  • i love my city

  • I am moving from a tropical island in Tahiti to Flint, MI. I'm looking for a nice little cottage in the ghetto. I can't wait to get there...

  • I love flint :) too bad they dont have the cruise anymore, thats probably why the statistics are down

  • EVERYTHING IN THIS PHYSICAL WORLD BEGINS FIRST AS A THOUGHT! The beginnings of Flint moral decline began I believe in the mid-80s when the city was facing rising unemployment do to GMs abandonment and a rise in crime in not just Flint but all over the nation, particularly in the youth(but not souly the youths fault) this is when we FLINTSTONIANS began to talk negitively of our city and fell for what OTHER said, and now Flint is what WE talked it up into becoming If You Believe it You Achieve it!

  • anyone know if Gypsy Jack is still alive..he was almost as crazy as my Dad...was over there once and he shot a hole through his ceiling..we ran the hell outta there fast..lol

  • born and raised in this city my whole life if you ask me th 80 was the drug era 90 was the gang era 2000 was when the murder spree started to happen but it is what it is northside flint 5th ward till i die

  • It's crazy that commented on this video a year ago and since then my own brother has gotten killed....but at the end of the day it's still home y run from the place that make u who u are.If anything stay and make it better!

  • Born and raised on the East Side...Ohio and Vernon!!! Rough as hell. Had to move my kids outta there because the schools are horrible and the gangs are horrible. I miss my city.

  • @nicolerenee82 East siide,.. I was lived on Mable then Arlington St til 1993..lived on every side but the west side but mostly the Eastside, lost alot of friends since I left and a few before i left but thats life in Flint Michigan

  • @dominion37x i lived on mable too went to homedale as a kid

  • @phillipwhite04 cool, me too..but a few years before you did it looks like..i was at homedale in the early 80's

  • @dominion37x who was principal can you remember, it was miss clock in the early/ mid 90's

  • flint

  • @810cboo not the multimillionaires. they sure ain't broke.*

  • Born and Bred on the Eastside of Flint. Born on Jane, and Lewis street taught me to be as street wise as anybody on this planet. When you reach your 50's and live or lived in Flint, MI.... you are a survivor.

  • I bet you used to drink your beer at al and donnas and eat sicilys pizza

  • I drank all up and down Lewis St. and Franklin too but my Pizza was Luigi's first and then Sicily's second. I shopped at Hamadys Grocery on the corner of Davison and Franklin and swam at the pool at Kearsley park, and I even had a Drivers license at Safetyville USA. Ate at Angelos and the Starlite and later partied at Jesters, friends with many of the Wheels and all in all have great memories in Flint!

  • Yeah...flint was definately a party town...no doubt about that. I had a freinds brother in the wheels and i imagine you probably knew the old man they called pappy. Most of my high school buds went to prison and many are dead now. I done most of my drinking at fenton rd tavern,shermans,lone pine,Franklin inn the dug out....damn its a bar town...lol

  • Yep, I know alot of retired Wheels, as well as active status. But out of respect, I'll not mention their names here. I stayed on the Eastside instead of southend. I can name 50 bars at least in flint and there are alot more than that, so you're right about it being a bar town. Peppermint lounge and lamplighter were some other of my hangouts besides the cluhouse. Flint will forever be a huge part of my life and memories.

  • @Krazede used to go drag my dad out of The Hideaway right across the street from Al and Donnas..are those bars still there?

  • @dominion37x I been gone for years now.I retired from GM and got out. Jack has been dead for years,,I remember him sleeping beneath the pool table at Ole Franks, he was an institution.I can remember in the 60's and even the mid 70's when things were OK in Flint.The East Side was a little immigrant neighborhood. Beautiful tree lined streets with manicured yards and clean streets.Then it just went downhill..One thing about it, being from there ALWAYS commanded the respect of those who knew Flint.

  • @Krazede yea I found a thing on Google that said Gypsy died in '03 from either a fall or someone hit him over the head..yea I remember my dad talking about Gypsy sleepin under the pool table, my Dad went to Frank's too (well he went to every bar) usually after work , he retired from GM in '93 him and my Ma moved up to Sault Ste Marie that year (Sugar Island actually, where my dad was from) then me and my now Ex-wife moved up there a few months after that..

  • You can say what you want about Flint but I grew up there and life in Flint is what you make of it. Sure most of us choose the dope game or gangbanging like but what can you do, for the most part you are just a product of your inviorment.. No one to help is just as bad as not knowing what's right from wrong.....flinttowndown for life.....

  • we looked this town up on google earth...pretty ghetto

  • BULL SHIT!!!!!! i m born and raised in flint and i lived in detroit and no dought living in detroit aint no hoe but living in flint is way worst cause it aint no jobs or oppurtunity there and its way more hatters in flint just to let you know!!!

  • I lived in Flint 14 years. They definately have the meanest black people in any city ive been to with the possible exception of Detroit.Of course i know the white ppl are mean there too...Flint is a good place to be....FROM

  • fuck flint

  • I was born and raised in Flint, and I moved away to wash dc in the 91....boy you aint seeen nothin til you come to the southeast side of dc....Flint definitely has a twin! But, I wouldnt not be the woman I am, if I didnt come from Flint. If you can survive, there, then you can survive anywhere!

  • @blackwidowddr amen to that, I was born and raised in Flint too..I left in '93 and i'm glad I did but I'll always be proud of my hometown

  • @blackwidowddr IF you can survive in Flint, can you survive in Oakland California?

    I heard you can't even walk the streets of Oakland, California without getting shot or killed. By gangs and so on. Just look up Oakland Gang wars on Youtube.

    Can someone from Flint Survive in Oakland?

    I think whoevers taking these crime statistics is slacking, either that or the news isn't showing enough things about flint, we should see like they do Oakland.

  • @ballaof2010 Any stranger who walks through any hood ANYWHERE is asking for trouble and will probably get shot, and a person from Flint would realize that as second nature, what makes a person from Flint able to survive in any hood is by knowing how to adapt to just about ANY SITUATION, you gotta know how to HUSTLE to survive in Flint, and thats from the Poorest to the Richest because its grimy as hell up here, BUT Flint is a Diamond in the Rough, I just hope conscious Flintstones can see it.

  • @BedRockBrutha If Flint is so GRIMEY and ROUGH how come every time anyone I know went there never got shit ended up just fine, in almost every niegborhood? You can walk outside your door and up to the corner store without getting approached and asked what gang you rep, unlike Oakland.

    And I'm just being honest, if flint was as dangerous you say it is then you wouldn't have that serial killer come to your city and kill 9 black men. That shit wouldn't go down in Oakland.

  • @ballaof2010 I'm not trying to imply that you can't walk down the street without getting shot bro, many people come visit Flint and don't have a problem, I've been told by plenty of people that they enjoyed their time in Flint. I'm not one of these cats trying to brag about how violent my city is bro so if you don't think its Rough in Flint, I appreciate the compliment, I'm just simply agreeing with what the other person said If you can survive in Flint you can survive ANYWHERE in the US

  • @ballaof2010 I mean fam this aint oakland, We not in cali, we in michigan, errbody dont bang like cali does. Dont get me wrong just cus shit aint pop off wen ya friend was here dont mean we dont get shit popn, U just gotta be here 2 see the shit that goes on. Vice versa. But just 2 let u no.. Shit does goes the fuck off, Y u thin he at the top of the charts...is oakland even on there? Has ever been?

  • @BedRockBoy810 Yes Oakland is on there. Flint is at top of the charts because that ARab Jew Guy killed all you black men, that's the main murderer so obviously your scared to live in your own city because of him.

  • @ballaof2010 no oakland didnt make the top ten this year and flint , mi is the usa's most dangerous city dickhead,go to time.com and read the fbi's most recent report just published on may 23rd ya goon , mathematically if they had the same populations oakland would need 87 more murders to match flint, mi and thats a fact , by the way , ur a fuckin cornball.

  • @ballaof2010 no oakland didnt make the top ten this year and flint , mi is the usa's most dangerous city dickhead,go to time.com and read the fbi's most recent report just published on may 23rd ya goon , mathematically if they had the same populations oakland would need 87 more murders to match flint, mi and thats a fact , by the way , ur a fuckin cornball. the best part is i am from oakland i go to merrit

  • @ballaof2010 Shyt mi dude you obviously weren't raised in the murder mitten alley....from the d to pontiac to flint....mi dirty glove niggaz know what i mean...

  • he was murdered on a friday

  • My boy Lamar Williams got killed that weekend... It's real hard to wtach this but to anybody tlakign SHIT... If you ain't never been to Flint shut THE FUCK UP!

  • Big Dicks should have kept his mouth shut...

  • In order to destroy a people, you don't have to kill them all. You target males between the ages of 14 and 36. The ellimination of a signicant number in this age group effectifily kills them all within a generation.

  • it is worst than the D, the has has 1 million ppl, flint has a 120,000 at max....its like, would u rather be in a room off 10 ppl and someone starts shooting, or a room of 100 ppl and someone starts shooting...more places to hide, less likey to get caught in larger city

  • i live in flint n it depends on where u stay go in a certain part and white people act just as fuckin ignorant so stop with the racist comments n if ya neva been here and been in every part dont comment

  • fukk al u racist ass niggaz bitch we love b n black

  • I would never want to be equal with a self righteous, ignorant individual such as yourself. I was raised in a middle class auto working family who happens to be African American. Not all successful people in this community are of European descent. Where did you get your facts from? Both races (as well as others) are stricken by poverty. The only savage beast I see in this situation is you, only because of your slanderous words and your hate towards things that are not familiar to you.

  • TheSymbolofProximity, that was totally uncalled for and very racist! Some of the reasons Flint is so bad is that all of the big business has left. It slowly left. Along with the auto workers. When they started to export jobs of the area and out of the country A LOT of people left. The reason there is so much crime is that there are no jobs for people! If there was a stable economy in the area it wouldn't be bad!

  • Flint iz the worst place to live my dad iz from there and i gotta go there every summer its really bad my grandparents live there

  • LVEEZY4EVER, I all depends on what area you live in! I live in Flint and I don't have any problems!

  • well "sugaboga",

    Im very happy to hear that.

    When I said "gay" I didnt mean it literatlly.

    I am from Flint aswell.

    That horrible crime ridden city.

  • So everyone wants to stick up for gay Flint, but none of you can even write a complete sentence or spell a word right.

    You uneducated people are the one's who makes the educated people of Flint look bad. Flint is a piece of shit and so is 98% of the people in it.

  • OhhbbyRacheal

    98% ? Are you serious? I was born and raised in Flint, where is it that your from? I'm not gay, uneducated, nor am I a piece of shit !

  • you tell them

  • so true

  • From the hoods to the woods this state has been fucked up since the 50's if you research the history. Detroit Saginaw and Flint made this country and the world took one big giant shit on us. Everything is boarded up and burned down from th D to Mackinac City.

  • hey douche bag, flint was cool till the niggs took over

  • flint is like the filter of detroit all the crackheads n poors live there, flints allways fun tho

  • I grew up in Flint during the '70's and most of the '80's, I graduated and moved away. It was so bad back then, I heard in the '80's Flint had the highest murder and rape stats in the nation. Not sure if it was true, but that's what I was told.I live 600 miles away now, I sleep sooo much better.

  • The people of Flint were broke way before the recession so you could say they're a trend-setter.

  • flint town born and raised!

  • That seems like a lovely neighborhood to move in to.

  • Ask those 2 white kids who wound up there back in the late1990s--the girl got raped, the boy shot and uh, a second boy was murdered.

    Yay, Flint.

  • Flint is the reason ive been able to make it where ever i go.I feal more safe in chicago then i do in my own home town(FLINT) GM aint shit because back in the day flint was the place to be.  Flint stone 4 Life!

  • I've walked the streets of some of the major cities of the world. I've made some of the most dangerous strolls in America, the South Bronx to Yankee Stadium, Cabrini Green in Chicago. They were a cake walk, my fear alarm didn't even sound. That's because I have been down the streets of Flint, Michigan. Where you and I know, they will eat you for breakfast!

  • Hey can anyone tell me how to get this stuff to play it's saying it's playing but I can't get to play

  • Flint is horrible! Its a shame because we talk to killers everyday and dont know it! Flint is wayyy too small to have soo much violence.

  • the same is going on here in the chi...its crazy everywere.
