Flint Postcards: Flint Cultural Center


 Just wondering if this sculpture is still with us? Is it a Flint survivor?

    It’s long gone as is the Sid Atkinson sculpture. That was next to it.

    Sid was the big dawg of Flint metal sculptors. He also did the big red metal things on Ballenger /Miller and Welch/Greenway.as well as his master work “Little/Big”

    Cool dude, he lived on Begole or Coleman real close to Ballenger.

  2. Smurfz, your use of diacritical marks is a work of art as well.

    Thanks, but whatever you do don’t call me the “Joe Mihalic of Font Foolery”

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.
