7 Things That We Wish Were in Downtown Flint

It would be great if we could have a nice movie theater to watch some of the biggest blockbuster films.

If the theater could run specials for special events like Crim Race and Back To The Bricks.

Having a well manicured park downtown would great to have to hang out with friends and family.  I've never been to a park to just walk around or have picnics.  What about an outdoor ice skating rink?  Flint is cold enough to have one.

I think a bowling alley downtown would bring a lot of together to enjoy strikes, spares, and gutter balls.

I'm thinking more like Lucky Stripes style of bowling alley.

I don't think we need a mall downtown because that would be too awesome.  Residents in Flint may remember when Montgomery Ward was downtown.

Bring a department store downtown Flint and watch the shoppers come out.

Atwood Stadium is a staple in our community but in our perfect world, we'll move it downtown.  I know there is not a lot of space but we can make room.

Think about having all the area high school football games downtown and how exciting Friday night lights would be.

The Capitol Theater is already downtown so we just need to re-open the historic landmark.  Our #UpNext concerts are great at the Flint Local 432 but what if we have a superstar artist perform at the Capitol?

The Flint Community schools are turning things around but I think it would be great to have a state of the art high school in downtown Flint.  We do not have a lot of students to spread them out, place them in a great building downtown.
