Dear Readers, How ‘bout that serene scene on the cover? Greater Flint citizens are embracing the chance to get a new view of the city from the river with Kayak Flint – a nonprofit project of the Flint Watershed Coalition created to protect, promote and improve the river and its watershed. What a great recreational

Dear Readers, This month marks our eighth anniversary – nearly 100 issues (actually, more than 100 when you count our quarterly Wellness magazines.) Our team is dedicated to creating a quality publication and the feedback we get confirms it. Last year, our seventh anniversary passed without fanfare due to lockdown – we couldn’t produce a

Dear Readers, As I’ve often reflected on “this time last year” when I write my letter, I find myself feeling fortunate that Team My City can offer you a May issue this year! With all the world’s continued craziness, I hope your lives are beginning to return to normal – whatever that is. By definition,

Dear Readers, When I wrote last year’s April letter, my team was deciding whether or not we could move forward with our publication due to the pandemic. We decided to go for it and make it the best magazine we could under strange operating conditions. Most unusual was our typically-packed “My Haps” section which featured

Dear Readers, I love this issue’s cover! It’s a nod to Women’s History Month – “Rosie the Riveter” is the most recent installment in the Automobile Heritage bronze statue collection at Bishop Airport. Funded by Back to the Bricks and the Flint Women’s Forum, the statue is a symbol of women’s empowerment and American feminism.

Dear Readers, We have always been proud to celebrate Black History Month in our February issue, and while we’ve highlighted the contributions and achievements of dozens of African American individuals over the years, I feel we’ve just scratched the surface. This year, our “past and present” theme profiles leaders in education, sports, arts, government, medicine

Dear Readers, Happy New Year! Cheers to waving 2020 goodbye! (I have another hand gesture in mind.) Typically, our January issue highlights a selection of stories from the previous year. Team My City was so disappointed to be unable to produce magazines in May and June due to the state-mandated COVID shutdown. And while our

Dear Readers, In each month since the pandemic, writing this letter has been a challenge. While our team has not encountered a shortage of stories to highlight, the challenge lies in focusing on the positive while so many are still struggling. But we press on. Of course, it’s easy to draw attention to things that

Dear Readers, On last year’s September cover, the artwork highlighted our article on Greater Flint’s “gridiron greats” as we prepared to celebrate the high school and college football season. How our lives have changed. Also last September, we featured hundreds of faces in our coverage of local events including Taste in Fenton, Flint River Flotilla,

Dear Readers, Who would ever imagine that My City subscription numbers would increase during a global health crisis? Well, they have! Maybe it’s the feel of a high-quality magazine in your hands as you flip through the glossy pages, drawn in and pleasantly surprised by what you find. Or, maybe you’re happy to have access

Dear Readers, My City Magazine is back! During the pandemic, we’ve all experienced changes in our lives, including Team My City. Since most businesses that subscribe, receive or sell MCM were shut down for 90 days, we decided not to publish in May and June. But July will be a different story as businesses continue

Dear Readers, As I write this, the world is experiencing a virus pandemic. I wondered, at one point, if we should still publish this issue. After some thought, my team and I decided to go forward and fulfill our commitment. Then, the “stay at home” order was issued, and all of us felt uncomfortable …
