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 of votes poured in!
The biggest vote-getters are typically restaurants – people love the eats in Greater Flint! Keeping a perfect win streak going, Uncle Ray’s Dairyland in Fenton was again the City’s Choice for ice cream. It’s National Ice Cream Month, so Team My City decided to share some memories and our faves. You really don’t need an excuse to enjoy ice cream … Do you go for the cup or the cone? And, fans of food truck fare have a new place to get their fix in Downtown Flint with another project of Communities First, Inc. Check out Foodie Commons @The Flower Shop. Sounds like fun!
Also happening Downtown, the Genesee County arts community had much to celebrate this spring. The Buckham Fine Arts Project is marking four decades of providing a local exhibition and performance venue that has endured and thrived, and their celebration continues. And, the inspiring talents of many local student-artists from more than 20 high schools and the UM-Flint were showcased in two exhibitions hosted at the Greater Flint Arts Council’s Downtown gallery space.
Summer’s all about food and fun, but we always make room to inform our readers about people doing good work to help others. What’s better than creating opportunities for people to fulfill their dreams? Genesee County will soon have a Miracle League baseball field where kids and adults can play the game regardless of physical or mental disability, a decade-long project finally coming to fruition. Fantastic!
It’s the season of cool things going on in Greater Flint! Get ready for the Back to the Bricks® events scheduled for this month, including the all new Road Rally on July 17. Visit backtothebricks.org for details of the exciting Main Event Week in August.
Of course, there’s much more in this issue – grab a cold drink, get outside on the deck and spend some quality time with My City. And as we celebrate America’s Independence Day, don’t forget to pause and be thankful for our freedom.
Thanks for reading, and God Bless America!
