July 21, 2011 Back to the Bricks chairman Al Hatch says efforts are underway to erect more than a dozen statues of historic auto figures in the downtown area in conjunction with the annual "Back to the Bricks" event. The statues would be located around the downtown area, and in the college campus area. The first statue to go up would be that of Louis Chevrolet. It would honor him in this, the 100th anniversary of his namesake auto company.

June 8, 2011 About a month ago, I talked about the Back to the Bricks Michigan Mitten tour and how the group was in the planning stages of the event. We talked to co-chair Karen Bolton this morning and the tour starts on Friday, June 17 and you still have time to be a part of the event.
I must admit, with all the crazy weather we had throughout May, I almost forgot that Memorial Day is the unofficial start to Summer around here. It took a couple of 90-degree days put things back into focus for me. You too?
In honor of Memorial Day, here are some sure-fire signs that Summer has returned to the Vehicle City.
May 17, 2011 Planning continues for Back to the Bricks, which will take place in August. Last week, I mentioned the Michigan Mitten Promo tour, which is one of the new venues for Back to the Bricks and today, Chairman & Founder Al Hatch talked about Tune-Up week, which is also new this year.

When we were at Back to the Bricks last summer, I noticed how much Downtown Flint has come back to life. The beauty is returning with new buildings, new restaurants, renovations, (we won't mention the Genesee Towers), and the good ol' Weather Ball.
January 24, 2011 It looks like the "Back To The Bricks" excitement has grown in the suburbs. Now, it's doubling its length and expanding to five new communities.
