LOL weekend getaway 24.99 HAHAHAHAHA thats so flint!

[flintmi]

That's 1984 dollars. But hey, you're right, the cost of living there, even today, is very, very low.

There is word now that this structure maybe turned into student houseing! Unfortunatly, this will spell the end for the old Durant Hotel, which was also slated for housing. With new dorms now in place, they have no use for both.

[flintmi]

The Durant is already being converted to dorms for students. The Crim Foundation owns the hotel now. So all is well for the time being. A little good news is welcomed!

The guy at the beginning is Jim Zembo, the "Come on Girl" is Sherry Wyatt, the salad guy at the end is Dave Barclay owner of Dukes Car Stereo.

@broncodrew I grew up in Flint too. I wish we could put Flint in a time machine and send it back to 1960 it was nice then before GM and the UAW ruined it.

@broncodrew if u spent less time sucking dick, maybe u could get some pussy...u prob got beat up n picked on everyday, so u moved. happens all the time w pussys like u. stay gay, fag!

[broncodrew]

@JohnsonSlanger Nice retort there buddy, using low-brow gay bashing on my “bitch-ass”. You're definitely a product of a Flint education (Beecher or Central?). If you spend less time getting upset with people who make joking pot-shots at their hometown and more time concentrating on self improvement (I stress “self improvement” and not saving for 20” Dubs for your '83 Caprice...aaight!) you might find yourself in a better place as well!

[JohnsonSlanger]

@broncodrew we should drop an A bomb on ur bitch ass! FUCK YOU FAGGET! and fuck gay ass dallas! FLint is my home and i love it no matter how shity it is...u just love cock

[broncodrew]

Ha ha what a fucking joke! I grew up in Flint, that whole commerical definately was shot in the Hyatt. Doesn't matter if was shot in 1988 or now, once you step outside they would have been dodging bullets and panhandlers. Glad I moved to Dallas. Fuck Flint and fuck Michael Moore! I said it as a child and I say it now: We should drop an A-bomb on Flint and start over from scratch!

makes me so sick they sold that place to a fcking church. Just what Flint DIDN'T need. I moved there in 97 and was outta there in 03. It used to be a cool, edgy place when businesses like Metropolis were opened. I missed AutoWOrld by a cpl of years. But this is a prime example of the "Nothing" (like the never-ending story) spreading in the wake of the failed auto industry. I hope places like Flint,Pontiac and Detroit can make a come back. So sad to see such potential just rot on the vine...

Where can we go now for nightlife?
