Author    Post   Flinn's Journal F L I N T O I D For those who have read my Blackstone's article in the February issue of Your Magazine, how is it? Those I know said they love it. For future issues.. March--Dort Highway (because Western Road was a misleading name) April--Flint Faience Tile May--General Motors' fleet of Futurliners June--drive-in theaters in the Flint area The drive-in article will be different from the one I wrote in The Uncommon Sense but will utilize some of the same material and feature more visuals as I expect to get access to The Flint Journal's archives as the Journal owns Your Magazine. Of course, if anyone has ideas for future articles, please let me know. _________________ I HAVE SEVERED MY TIES WITH FLINTTALK.COM BECAUSE TROLLS CANNOT BE CONTROLLED ON THIS BOARD.

That author has the Wright stuff. _________________ "Wherever there's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there"- John Steinbeck Wed Feb 20, 2008 7:31 pm  Demeralda F L I N T O I D I look forward to the Flint Faience. My grandfather was involved in that business -- he made the iron frame for the tables that have those tiles. My mother and her sisters all have a table. Of course, once my cousins heard they were collectible, they've begun to vanish... Fri Feb 22, 2008 4:23 pm  Flinn's Journal F L I N T O I D The June issue is out and the subject is a heartfelt salute and tribute to the Flint area's drive-in theaters, past and present with a concern for the future with US 23 Twin DI owner Lou Warrington's health problems and his son Todd's recent death. Most family members are determined to keep that drive-in open. There is one obvious editing typo I caught which leaves the impression that Lou built the "23". Actually, he's a second generation owner as his father, also named Louis, built it. Lou's granddaughter is running the refreshment stand now and Lou's wife Diane is both caring for Lou and managing the drive-in. The planned subjects for future Your Magazine articles are: July--Buick's 105th Anniversary August--Hurley Medical Center's 100th Anniversary September--the history of the local banks which evolved into Bank of America October--WJRT's 50th Anniversary The next planned Flinn's Journal in The Flint Journal looks at General Motors memorabilia as part of a special section of the Journal for GM's 100th Anniversary.

Sometimes it makes the reading a wee bit tedious. Totally interesting subject matter, though. _________________ I'm no model lady.
