Flint Postcards: Just to let you know I am alive but far from happy



"Just to let you know I am alive but far from happy."

Postcard of original Hurley Hospital, postmarked March 28 1916.
This could be Flint's unofficial motto.

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.
