Flint, Mi Makes Another National List…
Call it lingering sunshine inspiration or blame it on the aromatherapy of my self action tanning lotion but I am on fire today! It’s 7:30 am and I’m already posting. It also probably helps that I had the best piece of news forwarded to me last night that I can’t wait to share. It’s about FLINT and it’s AWESOME!. Yep. I said AWESOME. It’s from KIPLINGERS, a DC...

One Drug Store & Two Mayors: A Taste of Flint History at Witherbee’s Market & Deli
I just read the neatest story about Witherbee’s in Downtown Flint. You can visit their site for the specifics but I will try and summarize here. Okay. Witherbee’s Drug Store was opened in 1850 on Saginaw Street in what was known as the “Eagle’s Block.” Citizen’s Bank is there now. Austin B. Witherbee was the proprietor and he was also the Mayor of Flint in... [Read more]
The Principal Residence Homestead Exemption Looms…
The deadline to file your Principal Residence Homestead Exemption is May 1st so our Resident Friendly Reminding Agent Shannon Jones asked me to remind you to either get to filing or get to buying. Here’s the deal. Regardless of how many properties you own, you are allowed only ONE exemption and you claim it on the one which you consider your principal residence. So if you own a cabin on the lake... [Read more]
Movin’ On Uptown
Eight Flint based investors came together in 2002 and formed Uptown Developments LLC. Have you heard of it? In the group’s own words, they are “…focused on redeveloping downtown Flint into a vibrant neighborhood consisting of loft apartments, restaurants, offices, entertainment and cultural venues.” I like the sound of that! If you haven’t heard of Uptown Developments,... [Read more]
Genesee County Lost Treasures
I recently took a tour of an old school building in Flint, The Oak School, which was built over a hundred years ago. Vacant for just over a decade, there is talk of restoring it which would be very cool. A few months ago I wrote about another amazing structure, the Jackson Hardy House which had been recently renovated, then burned down. Flint is and always has been rich in beautiful stately architecture.... [Read more]
Spring Into Lawncare Maintenance
Spring is finally here. Sure, we likely have more cold weather facing coming our way, but we can see the light at the end of the freezing cold, snowy, dark tunnel. Hooray! Just as New Year’s Day renews our spirit for the new year, Springtime represents new beginnings and possibilities as we watch nature wake up around us. We feel our own bodies waking up too, as we’re greeted by... [Read more]
The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow. So Take Your Vitamins and Don’t Wallow In Sorrow…
Someone asked me last night, “What is going on?” She was contemplating all the people around her and in her extended circles who have been struck ill or passed away recently. I bet you have too. Like everything else over the last few years, can we blame THIS on the economy? I think so. As each year has ended in very recent history, there has been a collective,”Thank goodness that’s...

The Skinny (Salad) at Wize Guys
Do you ever let yourself get too busy to do things that you want to do purely for enjoyment – JUST for you? I do it all the time. Like I feel guilty doing things that don’t necessarily contribute to my household or my family. I know, that’s something I may want to take up with Therapist. But I know I’m not the only one who says, “Maybe I can squeeze that in later”... [Read more]
It Was All Good at Hood’s; A Sip of Owosso History
Don’t let the fact that Shannon Jones is a STATE fan reflect negatively upon her ability to help you buy or sell your house. That single flaw aside, she knows her way around Michigan and the properties for sale in it like nobody else. Experience has taken her across the roads but her own curiosity and interest to learn more is what makes her so knowledgeable of the neighborhoods & communities... [Read more]
Lenten Appeal For North End Soup Kitchen
From now until April 10, 2011 The North End Soup Kitchen is making it really easy to help your community. Often we let ourselves get to busy to help. “I’ll check into that later.” Even more commonly, we want to help but don’t know where to begin. Well what’s better than this – NESK is collecting money to provide food to those who need it during Holy Week, beginning... [Read more]
