I inquired about the connection as well, but could only find this article.

The movie is very good though.<br /><br />I did notice a Flint metaphor, especially when Sardine World was going to open. But unless Flint, MI decides to become a restaurant town, the buck stops there. :)grumkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834121792263687217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244123422713926575.post-88160968256785217452009-09-24T14:17:49.220-07:002009-09-24T14:17:49.220-07:00This book originally came out in 1978 I believe an...This book originally came out in 1978 I believe and my kids loved it. I still have their hard cover copy stuck away with the Mr. Men and Berenstain Bears books. The story line could refer to many other cities over the decades with similar problems. The steel industry, textiles, chocolate manufacturing. It's a great book for kids, grand kids and the adults reading it. I forgot-kids don't read anymore. So add print industries to this too.Jan Schollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15774293019956518597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244123422713926575.post-38753303172839228292009-09-24T10:15:32.541-07:002009-09-24T10:15:32.541-07:00Thanks JWilly.
