We’re excited to announce the 2024 City’s Choice Award Winners! There are many repeat recipients, some have been chosen every year since 2015 and a few are new to the list. Throughout this issue, you will notice many of them expressing their appreciation for the recognition. We have lots of loyal CCA voters – thousands

Another anniversary issue – Volume 11 of My City is now (as they say), “in the books.” It’s hard to believe that we had another dozen team meetings to discuss content and met another dozen deadlines. Always working a month ahead really makes the time fly! Since 2013, we’ve been blessed with this opportunity to

Dear Readers, Team My City has always been known for sharing unique and compelling stories – often, our content is influenced by national observances, holidays, things to which we can all relate. This month, we chose several groups and individuals who are dedicated to making life better for their fellow humans in a variety of

Dear Readers, Ready or not … April is officially Home & Garden time! Some of my neighbors on Lake Fenton have had their docks in the water for about a month now; am I a slacker or are they overly eager? As I write this, we’re getting that (last?) big blast of snow to welcome

Dear Readers, As I write this letter, one would think spring has already arrived – I think most of us feel like we got a much-appreciated “pass” from Mother Nature this winter. I’m sure there are some snow enthusiasts who would not agree … I think we can all agree that one of the most

Dear Readers, With the holidays now behind us, February is also a busy month! The community will be showing up to support many organizations and events – plunging into frigid (not frozen?)

Dear Readers, Happy New Year! It’s hard not to fall into offering the typical clichés – “here’s to better times ahead” and “out with the old, in with the new!” But, as we look back at the impactful moments of our last 12-month journey, good and bad, we’re all wondering what 2024 will bring. Here’s

Dear Readers, As it has since 2019, the year’s final issue of My City features our choice for Greater Flint’s “Cityzen of the Year.” Be sure to read about Dr. Dallas Gatlin, who is retiring from his 14-year position as the devoted executive director of Carriage Town Ministries. We wish him a happy and healthy

Dear Readers, Let the holiday season begin! It seems like some community members and local retailers started getting ready for Christmas back in August but, hey – no judgment here. Let’s take a look at this month’s great content. While I personally have never been “inked”, tattoos are an artform I frequently admire on others.

Dear Readers, As we produced this issue, the hot August weather made it a little strange to be thinking about the holidays – but let’s face it, they will soon be upon us! We want to encourage participation in the upcoming community celebrations “Town by Town” as well as shopping locally for holiday gifts. The

Dear Readers, Who’s ready for fall? Every September, we feature photos of the huge crowds at Back to the Bricks® … a sure sign that the summer will soon be ending – a bittersweet time of year, for sure. But My City is here for it! This month, we highlight local First Responders, some of

Dear Readers, When I sit down to write these letters in which I talk about what’s great in the current magazine, I often reflect on the process of creating each issue. I get comments all the time about the variety of content we share each month. Many times, a story is suggested to us by
