Flint blight
I have some non running vehicles in my driveway. My neighbor said they would report me for blight. I'm not trying to create blight. I do see why the vehicles could be upsetting however. As as I know I'm not doing anything illegal or at least attempting to, but they did make me wonder if I'll get in trouble with the city.
Can anyone ID this church?
Old family pics of a parade, does anyone recognize the building? We believe Flint area, maybe Burton, or……?
Pics taken in 1967!
Why?
Why would someone report my Nostalgia Food post. Calling me a bot. Makes no sense. Oh its a repeat post? Well I've never seen it and from the looks of it sounded like Flint didn't have real food in the school system. Make it make sense

Nostalgia food
Hi, I'm not from Flint but have lived here for the past 5 years. I was wondering if there is a food that used to be served in school that you wish you could have again. Where I grew up, we had this thing called a Pittsburger. It was basically a baked sloppy Joe. Did Flint have anything like that? If so, I would love to try to make it.

Parents arrested after 7 year old's death
41 year old Damien O'Brien and 40 year old Jessica O'Brien Flint Township, Michigan, have been charged with second-degree murder, child abuse, and torture following the tragic death of their 7-year-old son, Casper.Emergency services responded to a 911 call regarding a child in medical distress on November 4, 2025. Casper was rushed to Hurley Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.Standing at 4 feet, 2 inches tall, Casper weighed 255 pounds at the time of his death he was five more for a child his age. Authorities reported that he had become entirely immobile. The autopsy determined Casper died from dilated cardiomyopathy a condition leads to heart failure with morbid obesity listed as a major contributing factor.Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton revealed that Casper and his 5-year-old sister essentially did not exist in the eyes of the government. They were never enrolled in school, and Child Protective Services (CPS) had no record of them. Casper had never seen a pediatrician and had reportedly only been taken to a doctor once in his entire life.Investigators described the family home as a severe hoarding environment. When police arrived, they found the 5-year-old sister outside naked, dirty, and suffering from severe physical neglect; she has since been removed from the home by CPS.Prosecutors emphasized that the neglect was willful, noting that the father maintained steady employment as a cloud engineer and the family had health insurance. In a detail highlighted by the prosecution, the parents had even called a veterinarian to treat the family dog on the morning of Casper's death, despite failing to seek medical care for their son.The O'Briens are currently being held without bond at the Genesee County Jail. They face a maximum penalty of life in prison if convicted. The next scheduled court date is a probable cause conference on July 2, 2026.
Bait shops
Are there any places around here for boat for fishing? I usually go to Baitmasters off carpenter road, but I’m looking for other options
I’m really desperate for a job and no one will hire me
Hi, I am 22 yrs old and I have been looking for a job since I quit my job in custodial in April of last year. I go into places that say they are hiring, ask for the hiring manager and talk to them, then they are so quick to shoo me out the door and say they aren’t hiring when they have pretty large signs that say “WE’RE HIRING!” or that they have “open interviews“. They usually don’t have any of those things. I honestly don’t know why people don’t want to hire me. I am really eager to work. I work well with adults, kids are too overstimulating so I can’t work with them. I really enjoy cleaning and custodial work but no one will hire me there either. I have dyed hair, but I can honestly just buy a wig & wear that to work. I am also on the bigger side and people usually look me up & down and judge me but I starve myself everyday, the extra weight is because my body is in a constant state of fight or flight to due to extreme child abuse. I genuinely enjoy working and like having something to do so I’m not constantly in my head. I have applied for entry level jobs: retail, fast food, pizza etc. I have even applied for jobs I am not qualified for. They expect you to have more experience, but how am I supposed to gain experience when no one is hiring? This is so irritating and I am beginning to think there’s something wrong with me. Shitty part is, my girlfriends area has so many job openings but she lives over an hour away and I want something that is within walking distance because I can’t afford my own car right now. Is anyone else struggling w/ this?
The Events of Roger and Me (1989) Were Apparently Okay Because At Least People in Mexico Got Poorly Paid Jobs?
An overpaid economist professor man wagesplains to the Roger and Me (1989) sympathizers:
“First of all, the compassionate feelings of Michael Moore and other public crusaders evidently extend only to U.S. workers. The fact that G.M. created jobs for Mexican workers and improved their earnings potential is considered only in a negative light. G.M.’s recent decision to build an assembly plant in Hungary would probably also be attacked by these same humanitarians. It is ironic that compassion is often constrained by nationalistic fervor while the forces of free markets work against such discrimination.”

flint dentists and their obsession with invisalign
look i get it invisalign is profitable or whatever. but why does every dentist in this town act like my slightly crooked bottom tooth is a medical emergency?
went to a place near downtown last month for a cleaning. sat down opened my mouth and before the hygienist even started scraping she was like have you ever considered straightening your teeth? ma'am i am here because my gums hurt when i floss. i dont care about my bottom tooth its been like that since 1999
then the dentist comes in and does the same thing. pulls up this simulation on an ipad showing what my smile could look like. i felt like i was at a car dealership. want a regular dentist. someone who looks at my xrays and says hey this filling is cracked or you need to floss more and then lets me leave.
anyone got a normal dentist in flint? or is this just how it is here now
Any job misdemeanor friendly
I have 2 disorderly person misdemeanors from about 4 years ago (I've been going to therapy and cleaned up my act)
I've been denied from walmart,sams,even dollar general ect just for the fact I have the dp misdemeanors
I'd love to do something like lawn or construction work (I don't have actual professional experience, although)
But honestly, I'm willing to do anything, even temporary work
I'd appreciate any leads or advice!
