ZachariahDaMan Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 I am going up to see my grandparents on Monday so I will try to visit Flint and get some pictures of any new development to spark more discussion in this dead forum. I am also visiting one of my favorite little towns, Holly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ka3kab Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Well, I just got back from my little trip to Detroit and in doing so, I just had to get off I-75 and drive through Flint just to see how it was looking. I jumped on 475 and took the Saginaw St. exit and then drove south all the way to downtown. Beecher was looking as always. Nothing new and not so good. But I have to say, it hasn't gotten any worse, so I guess that's good news. Same for Flint from the city limits to the edge of downtown. Nothing new, but still the same. Downtown, however looked pretty good. It was Tuesday and in the afternoon, and to my suprise there was quite a bid of foot traffic, as well as auto traffic. It looked cleaner than I remember and I wish I had my camera to take some pics, but I did not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtown Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 I noticed that, too. Beecher has always looked the same to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZachariahDaMan Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 I was in Flint today to meet my grandparents to eat and hang out. I was with the family so I didn't get to drive around or take photos but I didn't realize that from 69 you could see Genessee Towers and the Mott Foundation Building.

dtown Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Yeah, you can see them top of them. The best view is from the interchange with 475. When you merge from EB 69 onto 475(dont remember which direction) you are elevated above DT, so you get a cool view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolverine Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 What do you all think about Flint in Semi Pro? Lots of good shots of the downtown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachariahDaMan Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 I saw it tonight, some nice shots. I like the one looking down Saginaw St. showing all the larger buildings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustTown Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Does anyone know where this shot was taken from? http://farm1.static.flickr.com/214/5083822...1a799fb.jpg?v=0 Actually, it looks like it may have been taken from some news studio tower.

Ka3kab Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 It does look like the same shot you get from the WJRT tower cam, but on that one, there is a blue banner at the top giving the date and time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeeFan Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 It reminds me of the view you get when driving east on I-69. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustTown Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 I've always wondered, what are the most widely accepted borders of downtown Flint, particularly to the north? I hear the Hotel Durant always described as being downtown, and I guess in the old days as much as the north river side of the river was built up that must have been the case. But, seeing how it stands now, it would seem that the downtown ends at the river. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyChilly Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 I've always considered Fifth Avenue being the northern border, MLK the western border (north of the river) and Grand Traverse (south of the river), I-69 on the south and I-475 on the east. That's just my opinion though; I've never really heard an official answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
