Fairfield Village tour

[dnast]

Here's my tour of Fairfield Village in Flint. It's located across the street from Mott Community College. I don't know much about the neighborhood except that it's somewhat historic and has lovely homes. It's located just east of downtown.

Here's a map:

Here are the pics:

Such beautiful homes! Haha, I remember that dead-end street when I was driving through there last year.

Great tour, Dnast! I have driven through the area many times, but I don't have many photos. I see that I'm not the only one who has gotten out to take photos in the nice sunny weather we've been having lately.

Excellent tour Dnast ! My tia Becca live in that neighborhood, she live in a tudor style house.

Thanks everyone. I've been through there many times, but was never brave enough to do much picture taking. For some reason it seemed like somebody was gonna get mad and call the cops or something, lol.

I guess it's just your typical urban photographer paranoia.

I know how that is. Whenever I take photos of people's houses I always get the feeling that people are going to come out & get mad at me for taking a photo of their house. It has happened to me several times before.

I love those houses! I'm not sure if her parents still live there, but my friend Rachel grew up in the houses by the Pierce Golf Course.

I hope it's not a house, but the one that looks like a box and has the two box garages looks like it was designed by Mies van der Rohe...ugh. lol

[dnast]

Yes, that's a house as far as I can tell. It's tucked in right between two other houses, so I assume it's one. I was so shocked the first time I saw it, I almost slammed on my brakes to get a better look at it.

I posted a little bit about this at Skyscraperspage also, but this is the van der Rohe Chapel that the house reminds me of.

Great pics. I don't think I've ever seen neighborhood pics of Flint before.
