This news is a relief. However, I still have such heartache over driving past the stadium in August and seeing the wreckers in action. Words cannot express. So much of it was gone then; I can only imagine what tiny portion is left now. I mean, really, did the city need another vacant lot? Pretty much destitute, it actually set aside money to pay the wreckers!
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.
