Sightseeing

This is my house. It's historically registered and a very long term project for me to restore. I'd be happy to talk your ear off about Victorian homes, its history and DIY home repair.

Neighborhoods

In Flint this about the only walk-able area, everything else is just residential neighborhoods and on campus an the schools. We call it the Island, boxed in by Grand Traverse, 475, 5th ave and 69. Inside of that zone there has been millions of dollars of reinvestment and development. There are a number of shops inside the Capitol threatre, restaurants peppering Saginaw St and a few entertainment venues. It's easy to get an Uber or bus in this area, most attractions are closed up by midnight with a few bars remaining open. It's well patrolled by police and a safe space to be. Once the construction is complete next to the rental here it will be very populated all along the walking route.
