I live in Grand Blanc, work in Flint nearly everyday, and going into Flint for dinner on a weeknight or weekend night has not crossed my mind one time. Sage Brush is great. Drive to Fenton. Or De Eduardos in Grand Blanc. Also many hotels in Grand Blanc. Get your ass out of the Holiday Inn Express and drive south.

No argument except for the character part. It will build depression or death. Or both.
And you are exactly what is wrong with America, people like you are the main reason places like downtown Flint can't rebound because people won't even give it a chance. Quit being so closed minded and scared
.
Sack up and go experience a good meal downtown, Cork, 501, Torch, and Blackstones are great places to eat and drink.
If you don't have the balls to do it at night, go down town for lunch one day. You will not be disappointed.

Sorry but Flint is horrible. It's one of the most depressed areas in the nation. I doubt people like pacingjim are the reason. I'm guessing it's more the crime, unemployment and poverty. Unless pacingjim is a member of The Dayton Family, then....yeah it's his fault. Flinttown!

Okay, so I have been on self-imposed Walverine exile sice Saturday, but needed to make a public service announcement. I drove up Dort Highway to get to my baseball game this evening. Haven't taken this route in 15 years. Scarier than south side Chicago or most of Detroit. Knew it was bad. Not this bad. Desolate. Ghost town. That is all.

You are a pussy. A first class pussy at that. Flint is run down and desolate, yes. But it's not "scarier" than parts of Detroit and Chicago. Plus, Dort isn't even the worst part or Flint. I've been in much worse closer to downtown or on the north side.
And yes, Flint is one of the shittiest cities in America. But as someone that has been in many, many, many ghettoes in America (don't ask - I do real estate site selection for an "urban retailer" so I have to travel to these areas,) it is hardly the worst.
Honestly, Detroit kind of takes the cake as far as I'm concerned. Jackson MS, Birmingham AL, Memphis, NOLA, an Pine Bluff AR are all very close behind.

Sad. From what my parents tell me (and I have no idea if this is true and am too lazy too google) in the 1950's Flint had one of the highest per capita incomes of any city in America.
The the late 70's hit and it has been downhill from there. Where Buick City once stood is mile after mile of concrete pads left over after the plants were demolished. Like an atomic bomb went off or something.
Flint Coney Dogs are still the best, though.

In 1970, General Motors employed 85,000 people in the Flint area. Even before 2008-2009, I think the number was below 12,000 jobs. It was literally a company town and when the largest corporation in the world began to erode, Flint felt the greatest impact from that decline.
