Flint Photos: W. 1st Avenue in Carriage Town

  1. Sad to see. I grew up at the corner of W. Second Avenue and Mason street. My grandparents, uncle, great-aunt and great-uncle lived across the street at 407. My old address was 402.

    Sadly, both properties are now vacant lots. I wonder what happened to the houses?

  2. Likely the houses were either demolished or victims of arson. Sadly, that is the reality around here nowadays.

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.
