Flint Photos: Two Men, a Woman, and a Large Cat


Okay, this is allegedly a photo taken at the Buick factory. Anyone have any info on this oddity? If not, feel free to wildly speculate. Possibly something related to the Buick Wildcat? Or perhaps just the typical hijinks after a three-martini lunch?

Note: No animals were harmed in the creation of this post.

Without even realizing it, Flint Expatriates has suddenly turned into the Nature Channel.

We've got retired race horses, cats, smelt, tigers, carp, birds, dogs and white stallions.

The Cats of Dayton Street

BJ has left a new comment on your post "Memories of Civic Park and Sears Kit Houses":

"Rereading this older post reminded me of a cute childhood memory about the Dayton and Dupont St. A&P. They had a great fresh fish counter in 1956 that puts our modern grocery stores to shame. This was before freezing everything was popular so every Saturday afternoon before closing they would reduce that week's leftover Great Lake smelt to 10 cents/pound. By today's cost even the fresh price must have been awesome but I don't remember it. They packaged them in amounts too large for immediate use so my mom allowed me to throw several to a few neighborhood cats along Dayton St. No one had inside cats in 1957, so it didn't take too many Saturday's until the cats caught on and brought all their friends. My mom and I usually led a parade of screaming cats down Dayton St. to our house every Saturday afternoon."
