Flint Photos: Flint Judo Club on Davison Road near Iowa in 1969

Thanks to Uko Oshima for this 1969 photo of his father's judo club shortly after it moved from 2nd Avenue and Saginaw street to the corner of Davison and Iowa on the East Side.

    Hell yeah, that is just about as "Flint" as it gets.

  2. Wow! That's a terrific photo. I've been inside that building a time or two back in the middle 90s. I wonder if it is still in business. It reminds me that there are so many other great hidden photo gems of Flint which only a handful of people have ever seen and that have yet to be rediscovered, scanned and posted for a larger audience. I'd like to see an annual installment of Guess-where-in-Flint-this-photo-was-taken collection.

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.
