Now that I know about the Golden Leaf and know that there are others interested, I'll keep on the lookout for the Golden Leaf to show up in family photos. My mother worked there at some time during her teen years, but I only visited Flint from Detroit for family get-togthers but if I come across any pics that are identified as being at the Golden Leaf, I'll share them here.Trey Greenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16142385403939779402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244123422713926575.post-53336114999920976132008-10-16T07:52:00.000-07:002008-10-16T07:52:00.000-07:00Her response might not be that polite, redgirl.Her response might not be that polite, redgirl.Gordon Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17911010126952753812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244123422713926575.post-61516892068637300632008-10-15T21:25:00.000-07:002008-10-15T21:25:00.000-07:00You've put your mother on a deadline??!!

This really amazes me that all those famous artists came to Flint! It makes me sick about that racist concert times though.The only time I went to the IMA was when I was taken to the circus or to see ELO when I was about 17 years old, circa 1976 I think.<BR/>RoadsideDinerLover (CARA)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244123422713926575.post-58274978002573398702008-10-13T17:18:00.000-07:002008-10-13T17:18:00.000-07:00You are doing some great reporting on here about F...You are doing some great reporting on here about Flint.<BR/> This is a story that should be a feature in the Flint Journal.

It may have had an RC or old Pepsi sign. Anyways, I went by there once in the late 80s / early 90s and it seemed to be semi operational. Next time I went to check it out the entire block had been torn down.Würstside Warlørdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06089329692743823805noreply@blogger.com
