East Village - Flint, Michigan

East Village - Flint, Michigan East Village - Flint is home to artists, educators, students, movers and shakers, all due east of downtown Flint, Michigan. Gee Whiz! They can have meetings.

We are an expansive area that only starts with the beautiful homes on East Street, just East of Downtown Flint. Some will tell you that it goes all the way East to Dort Highway, South the I-69 Expressway, and North to Robert T Longway Boulevard. Who can define any specific boundaries when there is no organized Neighborhood Association with the name East Village? How can you have a neighborhood wit

hout people who live there, people who need a voice, people who need a Neighborhood Association? There are Neighborhoods here that have a capital "N." They are the ones organized by organizers. They have people who live in their Neighborhood. They can do things. There are neighborhoods that have a lower case "n." They are defined by what the eye sees. See a nice park? You see a park neighborhood. See a college? You see a college neighborhood. Even without the organizers, you can still see with your own eyes. And so it goes with the East Village neighborhood of Flint. East of Downtown Flint. Home to the iconic East Village Magazine. But remember, it is a "neighborhood" and not a "Neighborhood." Thanks for reading this. Your comments are welcome. You might enjoy reading Connor Coyne. A much better writer. The following excerpt is from:
http://www.connorcoyne.com/blog/2011/10/flints-east-village-in-pictures-1-of-3/
"When the city does rebound, the East Village will be one of the quickest neighborhoods to recover, and those who have taken a risk on purchases here will be richly rewarded."

Water bill too damn high?
Chlorine got you down?
Well NOW you can do something about it!
Everybody knows now that Flint used elevated levels of chlorine to treat the water for maybe a year. Today the chlorine level is back to normal. I hope...
But did anyone tell you to change your toilet flapper?
What, wasting water and the cost of water isn't all that important?
Haha - maybe you work for the government!..
Here are the facts:
a) Chlorine attacks all toilet flapper valves
b) Your toilet valve is probably leaking
c} Leaks cost money
Simple as a-b-c..
If you don't need money, give me your money.
Replace that flapper and give me the money.
I won't just flush the money down the drain...
Here's the thing. If you don't stop the leaks you might as well just take all your 10 and 20 dollar bills and flush them down the toilet. Yeah, that will work...
As for me, I choose to replace all my toilet flappers.
(Some flappers can be repaired with a low cost seal ring)..
Peace and Love.
Power to the money savers!
Down with the money flushing water wasters!

LEAD still in your house?

Did you know?

An EPA Chemical Engineer, who does not want to be quoted, said that water at the bottom of our hot water tanks will someday be the subject of further recommendations.

Lead is being found in sediment that settles at the bottom of these tanks.

And YES, Lead in your hot water can AND DOES contaminate the cold water side of your combination hot & cold faucets.

[ Pssst: Water storage tanks also have a known connection to Legionella Pneumonia in some limited circumstances. ]

Water storage tanks should have the sediment drained off the bottom. In most basements this is an easy thing to do. [ Always follow tank manufacturer's maintenance instructions ]

How do we get the word out?

What do you think?

Do you like the name, "East Village," for the residential area next to the Flint Cultural Center?

We humbly ask for your support for a sign, built up off a small mound of soil and grass, at the northeast corner of East Third Street and North Chavez (the northbound service drive for the I-475 expressway).

And it could say simply, "Welcome to East Village"

Here is our thoughts:

A neighborhood sign has the potential for adding to our enjoyment of the neighborhood and is a worthy goal. When someone asks, "Where do you live?" You can say, "East Village" and, unlike now, people will know where you live.

We are due East of downtown Flint. We start with the beautiful and distinctive homes on East Street and also includes East Second Street, East Third Street and East Court Street.

For many people entering Flint from the south, from the I-475 expressway, this is their first impression of the City of Flint. Some of these people are visitors to the Flint Cultural Center institutions: Whiting Auditorium, Sloan Museum, Flint Institute of Arts, Dort Music Center and the Longway Planetarium. Some come in to visit the Flint Arts Fair and my favorite, the Sloan Auto Show.

It follows that a positive neighborhood name and neighborhood identity can be very beneficial.

What do you think? Would you like to see a sign at East Third Street and NB Chavez? "Welcome to East Village" - Please comment below.
