As I write this, Dallas, TX is dealing with a sub-zero wind chill … What? Meanwhile, here in Michigan, we’re looking forward to a welcome “warm-up” to 30 degrees – for some, that means T-shirt weather! Will all the snow melt by spring? Who knows. Last year, it was pushing 70 degrees on March 4 and by the first day of spring, we were back to freezing. Classic Michigan.
Speaking of hot topics – education is making headlines daily, and for good reason. Few things shape our society more. In this issue, we’re diving into a variety of top-notch educational opportunities in Greater Flint. From cutting-edge university programs to innovative library and museum initiatives, learning is evolving, inspiring, and leaving a lasting impact.
Another topic that’s been generating plenty of buzz: Nutrition. Eating well is the foundation of good health, and in this month’s “Eats” feature, we’re highlighting The Sol Section Plant-based Cafe & Juice Bar, a new venture tucked inside Totem Books on Court St. in Flint. Whether you’re a die-hard plant-based eater or just curious, their creative and healthy menu is turning heads. The food looks (and sounds) fantastic!
Last month, the Greater Flint community braved the bitter cold and gathered to celebrate Black History Month, our thriving arts scene, and – of course – our love for all things automotive. We have a lot of great photos! And in case you’re already dreaming of warmer days, Back to the Bricks® has posted their 2025 spring and summer event schedule.
We made it through a tough Michigan winter – now, let’s get ready for some great times ahead.
Thanks for reading and Happy Spring!
