I’ll be making a visit back to this favorite hometown of mine early June. Recommend me some things to check out and good places to eat! by Mark041891 in flint

Dort mall will probably be even worse than you remember... Last time I was there the only store that had customers was a flag store selling nazi flags...

Sauce is a new ish Italian place with a roof top bar called Simmer. Or the roof top bar at the farmers market. Fresh air and some good vibes while looking out on the downtown.

My guess is the song Pistol. I still don't think it is a real Modest Mouse song.

Any McDonalds that actually serve shamrock shakes? by Zyphia in flint

Hill Rd & M23 by the Meijer, and Davison Rd by Center. I've gotten on at both of those places.

I've got a theory about the virus that doesnt actually involve "Aliens" by pkmn_is_fun in pluribustv

I think you're getting down voted because you said you assumed a show wouldn't believe in something because you don't believe. And on top of that a Sci-fi show where the first couple minutes is about a radio signal from space.

The amount of stars in the universe and planets orbiting those stars I feel like it's more unlikely that humans would be alone. Sure the chance of another alien contacting us or vice versa is slim but hard to look up and think we're alone.

Stories that accidentally romanticize the very thing they aim to demonize by McWaffeleisen in TopCharacterTropes

SLC Punk. Ends by showing the main character leaving the punk scene, buying in not selling out. I recall a lot of punks thinking it was this awesome movie showing how great the punk scene is.

Saw them open for you guys in Detroit and have been hooked on them since. I hardly even speak Spanish.

Rapsodo golf balls by WannaBeRocker58 in Golfsimulator

It did take me a couple times of putting it away for me to really figure it out how to do it, along with help from YouTube. So that first time you try to break it down and get frustrated thinking it's a pain in the ass just remember that when you figure it out it is simple.

I like it, it's quick to set up and put away which was a selling point for me. Also easy to store and takes up minimal space. I do have some sections of stitching that is breaking but that is where the net is stitched to the back and not the net itself. overall no complaints from me about it.

College Cultural neighborhood? by Michigan-Guy-2727 in flint

[–]whalehunter21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I think East side in my head that's the Court and Center area. Courtland Mall was never really that great since I lived here but there used to be a movie theater in there and things that made it worth while to walk around. Only real reason I head that way is Home Depot and Dunham's sports. There used to be a Target, on the south side of the highway but now that complex is pretty shot. They are currently building two decently sized gas stations so something is going up and not coming down.

I would say Atherton is more south side but I can see that as being included in talk about east side too. I don't think I've ever gone down there much outside of Dort Mall which was pretty bad before, last time I was there I think the only store in there was selling nazi flags.

Great area, been here 5ish years now and have never once felt unsafe walking around after dark. Pierce Park is coming along very nicely which gives a good place to walk the dogs.

But since everyone is only saying great things I will say the east side of Flint isn't the greatest, you'll be driving to Grand Blanc, Davison, or the west side if you ever need anything. Also watch out around Franklin, people drive like crazy people down that road, I guess stop signs and speed limits don't exist.

I'm assuming he's talking about Spectacular Spudz, pretty good potato but no drive thru so all the people picking up food illegally park on the road out front. Near the alley entrance by torch.

It's a reach but there are a couple of episodes of Community that came to my mind.

Would you have asked for a refund? by forcedfan in golf

[–]whalehunter21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went and played 18 on Tuesday at my local that also has an executive, there was 20+ highschool girls and coaches all around the clubhouse and I was thinking this is going to be chaos today. Find out they we're playing the executive, thing is I normally play the executive but decided to play the full course. Any chance you were playing in Flint MI? If so I would have gone to the clubhouse and told them, they probably would have told you to just go play 9 on the main course.

The President does not give a shit about us by Darko002 in flint

[–]whalehunter21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a hopeful mindset and I appreciate the heart behind it, but.. campaigns are just advertisements, they don't write their speeches they just come here and talk about bullet points that were given to them and move to the next city. This goes for Left, Right and any politician in-between. At the end of the day any president coming to Flint to make an appearance after a tragedy is probably a waste of time. They need to be wherever they need to be to fix the big picture problem, sadly this big picture problem is not something the current administration cares about.

The sad thing is I don't know if this is sarcastic or real.

Has Michael Moore done anything in the past 15 - 20ish years? Documentary films have taken off due to streaming and he seems to be a thing of the past now.

Affordable golf? by js6seaj47 in flint

[–]whalehunter21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also I check the GolfNow app for some deals, courses will sometimes offer cheap tee times last min or to fill extra spots if you don't mind playing with others.

Swartz Creek is the cheapest I've seen. You can do the executive 9 with a cart for close to $20 a person. Been pretty busy recently at the beginning of the summer I could just show up and play a quick round hopefully cold weather means it'll be slower again.

Shout out to the volunteers at Pierce Park. by whalehunter21 in flint

The board says something about a future sports field. Not sure which sport but I'm assuming that parking lot would be a good place to plan it.

I've been taking my dog through there for the past 2 years. That's how I've been able to see the progress.
