ear Readers, So, I have to state the obvious … this cover rocks! Who is hotter right now than Flint native, Terry Crews? As a magazine publisher of nearly two decades, it’s still thrilling to have a truly exciting story materialize and be able to share it with our readers. Our team got in touch

Dear Readers, Well, the winter enthusiasts got their wish. I do enjoy watching frozen Lake Fenton come alive with ice fishermen, skaters, snowmobiles … and dune buggies? I have to say that I prefer a sunny day on my deck watching the sailors on the north end, say, mid-July. It’ll be here before we know

Dear Readers, Happy New Year! How about this month’s stunning cover? I want to thank Drs. Bobby Mukkamala and Nita Kulkarni for finding time in their busy schedules to make it happen for us.

Dear Readers, As I write this letter, Flint just finished hosting another Crim Festival of Races, on the heels of a fantastic 10th Annual Back to the Bricks that had Downtown revved up for a whole week. Crim participants and spectators turned out in force and luckily, the weather cooperated (if you like humidity). The

Dear Readers, You’ll notice that we depart a bit from our usual content in this month’s issue. The MCM team got to talking about how August is such an exciting time of year in Flint – events will take place that attract people from all around the world! For that reason, we decided to create an

Dear Readers, June was a busy and historic month for Flint. My City was the signature sponsor of “the pARTy” 2014 at the Flint Institute of Arts, and what a party it was. Co-chaired by Shannon Easter White and Raghad Farah, the planning committee executed the “Miami Chic” theme to perfection. It was one of

Dear Readers, So great to see the late spring green! I think we’re all ready to celebrate the coming of summer, such a great time in Michigan and Downtown Flint. Speaking of celebrations… It should be obvious from our cover that we’re celebrating our first birthday. Many thanks to Miss Evelyn at Rolls ‘R’ Ready

Dear Readers, I never get tired of talking about My City and as always, there are plenty of things in this issue for me to talk about. In addition to comments about the photography and design of our magazine, I get great feedback on our content – particularly the variety. As each issue develops and
