Flint Photos: Bassett Place


It appears the scrappers have finally descended on my childhood home on Bassett Place in Flint's historic Civic Park neighborhood.

  1. Sorry. My home on Hamilton still has the original siding which is not aluminum. Maybe thats why is still looks so good.

  2. After looking at the photo I think FPD should be on the lookout for a midget.

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.
