Little luxuries in Vehicle City
-
5/1/2007
Although the economy is declining rapidly and only the bad side of Flint is seen on tv shows like CNN and Crimestoppers, Vehicle City does have a few nice things to offer residents and visitors . The Flint Farmers Market on Robert T. Longway is a hidden treasure, as well as the Flint Institute of Arts. There is the Whiting Auditorium and many other art museums and coffee shops in the area. Flint offers dancing on Dort Highway, with the Machine Shop inviting such famous Michigan people as Kid Rock, and many other respected rock musicians with return venues. There is Lakisha Jones, Flint's latest talent from the famed American Idol show, which proves one thing about Flint, we are not lacking in culture, intelligence, and talent. So while CNN is busy slamming the residents of Flint with negative news reports, we continue to breed culture and intelligence in spite of a failing economy. Flint has a lot of positive to offer. It's not Hollywood, but it's where we live, and we do the best with it that we can. Obviously, we have a lot of talent and ingenuity and drive to survive. Adversity creates character,and the residents of Flint have a lot of both. We also have a lot of beautiful lakes to visit. This is something you don't see on the national news.
