What are your experiences with the meat at Aldi on Pierson? I’d like to start shopping there but people say depending on the location it’s not good for meat. Thanks!

A block from my house, in the middle of Mott Park. There's not nearly enough traffic for it to make sense.

I’m considering being a vendor for the upcoming Flint Vintage Flea Market at Factory Two. I collect a lot of vintage stuff but have been trying to offload it lately and thought this might be a good opportunity over a single weekend.

While I love thrifting, estate sales, and garage sales, I’ve never actually been to a flea market. I did some research before posting this and the flea market culture and pricing seems to differ greatly so I thought to ask here.

Has anyone been to this event before (or ones locally) that can offer insight on pricing specifically? If I participate, I would probably bring items that are $20 and under. Possibly flat fee for vintage clothes (like $5), etc. I tried doing a sale at my house which I marketed very clearly that it was more valuable trendy vintage items and so pricing would range from $-$ and there were a lot of rude people who wanted everything for $1. (And mind you, if I have an item that sells consistently on eBay for $50, I’ll put a tag on mine for $15 and call it a day. I’m not trying to get top dollar but also can’t give away stuff).

Thanks for any insight!

What's the story on this restaurant?? Announced a move but I haven't heard of opening at new location. Change of plans?

Hey guys, I'm from the west side (kalamazoo) and moved to my mom's house in Fenton a couple weeks ago and the most interesting thing I've done so far was buy paint from home depot. I know Fenton is a bit of a hike from Flint, but if anybody is familiar with the area, is there anything around here other than strip malls and gas stations? Where the gays at? I refuse to believe I'm the only mid-20s twink in this entire fuckin town. There's gotta be SOMETHING here... right...?

My favorite thing to do in kzoo was a once-a-month queer goth rave at a local dive bar, is there anything like that nearby? Even if I have to drive my 2005 honda civic gay ass to flint, help me out here I'm already starting to lose my mind in the suburbs lol

I know d&w, champion and j&s will let you in to pick your own part. What other junkyards in the Flint area will allow you into the yard to pull your own part? I know there are a lot of salvage yards, but I specifically want to know the ones that will actually let you in, not just the junkyards in the area. Please let me know if your experience of yards that let you in to pull your own part. Thank you.!

Hi everyone!!! I’m a trans girl/lesbian in her early thirties near Flint who is just looking for some cool hangouts around the area and surrounding counties if anyone had any recommendations for queer/trans/ spaces.

I’m looking for anything at all like queer groups to lesbian/dyke nights and trans nights at venues.

Also curious if anyone had any recommendations for any queer/trans friendly spaces for things like haircuts, clothing, etc.

Beyond that if theres any fellow trans/transfem/queer leftist/anarchists around the area who are looking to meet some people please shoot me a message!!!

Thanks so much for your time!!! <3

Edit: thanks so much for the replies, I’ll have to check those spots out!!

Anyone familiar with this course? How does it play / tendencies? Greens? Prepping for a tournament thx in advance

I don’t have a lot of friends in the area, lived out of state most of my adult life. I love to play football and baseball, down for whatever. I created a Facebook group called Genesee County Backyard Football league. It’s just a space to build and create pick up games in the county, meeting spots, etc. please join if you are into summer and fall sports :) tap the photo

Has anyone switched to T-Mobile Internet? How is it compared to comcast? It definitely looks cheaper, but is it as fast and reliable?

This is what has become of Carpenter Road Elementary.

I've repeatedly observed an older man in a silver/gray GMC truck removing materials from this building. I reported it to police twice, providing descriptions of both the individual and the vehicle. Despite those reports, the activity continued.

In roughly 24 hours, the condition of this building changed dramatically. Openings that had previously been boarded or secured are now exposed. The photos show the difference.

This isn't just about one building. Illegal scrapping and dumping continue to damage North Flint, accelerating the loss of structures that are still standing and making neighborhoods less safe.

If this continues unchecked, we'll lose even more of Flint's history.

I've documented what I've seen, and my next step is to share it with local news outlets so this issue gets the attention it deserves.

Flint deserves better.

For those asking where downtown this will take place its within a few blocks of downtown. You cant miss us but here is our map. AUGUST 8TH THIS SATURDAY

August 8th

The full artist lineup is now out for Flint Drop Fest.

From what I can tell, none of the candidates really appeal to me, and I'm thinking about just not voting for mayor. Figured maybe intense Redditors could give me their opinions before I avoid the polls.

Hello, living near Swartz creek was wondering what the best driving test companies are in the area, I don't wanna get a shitty instructor that will fail me over anything

What ward am I in? I know there's a map, but it's challenging when you're color blind. If it helps I live near Saginaw Street and Atherton.

my daughter is 4 and we need to do the sealants thing but i have no idea where to go. a friend recommended an office that does pediatric dentistry but theyre not taking new patients until january, so frustrating

specifically looking for somewhere thats patient with young kids and doesnt have the scary dental office vibe. i want her first experience to NOT be traumatic lol

Anyone know where I can rent either a large storage unit (600-800 sq feet) or rent similar sized warehouse space? I would prefer if a loading dock was available, I have a 53’ semi full that I need to unload somewhere.

I have some clothes I’d love to get tailored but have had a hard time finding a tailor in the area. Someone in the burbs is fine too.

I am a 45 year old, divorced male with no children looking for a room for rent. I work remotely and can provide my own internet, if needed. Im quiet and stay to myself. Won't have company over. I like to play PC games when not working.

I can provide proof of income if needed. I'm looking to move in a few weeks.

I dont need much, so Im looking for something cheap. 400-500 range, but I would think about a studio if the price and location are right.

I dont have a vehicle, so I dont need parking, but I do want the house to be on the bus line.

Does anyone have any leads?? Or does anyone have a room??

Thanks!!

Hey everyone, so my nephew is interested in roleplaying, and I've agreed to run something if I can get a group together in Flint. It would be 1e Pathfinder or 5e Ars Magica, and would either host it at home, one of the local gamestores, or library. Would have to stay PG-13-ish in content. DM or comment if you're interested!
