    I have a friend of mine that I work with you is from Flint. Graduated from Michigan and got into the TV industry. Last time I was out there, he said he bought a house back in Flint. Showed me pics and it was amazing. Old Victorian, must of had 5 bd/4bth/4000sf.......... told me he got it for $85,000! Said his and one other house are only houses on his street..... everything else is burnt to the ground or abandoned.

    He overpaid. I bought my house in '99 for $105K. Better houses in my neighborhood are now going for $30K or less. And this is a good neighborhood! Hardly any of the gunshot incidents lead to fatalities. There's a historic neighborhood near downtown called "Carriage Town" with beautiful Victorian houses that you can get for $10K.

    I did see Roger and Me shortly before I applied for many jobs, one of which was in Flint. "Ha ha" I said, "wouldn't it be funny if that was the job we got?"

    Turns out it wasn't funny.

    (And no, I've never met the bunny lady. However, I have seen Michael Moore: his sister-in-law ran my kid's Montessori school and he showed up for art night one year.)

    There are some AMAZING houses. Houses with multicolored slate roofs, every stone of which was imported from Italy. But most of them are empty, their owners living down in Florida.

    Greg Kite, Brad Lohause, Danny Ainge, Bird, McHale, Paxson, Sichting (before he was traded to Portland), Mark Acres, Fred Roberts. Holy shit thats a lot of white guys.
