Eat a Halo Burger
A Flint Original since 1923, Halo QPs have been delighting Flint folk for almost a century! A definite must-try for you out-of-towners.
Know the Weather Ball
More than a just piece of the Flint skyline, the Citizens Bank Weather Ball has been forecasting since 1956. There is nothing better than being able to know what the weather will do just by looking at a blinking colorful ball. Learn the poem here.
Enjoy a Flint-Style Coney Dog
With their factories located right here in Flint, a Koegel's Vienna with Abbott's Meats Coney Sauce is the only way to enjoy a true Flint-Style Coney. Many former Michiganders will stock up on both while re-visiting the state. Did you know that A&W Restaurants only "serve the curve?"
Find Out What's On the Hammerburg Rock
My dad told me that the rock that's constantly being painted at Hammerburg and I-69 actually started out the size of a brick. All the layers of paint have caused it to grow to the size of a small bus. You never know what it will read from day to day -- the well-known, and unlikely, landmark has famously carried everything from memorial messages to birthday wishes over the years.
Visit FWC Berston Field House
Say hello to Jason Crutchfield, and check out his training facility. It was here that Claressa Shields went when she was 11-years-old and wanted to be coached. Today, Flint is proud of our hometown Olympic Gold Medalist!
