I've lived in Genesee Twp the last 20 years. It is a great place to live, quiet. safe. There is almost everything you need in the village, grocery store, hardware store, Family Dollar, General Dollar, barber, Mickey D, post office, tailor, coney island restaurant , liquor store and great schools.
I love your Flint videos. I am looking forward to your video on Flint's west side. I grew up near the Ballenger Highway and Miller road intersection on Yale Street. I worked at Carl Schumakers Sinclair gas station when I was a kid in the late 60's. A real landmark. Thanks for your information and history.
@@darwingraves372 Schumakers was the largest sporting goods store and had the largest downhill and cross country ski collection in the area. Auto parts, service fuel, etc. There were no locks on the store entry doors, as they were NEVER closed.
I would love to take your videos to a city council meeting to show them how A' GREAT" THEY SAY THEY ARE DOING FOR US!! This is a wake up reality show! First time hearing about your channel and thank you for showing the facts;!
I moved to genesee charter township recently and enjoy the area more than I hoped and love having a large yard. Has all the shopping im used to near by but I mostly love the huge parks from genesee township with beautiful trails along the river connecting to large richfield park I love it great peaceful hiking, biking kayaking anytime
My parents white-flighted out of Flint to Clio in the early sixties. I was in 3rd grade. I now live just outside of Mt Morris city limits (In Mt Morris Township), and am thoroughly familiar with every mile you traveled in this video. (@22:04 you passed Heritage Veterinarian Hospital, (where I have been taking my dogs for last 12 years.) The Boggs family take great care of my two dogs.
Your parents were smart . Up until the early 70s it was good then bussing called "the magnet" program destroyed the schools. Wish my parents moved too.
Growed up in Geneseeville. Went to school and graduated Genesee high. Love that place! My parents still live in the same home I growed up in. A lot of the roads your driving on use to be gravel. You even passed by my very first girlfriends house from 5th grade lol.Perfect community!
I've only seen streetlights suspended from a wire above the middle of the road (instead of a pole) in your Michigan videos. Do other states do that also?
The very fact that Kearsley is open and graduates students in itself proves they are definitely not a Flint school. Back in the day there was a niteclub called the Mikatam on Genesee rd. that would be packed on weekends.
My mother was the head bartender back in '84- '86. I used to run around that place early on weekends before they opened to the public for the day. The owner, Tom Joubran, used to place quarters a half dollars around the place for me to find like an Easter egg hunt, while my mother was helping get things set up for the night. My father would also be the voice for some of the radio commercials for them, back around that time as well.
You forgot Beecher the last Metropolitan Water District left in Michigan it’s surrounded by Mt.Morris Twp. And Genesee Twp. Beecher at one time had 7000 students during the 1970 Era also the City of Flint in 1969 was the Wealthiest City in America. But since 1969 Flint and surrounding areas have seen a steady decline in population since then. Due the GM Leaving it left the City and Surrounding areas with a loss of Residents moving to follow GM
@@ChrisHarden i wish you could do a Small towns Video liked St.Charles lol it my home town but saginaw that where i was born both towns is my home state of mind 💯 lol
@@rfgoldencountryrecords2258 There’s just wayyy too many small towns. I usually set the criteria at 5,000 pop. unless there’s something really unique about that place… like Mackinaw City or something.
@@ChrisHarden oh 😔 dang it i just want know about tha history of both towns but most of tha M-52 highways that goes though the town of St charles to get in saginaw mi but i just trying to pass a ida for you chirs im born and rase in Michigan just really try to help pass ida towns to really check out at times & love yours videos brother 💯
Depending on where you are in Colorado, there’s more sunshine out there too. That’s my biggest pet peeve with Michigan is the 3-4 months straight of grey skies from November to February
They don't have calls to police because they make us do it online now and never showed up to begin with before the online police complaint and still don't
Not really. My experience with this was sad. I grew up on the north side of Flint. I'm black, I had a white friend that lived on the same block that I played with everyday except Sunday. The kids weren't allowed to have company on Sundays. We played and ate at each other's house regularly. One day in 2nd grade Michael didn't come to school. I walked by his house on my way home and it was empty. I got home and my mom told me Michael left me a note. I read it (I assume my mom and dad had not) and it said his parents told him they had to move because there were too many black people moving into the neighborhood and he'd write me later. I never heard from him. This was kinda heartbreaking for a 7 year old.

You did not go into Beecher part of the twp.
@@tonywestvirginia I didn't forget Beecher. Beecher will be its own video.
Thanks Chris!! Always a good day when you post a new video. Keep it up✌

I remember when Shumakers was also an auto parts store. They became the MSU/UM store after that I believe its called ‘The Great Divide’.?

@@darwingraves372 they call it the Split Mitt or something like that now.
I literally live right down the road from the fairgrounds lol. It's cool seeing you go to the places I'm at frequently.
These michigan cities are ecenomic craters. Urban blight and decay surrounded by nice townships on the outer ring.
Make sure you head to mt Morris/Beecher. You can see where it shifts from country to hood (Northside)
Another great flint video good job on the facts also 💯
I would love to take your videos to a city council meeting to show them how A' GREAT" THEY SAY THEY ARE DOING FOR US!! This is a wake up reality show! First time hearing about your channel and thank you for showing the facts;!
Thanks for your time and work...... "Lunch is over---back to work"
Love seeing the video of where I call home. We love our little town (Geneseeville)
At the 21:54 point, you pass by the turnoff street to the left into the small subdivision where my wife & I live at now......
I moved to genesee charter township recently and enjoy the area more than I hoped and love having a large yard. Has all the shopping im used to near by but I mostly love the huge parks from genesee township with beautiful trails along the river connecting to large richfield park I love it great peaceful hiking, biking kayaking anytime

I also took my pets to Heritage when I lived there. They were really great
Your parents were smart .
Up until the early 70s it was good then bussing called "the magnet" program destroyed the schools. Wish my parents moved too.
Chris - Do one on Swartz Creek - That's my hometown!
Coming soon!
Dig it - It's a great little town!
The school board screwed up and had to tear down a 95 year old building, but the town and people are the best.
Growed up in Geneseeville. Went to school and graduated Genesee high. Love that place! My parents still live in the same home I growed up in. A lot of the roads your driving on use to be gravel. You even passed by my very first girlfriends house from 5th grade lol.Perfect community!
Now… how awesome would it be if we had videos of ppl driving around on these roads before they saw suburban like growth?
@@ChrisHarden I have many pictures but no video. I graduated in 1978 and video recorders was never even thought of lol. Good video, thanks..
All my kids went to Genesee, at the time it was a great school. Hope it is still that way
I enjoyed watching that . .. thx.
I deliver for Amazon in this area everyone is extremely friendly i love the state of Michigan
As 23 Veteran Firefighter who has never heard of such a story. I grew up in Genesee Twp. Now in Vienna Twp.
I've only seen streetlights suspended from a wire above the middle of the road (instead of a pole) in your Michigan videos. Do other states do that also?
That's peculiar. I hadn't noticed that. I am in Ohio and I've never seen that.

You should do a video on idlewild/baldwin it has many abandoned buildings and has a lot of history
Maybe one day!
You should do Mt. Morris/Beecher next
Mt. morris and Beecher will both have separate videos
Can't wait. My hometown.
I'm friends with Jason and very familiar with the drone case:)
That arrest was such a bizarre case!

That is the Fairgrounds Road.
I was born and raised in Flint now I live in Colorado I missed it but I'm so sick of getting my stuff stolen so I moved here

They don't have calls to police because they make us do it online now and never showed up to begin with before the online police complaint and still don't
Dude I could take you down every road in Genesee County loll
Well I can tell you there are no laws in Michigan that bans Drone usage. That private property but I still never heard of the story.
We call that Bird land because all the streets are bird names.
Dude the term white flight isn’t looked good upon.

The white flighters were SMART!
I grew up in flint.
Kearsley class of 2006
