  • Born and raised in flint, but left in 1993. Always brings me to tears to see my city like this

    flint had a growing economy in the early 80s. like detroit, flint was dependent on the big 3 auto companies as the main employer for good paying jobs.

    6:46 GOD BLESS the people who don't give up and still show pride of ownership amongst the rubble.

    As a former Flintstone, born and raised. I have to say this is embarrassing. I love my hometown and I love what CharlieBo313 does, but I want everyone to know it wasn’t always like this. Flint used to be a bustling city full of hard working families and beautiful homes. RIP to a once amazing city. Hopefully it will rise from the ashes one day like a Phoenix
  • This is what happens when decent-wage jobs in manufacturing leave the US for Mexico
  • @risennation1239
    Those complexes have been riddled with crime for decades. The decline happened long before the water crisis.
  • Flint will always be my home❤️. There’s good parts and bad parts just like every other city.
  • I LIVE IN FLINT AND WHAT HE SHOWED WAS MOST OF THE ABANDONED AREAS (WHICH EVERY CITY HAS) THIS IS NOT I REPEAT THIS IS NOT ALL FLINT HAS TO OFFER..SHEESH
  • Whenever I watch these videos my mind is constantly recreating what it might have looked like when things were better.
  • @ads45ful
    Thank you for producing a great video of the city of my roots. Good memories of times and travels growing up until my family moved away in the early 70's.
  • @vrakula
    Your videos will be gold in 20 years. Well they are already but you know what I mean. Historical documentation. Stay safe CharlieBo and Merry Christmas.

    Everyone's in the comments talking about how horrible this is and I'm over here like "Hey! He passed my childhood home" 😂 Moved out a long time ago though, as do many

    I was born in flint grew up in a rough neighborhood (Merrill Hood)area around Pasadena and DuPont and the poverty only getting worse but my grandma told me General Motors jobs is the reason she moved there back in the day but the good auto jobs are gone now. Nowadays it look like a ghost town.
  • @Pownow777

  • @markbuchanan847
    Thank you for your recording and your remaining into that time/space. Remind me never to say "I think I have the night off". Ha ha. What a morning! We love you all, mox.
  • I was born and raised in Flint, it used to be a booming city until they took Buick City and AutoWorld out of here. That is when all the crime started happening in flint. It breaks my heart to see what Flint has become from what is used to be.
