Lost Flint

by Gary Flinn

From the author of Remembering Flint and Hidden History of Flint come unearthed tales of Vehicle City's lost heritage. The city of Flint waxed and waned with the automotive industry of the twentieth century. Where they have not vanished completely, crumbling signs of past opulence stand as painful reminders of more recent struggles. Hardly a trace remains of the Buick City factory complex that sprawled across the city's north side. The placid waters of Flint Park Lake once echoed with the sounds of an amusement park--games, dancing, circus acts, even a roller coaster. Flint Community Schools pioneered a model for how schools can function outside regular hours, but too many now are closed and deteriorating. Local author Gary Flinn uncovers the abandoned places and lost traditions from the Vehicle City's past.

I always love reading about the history of my hometown. I've read all of Gary Flinn's books about the Flint area and they are all excellent.
