Pretty soon a new brew pub, brazilian steakhouse, a new nightclub, 8 additional loft apartments and 12 white collar employees are coming downtown. On top of that, the berridge is being converted into market and affordable housing and the durant into student housing.

They took and enclosed the entire downtown area into a really neat mall. It actually enclosed about 15 city square blocks. I saw something similar to this in Columbus, OH as well. Not quite as extensive but it works the same way. I always thought if Flint did something similar to this it would work. Of course it would require quite abit of funding which I have no idea where that would come from. I know we do not need another mall in that town but, if it works in other cities then it should work in Flint too.
