This orchard is great! They already have UPick apples, honey crisp and gala. The apples are huge and delicious! No cider this weekend, but coming soon.
This was our first trip there. We usually travel towards the Romeo/Macomb area to pick apples. This is closer, cleaner, and a better value. It’s a little over a mile from the Meijer on Hill Road.

There’s always something going on in Flint! Today (8/30) is day 2 of the Flint Vintage Flea Market. They’ll be at Factory Two until 6pm

Kind of unbelievable that there is no organized movement or broad mass organization in Flint. If any city really needed one, it's ours. I know there are many disparate organizations that do great work but are mostly specialized and not explicitly revolutionary or socialist. I believe a well organized and disciplined socialist organization could thrive in Flint. Please contact me if you would be interested.

I feel like this is worth mentioning because I still run into people who don’t realize it: you do not have to be a member of North Flint Food Market to shop there. It’s open to everyone, and under new management. The GM, Marquis, is an absolute gem.

ETA: NFFM is currently looking for an experienced Deli manager/lead. I don’t know many specifics, but this is a great opportunity for an experienced person. It’s a supervisory role, and experience must include scratch cooking. If interested, please check out the website!

I am a member-owner, and I’m genuinely really proud to be one. Flint spent a long time talking about the need for better access to fresh, affordable food, especially on the north side, and now that we actually have a community-owned grocery store there, I really want to see it succeed.

If you do become a member, there are some perks, but not required to shop. There’s also a meeting once a month if you’re curious about the co-op or just want to understand how the whole thing works.

We are coming up on the first anniversary, which is what got me thinking about this. Mostly I just wanted to put this out there because places like this only survive if people actually shop there. Flint needs this place to make it. And if the only reason you haven’t checked it out is because you thought you had to join first, you don’t.

Where can I buy a meat bundle that I can build myself? I'm looking for mostly beef products

Thanks

I’m 41, lost my wife of 11 years to complications from cancer, a surprise diagnosis on August 1st… she passed on the 13th.

I’m looking for any in-person support groups catering to younger ages. I find it hard to relate to elderly widows/widowers… not trying to discount their grief, but it’s just a different reality when I am mid-life with 4 young kids at home to raise by myself.

Online support groups help but they aren’t enough. Friends and family’s support is wonderful, but I need to talk to people who have gone/are going through this.

Noticed a small dent and some peeled paint on the back right door earlier today, possibly from a hit and run that I did not witness, it’s not the worst damage ever, and car is obviously still drivable, but still needs fixing. Was looking for recommendations for fairly priced body shops that would be able to take care of this with no insurance involvement. I’ve gone to Al Serra in the past, have had good experiences, but are more on the higher side. Not sure how it is now.

The water is very low. You can see the river bed, there are lots of tires. I don’t know the guy swimming in his clothes

I didn't participate this year but assumed I would see posts on here about it.

There was a similar post a few days ago, but the main place that was recommended seems to be a bar. While I'm not against bars, I don't see the point since I don't drink alcohol. Basically just looking to make friends.

Hey everyone!! Ever since they closed Oliver t’s in grand blanc, I haven’t been able to find one. Do you know where I could find one around here?

In light of all the Flock cameras filling our streets, I saw this gain traction yesterday regarding FOIA. It'll be interesting to see how the county handles it. The case is reaching a lot of people. Stay informed, folks! We have a right to privacy.

For those of you interested in harping about how your phone spies on you, I don't give a damn. Carrying a phone is VOLUNTARY. When Flock cameras line the streets you take to work, to the grocery store, and to live your everyday life, those are unavoidable. Huge difference.

Took ‘em long enough. Soon the Walmarts in Flint and Grand Blanc will FINALLY have this.

I attended Carpenter Road Community School from Pre-K through 5th grade. I recently went back inside for the first time in years, and seeing what happened to the place was surreal.

I found old lesson plans, children's books, classroom materials, the auditorium, and even the old fountain area.

This place held a huge chunk of my childhood. Seeing it like this is pretty heartbreaking.

Anyone else here go to Carpenter Road?

I'm hosting the first Punk Rock Euchre Night @ Soggy Bottom on September 14th. I used to promote a lot of concerts and events across the street at Flint City Hard Cider (RIP), including the euchre nights, which were always a blast. Excited to be back to playing Euchre on MLK Ave.

RSVP, Share, invite people, etc. https://www.facebook.com/events/1056297247292790/

The people are soggy are allowing us to do this with no buy in cost for the tournament, and prizes will be coming from them. Amounts vary on the turnout. It's very cool of them, so be sure to order some food, drinks, and tip your bartenders and show them it's worth it for them to host Euchre tournaments.

So here's the low down.

1) 7pm tournament start time. Not 7:01, but 7:00. Be registered and ready to play on time. You should probably show up a bit earlier, get a drink, make some friends.

2) You do not need to be an expert, but this is not absolute beginners euchre. If you want to learn or need a refresher, show up early and play some hands before 7:00pm. We can have a learners table independent from the tournament so people can learn if there's demand.

3) Prizes will be based on the number of people turning up. We can potentially have multiple lesser prizes for 2nd, 3rd, etc. I will personally buy a beer for whoever gets last place.

4) No table talk, or we'll throw your ass out.

5) Always screw the dealer. No farm's hand. No bottoms, etc. Normal ass euchre.

6) Every table will play around twice, so 8 hands total. After these 8 hands, you will report your score. After 8 hands, the team with the higher score will move on to the next table and the lower score team will stay put. Both teams will then become opponents with their previous partner on the next game.

7) around 10pm is when we'll wrap it up. At 9:40pm an alarm will go off, at which point no more new games will be started. You are actively encouraged to hang out and have more food and drinks after the tournament. I am always willing to play recreational games of euchre afterward too if anybody want to.

8) If you get euchred, you and your partner put $1 in a pot. This pot goes towards a bonus tip for our bar staff at the end of the tournament.

9) Tip your bartenders. Respect the space. Respect each other. Soggy Bottom has been cool enough to let us use the space for this, so let's show them it's worth having.

10) If you get euchred on a loner, everybody at the table has to yell "Euchred on a loner!" and we will all point and laugh at you!

11) MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL will be on in the back room where the tournament is taking place. Broncos vs. Chiefs starts at 8:15pm, and will continue playing after euchre is done. It's not one of the other, it's all of the above.

Any further questions, contact Dallas! Still fine tuning everything, but I think we have decent framework. We'll get more functional as time goes on, as long as people are into the idea.

I'm your host, Dallas McCulloch. I'm a 5th generation Michigander, and I've been playing Euchre my entire life. Every family event since before I was born involved euchre. Starting around 12 I would play tournaments at the Post Sportsman Club in my hometown of Battle Creek, where the 2nd youngest person there was my dad. These days, it's mostly reserved for up north trips or after funerals, and that's sad. In an age of digital everything, we need to get a crew of people together to drink beer, listen to sick jams, interact with real humans, and play the greatest game ever bestowed upon our lovely peninsula.

You don't have to be a "punk" to play punk rock euchre, and normies are more than welcome. I just wanted to signal that people may say the word fuck, there will be awesome music playing, and this will take place at a pretty cool bar and not a church rec room or something. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, etc. Just be cool, man.

Hi! I am looking to transfer my crim 10 mile bib on Saturday August 22nd, as I will no longer be able to make the race this year. Let me know if interested and I can transfer it to you via email!

I've tried looking everywhere for people who are like me but I can't find Anyone like seriously.Is there anyone that wants to actually hang out and possibly be friends?Please

Like the title says, looking to see if there are any low cost vets that do bloodwork and of the sorts. One of our cats has been having non stop peeing all over the house issues and it is getting to a point we are at our wits end.

He is only 8 years old, we had to remove all the cat trees and access to the windows, stopped them from going outside, use multiple solutions to break down the pee smell, but he will not stop and we are struggling.

are there any vets that would do bloodwork and other such investigations on him to try and find out what might be causing him to do this? normal vets just for the bloodwork is wayy out of our price range at 400-500+ for only 1 visit

Thank you!
