Illinois Avenue: A Tale of Two Houses

My grandparents' former home on the 1500 block of Illinois Avenue is still beating the odds and looking good on Flint's troubled East Side. Only three owners in its history and none was a speculator or a slumlord.

I can't say the same for the house across the street.

Home Away From Home

With all the decay and destruction on the East Side, I always prepare myself for the worst whenever I drive by my grandparent's old house, where my mom was raised and I spent a lot of time, on Illinois Avenue. And I continue to be amazed when I see how good it still looks on each visit. The current owners are always nice to me when I knock on the door, and I'm hoping they never move. Having been back to Flint half a dozen times over the last three years, I'm past the point of getting upset when my memories collide with Flint's current reality, but it's still great to run across a house or building that means something to you and discover that it's still close to the way you remember it.
