When it comes to emergency preparedness in our homes, most of us: 1) think we’re prepared and would know what to do; 2) we really just don’t want to think about it, OR: 3) we just don’t know where to begin to get prepared.

According to the Pareto principle, 80 percent of consequences come from 20 percent of causes. A formula frequently used to identify an organization’s problems and strengths, it is also the guiding principle behind the notion that most of the time, women only wear about 20 percent of the clothing items in their closets. Of course, that means 80 percent of what is in our closets goes unused.

My personal interior design style is inspired by many factors. I gravitate toward peaceful art with soft colors, textures of fringe, warm leathers, mixing patterns and warm woods against airy backgrounds. If possible, I also love to make the interior space complement the home’s exterior style, its age and setting. I like the choices inside to reflect the overall character of the home. For example, you would feel surprised and confused if you walked into a cute bungalow that had charming details on the outside and modern, simplistic or sleek finishes on the inside. I would want to bring that outside feeling indoors.

When Billy Durant took a call from Ben Briscoe, President of the Maxwell-Briscoe Company, a chain reaction started that has yet to end. That simple conversation and the in-person meeting that followed at Buick planted the seed of consolidation in Durant’s mind that would lead to the formation of General Motors and the triumph of Flint.

Genesee County’s Ultimate 4th of July Guide

 

July Reading List

July is the perfect time to slow down, relax, and get lost in a good book. Whether reading on a porch swing, at the beach, or during a quiet summer evening, books have a unique way of improving the day. Reading reduces stress, sharpens the mind, and gives readers a chance to escape from daily pressures for a little while. In a season filled with busy schedules and constant screens, taking time to read can feel refreshing and calming — a simple habit that makes summer days more meaningful and enjoyable.

Vacation Mode

Lately, we have been trying to dip into vacation mode with a little more regularity. However, this has been met with no small amount of difficulty. With plane ticket prices so high, gas prices through the roof, and everything more expensive than it used to be, we have instead tried to find staycation opportunities closer to home.

So you wanna open a restaurant, huh?

EDITORS LETTERS

Editor’s Letter

Last month My City celebrated its 13th year as your local magazine, focused on covering all of the creative, artistic, successful, positive individuals and events of the greater Flint area. This month, I am celebrating one year with My City. The previous publisher and editor, Vince Lorraine and Sherron Barden, created a fantastic local magazine that was filled from cover to cover with interesting stories, and reputable businesses ready to take care of all of your needs. After leaving the newspaper business after more than 20 years, I stepped into this role with the new publisher, Laura Constable, knowing that we didn’t want to mess with a good thing. We, however, added a few new features that allowed us to showcase even more local people.

Editor’s Letter

And now, we’re throwing the sports schedules of two grandsons into the mix.
