We're damn near neighbors. I'm in Vienna township, Genesee county, and I can be in Shiawassee county in five minutes, Tuscola in 10, and Saginaw in 10 or less. I slept right through it.

That's what small towns are all about. We take care of eachother.

Sounds like we're both home boys. I was born, raised, and have lived my entire life in Genesee county. I was here during the boom, and have witnessed the bust.
Back in the 70's, the biggest industrial complexes in the world were in Flint. It makes ya wanna cry to drive by the areas now. All gone.

The flip side of Try That in a Small Town. Communities working together for the greater good of the community. That has become a forgotten concept in the Me, Me, ME! world we live in today.

But when you live in areas for your good part of your life from childhood you see how things come go and never stay the same
