Driving Around Flint, Michigan in 4k Video
Filmed on Tuesday, July 4 2023, I drive around Flint, MI to see what's going on.
In 1819, Jacob Smith, a fur trader, founded a trading post at the Grand Traverse of the river which was then called "Pawanunking" by the local tribe, or "River of Flint".
As the ideal stopover on the overland route between Detroit and Saginaw, Flint grew into a small but prosperous village and incorporated in 1855.
In the latter half of the 19th century, Flint became a center of the Michigan lumber industry. Revenue from lumber funded the establishment of a local carriage-making industry.

Downtown Flint, Michigan Tour!
❤️ In This Video: Here's a video from my final days in Flint, Michigan. I decided to take you all on a tour of my hometown and show you some spots that have memories near and dear to my heart! Flint isn't all bad and remember that you can make a change anywhere with what you spread! There's so many other positive things I didn't mention. There's so many young people opening businesses, starting movements, marching down the road taking a stand, working in government, so much poetry, talent, art right here in this little town. Take a trip down memory lane with me ❤️ #FlintMadeMe

It’s 39 degrees today, rainy and lets go on a driving tour!

Tour of University of Michigan-Flint Campus and Surrounding Area
A sped-up version of a tour of the University of Michigan-Flint campus. This video will hopefully give a glimpse of the campus to prospective students, or just for alumni to reminisce. (Neither myself or my YouTube channel are affiliated with the University of Michigan-Flint.)
The tour does not show my favorite building on campus--the library. There is easy sky walk access to the library from the Murchie Science Building (MSB), French Hall, the University Pavilion, and the University Center (UCEN). There is no sky walk access from Riverfront or the White Building.
I hope you don't mind cheesy '80s music to go along with the video. The song is "Life in a Northern Town" by Dream Academy and seems to be a perfect song in homage to Michigan's harsh winters.
Enjoy your time on campus,...

Filmed on Tuesday, July 4 2023, I drive around Flint, MI to see what's going on.
In 1819, Jacob Smith, a fur trader, founded a trading post at the Grand Traverse of the river which was then called "Pawanunking" by the local tribe, or "River of Flint".
As the ideal stopover on the overland route between Detroit and Saginaw, Flint grew into a small but prosperous village and incorporated in 1855.
In the latter half of the 19th century, Flint became a center of the Michigan lumber industry. Revenue from lumber funded the establishment of a local carriage-making industry. As horse-drawn carriages gave way to the automobiles, Flint then naturally grew into a major player in the nascent auto industry.
In 1904, local entrepreneur William C. Durant was brought in to manage Buick, which became the largest manufacturer of automobiles by 1908. In 1908, Durant founded General Motors (GM), filing incorporation papers in New Jersey, with headquarters in Flint. GM moved its headquarters to Detroit in the mid-1920s.
For the last century, Flint's history has been dominated by both the auto industry and car culture. During the Sit-Down Strike of 1936–1937, the fledgling United Automobile Workers triumphed over General Motors, inaugurating the era of labor unions.
The city was a major contributor of tanks and other war machines during World War II due to its extensive manufacturing facilities. For decades, Flint remained politically significant as a major population center as well as for its importance to the automotive industry.
The city's population peaked in 1960 at almost 200,000, at which time it was the second largest city in the state. The decades of the 1950s and 1960s are seen as the height of Flint's prosperity and influence.
Since the late 1960s through the end of the 20th century, Flint has suffered from a series of crises.
Flint has suffered from disinvestment, deindustrialization, depopulation and urban decay, as well as high rates of crime, unemployment and poverty.
Since it's peak in 1960, Flint as lost more than half it's population.
GM employment in Flint has fallen from a 1978 high of 80,000 to just 700 people today.
The City of Flint as also suffered from mismanagement and a series of financial crises, resulting in the appointment of multiple Emergency City Managers between 2002-2015.
In 2014, during one of Flint's many financial crises, state-appointed emergency manager Darnell Earley changed Flint's water source from the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (sourced from Lake Huron and the Detroit River) to the Flint River.
After the permanent switch to the Flint River, city residents began complaining about the color, taste, and odor of their water. In August and September 2014, city officials detected levels of coliform bacteria, so residents were advised to boil their water.
General Motors (GM) made the first complaint about the corrosivity of the water. GM stopped using Flint water in October 2014, after reporting that the water was corroding car parts. General Motors requested to switch back to the Detroit water source, which was later approved by city officials.
The MDEQ placed Flint on violation notice but did not reveal the information to residents until January 2015. The employees of the Flint Public Library declared the water undrinkable after noticing that it was discolored, despite the city's claim that the water was safe. January and February 2015 tests showed that the city water met all health and safety standards. Nevertheless, Detroit Water offered to reconnect Flint, waiving a $4 million connection fee, but was declined by new Emergency Manager Jerry Ambrose.
In March 2015, Flint voted to switch back to Detroit Water. Ambrose disagreed with the reintroduction of the Detroit water source. Ambrose argued, "Flint water today is safe by all Environmental Protection Agency and Michigan Department of Environmental Quality standards, and the city is working daily to improve its quality." In August 2015, it was found that local organizations observed that high concentrations of chloride caused the water to be orange and that the water contained high levels of lead.
Lead levels tested by the water utility never reached the EPA action level of 15ppb lead during the crisis, however the city did not know the locations of lead service lines, which city officials acknowledged in November 2015.
In September 2015, a team from Virginia Tech found that at least a quarter of households in Flint had levels of lead above the federal level of 15 ppb and that in some homes, lead levels were at 13,200 ppb.
To date, more than 25,000 service lines have been excavated, resulting in the replacement of 9,516 lead pipes.
The Flint Water Crisis led to several lawsuits, the resignation of several officials, and fifteen criminal indictments.

Downtown Flint Mi, check out the sites and hear the facts.
It’s 39 degrees today, rainy and lets go on a driving tour!
Its January 19th, 2023 in Flint, Michigan
Were starting on the east side of down town near the UM parking garage, Flint is a collage town and there are three major higher learning institutions here, we also have Mott Collage and Kettering University.
now you are looking at the Huntington bank weather ball tower, at night you can determine the forecast by the color, red means its getting colder, green for warmer, yellow means it’ll stay the same, blinking and its going to precipitate.
We are approaching Saginaw st. with its famous brick paving. To the left is the University of Michigan Flint Campus, to the right the famous Welcome to Flint Electric Billboard.
We’re driving unto the university area
Throughout downtown and much of flint there are historical markers. Flint was a huge psrt of modern manufacturing and vehicle history. It also has a history of standing up for human rights with the sit in strike at Chevy.
Now we see the Farmers market
The flint farmers market first opened in some capacity in 1905, 109 years later it found its way into its current home which is here at 300 1st st. It’s my personal favorite part of the downtown area, a melting pot of cultures and people, similar to a small Pikes Place Market in Seattle. Today I had chicken and hummus from Baruit, a restaurant that will take you across the world and then picked up some fresh produce. There are a variety of vendors with homemade, eclectic or natural goods. Upstairs has a tap house and the Hurley Clinic which is world famous for discovering the lead issue that the area had in the 2010s.
Across the street is the bus station, inside is pizza and more. The bus can take you anywhere in this city.
Up ahead, the capitol theater which has been part of downtown for nearly 100 years. Built in 1928 to replicate a roman garden and then fully restored in 2017.
Across from here is an area for restaurants and commerce
All through out flint, downtown and otherwise, there is beautiful artwork and statues. Many of these are done through the public art program.
Lets continue driving,
We are coming to the waterfront area.
Now we are in the carriage town area which is the oldest part of the city. The first automobile factory is here, Durant- Dort factory one which is now an archive and a center for research and meetings.
Now we are heading back to Saginaw st. and the bricks. Ahead is the Mott Foundation building. The Mott foundation was started by CS Mott when he permanently granted 1.8 million shares of stock to local philanthropy. It has been and continues to be Flint greatest ally.
On the left, Blackstone’s smokehouse. Which was placed in an old men’s clothing outfitter. We are going under the vehicle city arches which were originally placed in 1905 to honor the city as the world's largest volume manufacturer of horse drawn carriages
This is the flint journal building and the Farris Wheel building. Perhaps the most famous building other that the Mott building, built in the 1920s and renovated in 2017 for 7.5 million.
Flint has several stunning churches,
The bricks we are driving on were originally laid in 1898 and the city is currently undergoing a restoration project to replace them over the next 2 years.
This is the birth place for Flints famous Halo burger and next to it is the mural for Verners ginger ale which is a classic here.
Thanks for visiting Flint with me. Please subscribe and see you next time!
As always!

A sped-up version of a tour of the University of Michigan-Flint campus. This video will hopefully give a glimpse of the campus to prospective students, or just for alumni to reminisce. (Neither myself or my YouTube channel are affiliated with the University of Michigan-Flint.)
The tour does not show my favorite building on campus--the library. There is easy sky walk access to the library from the Murchie Science Building (MSB), French Hall, the University Pavilion, and the University Center (UCEN). There is no sky walk access from Riverfront or the White Building.
I hope you don't mind cheesy '80s music to go along with the video. The song is "Life in a Northern Town" by Dream Academy and seems to be a perfect song in homage to Michigan's harsh winters.
Enjoy your time on campus, prospective students! An education is a beautiful thing. Congratulations on your decision, and keep up the hard work!
