If you've never visited the grounds of the C.S. Mott Estate, you probably should at some point in…read moreyour life. One of the most attractive and well-maintained properties in Genesee County, if not all of Flint, the estate is home to a rather lovely apple orchard and gorgeous gardens. If you're into horticulture/gardening on any level, then you will love the grounds. Occasionally, there are events hosted on-site for the public and I believe those are usually free. If you're any kind of Flint historian, you will note that a couple of scenes from Michael Moore's well-known documentary, Roger and Me, were shot on the estate. Here in Flint, we have the patronage and generosity of the Mott family to thank for many of our treasures in the cultural center and the family's donation of the Mott Estate is no exception. The C.S. Mott Estate is a definite must on any sightseeing tour around the city for tourists and is a cool place to visit from time to time for any local. It's definitely a bit of "local flavor" around these parts.

If you are in the Flint area and do not take advantage of the free weekend tours of the Applewood…read moreEstate, you are missing out. The Mott family has (and continues to) enriched the area so much through their generosity and dedication to the people of Flint. The estate and tours are just one example of how they do this. The tours of the house and garden are free (with reservations) during the warmer months. The docents are very friendly and knowledgeable and do their best to give visitors a feel for the family's charitable contributions to the area over the years. The house is warm and welcoming - the absolute opposite of the Biltmore Estate in almost every way. I, for one, view this as a great thing. Don't get me wrong, it's a gorgeous home but far more modest in scale and design than most of the other historic estates I have visited. You get a real sense of how the family lived - the guides will tell you during the tour that the home was designed for living rather than as a way to show off the family's wealth. The grounds are open to tour without reservations, but I strongly recommend making a reservation so that you get the most out of your time there. Very close to the Flint Art Institute (another local jewel).

Because I arrived early, I was able to park for free on the street a couple blocks away. The venue itself was very well maintained and very clean. Every staff person was friendly and helpful. Even the process for the meet and greet afterwards was done in an orderly fashion. Even the ticket prices were very affordable. I would highly recommend making the short trip. It's definitely worth it.

Unfortunately, it's fallen on some hard times over the years and has been open for events intermittently over the last few years. There is hope, however, for this beautiful old landmark to shine once again. There are plans for reinvestment into the Capitol Theatre, although over the years, there have been numerous stalled attempts at redevelopment and renewal. It's still gorgeous and the interior, while fading a little bit each passing year, still shows what this Art Deco era theatre was like back in its heyday. The Will Ferrell fllm, "Semi-Pro," was shot on location here about a decade ago. I have fond memories of going to a few concerts here before it closed when I was in high school. It was in a state of decline then, but it was still something to be seen. Shortly before it closed, there were attempts at improvements and renovations, and the Captiol Cafe (a cute little coffee shop) was open late nights upstairs, past the winding, spiral staircase. We used to hang out up there after shows on the weekend back when I was still in high school. Sadly missed. Any longtime Flint native should have some memories of the Captiol Theatre at some point.

A slightly above average experience when it comes to dealing with the local post office…read more We all know how frustrating it can be to do business at the post office. Be it standing in line, arguing about the merits of overnight delivery, ascertaining what happened to damaged or lost packages, we've all been there. When it comes to local post office locations, this one rates slightly higher than a few of the others around town. If I must use the post office (and let's be honest, we all have to every so often, even if we try not to), this is the location around Flint that I prefer to use above any other. I'll break the good and bad of this particular location as follows: Parking- it's woefully inadequate and the lot appears to have been laid out by someone who was stoned. There's too much unused "green space" where vital parking spaces are needed and no reason for it. The space between rows is so narrow that anything larger than a Mini Cooper dare not scoot through (especially in the winter during heavy snow, which piles up and narrows the rows to about half their original size). Yet, there's a considerable swatch of land untapped for parking. Hmm, go figure. Customer service- it's largely inconsistent, but has been better lately. The lines have traditionally been very long and they have a habit of only opening that last "special services" line if there is a line of epic length extending out the door (it happens more often than not) or a bizarre customs inquiry that requires attention. However, lately the lines have moved quicker than normal. I think they might just be doing their best right now to deal with the Christmas onslaught. Time will tell if the gridlock will make a comeback. As for pleasantness of the employees, they are super nice and always courteous, even apologizing when the line gets bogged down. Expediency/Accuracy- well, if you mail anything from this location, be it a check you owe the IRS at tax time, a Christmas gift, everyday mail, packages from Amazon, etc, chances are it will actually make it to its destination on time and intact. Problems with slow, lost or particularly damaged mail/packages have been ongoing at other USPS locations around town, but not at this one. In other words, if you do a lot of online shopping or have important documents or packages to ship, do it here and forgo the downtown Flint locations. What you send from those locations will either arrive late or disappear entirely. I wonder what the "Dead Letter" sections of some of those branches are like. I'm pretty certain some of my lost mail is there. Convenience- this location is fairly convenient in many respects. It's large, the doors are always open day or night, they are open on Saturday (Sundays in December to handle the Christmas holiday), they sell packing accoutrements, like tape, boxes, packing materials, etc, as well as gift wrap, bags, cards and so on, they rent P.O. boxes, and take passport photos. However, it would be nice if it wasn't so hard to make a left turn out of the parking lot. Car accident, anyone? Like I said, this location is passable and obviously better than other USPS sites in town. It's not great, but it's okay. It beats some of the downtown Flint locations on E. Boulevard, Flushing and Saginaw streets.
