenue resident and not an example of guerrilla marketing by Daewoo.

  1. That's absolutely the most perfect tag line for this photo Gordon! Now you've got me wondering what else you caught a glimpse of on your last visit.

  2. I have to say, Dave, that this was one of the most unexpected things I've seen in Flint in a while.

  3. My grandparents lived on Jane....475 now runs over where their beautiful old home stood.

  4. I used to play at the 475 construction site with my pals from St. Mary's, probably near your grandparents house. That highway and the other highway projects needlessly took out a lot of homes and many memories, in my opinion.

  5. There is a block on Jane St. where there are no houses.

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.
