Is it just me or is the Alfred P. Sloan Museum one of the most fantastically weird treasure troves of historical bric-a-brac in the country? I'd forgotten how great this place really is until I visited it this summer after a 33 year hiatus. They were testing the sound system during my visit, so I took it all in with "Smile Like You Mean It" by The Killers inexplicably blaring away in the background, which somehow seemed appropriate. Maybe that could be Flint's unofficial theme song.
The Sloan is one of the few museums in the country that honors America's Revolutionary War zombies.
If you own a tank manufactured by G.M., you can park it wherever the hell you want.

The Sloan's wax dummy collection is strangely lifelike.
