    To the right of Lippincott after you turned left off Center Road, there's some small neighborhood streets, one is called Evergreen Parkway, at that corner were two small buildings that at one time were single classroom schools......I went to the one that was at that main intersection, then the corner where the second one is located is cornered with the street that I grew up in the 60s & early 70s before I moved to Davison in 1972......sadly, that old neighborhood on Providence Street has really gone down hill since I left......used to miniature golf next to Southmoor @ Tropical Falls......sad indeed to see it go......had you gone just past the Center Road/Lippincott Blvd. on the Center Road side, you would have turned left onto a small side street called Providence Street......I grew up in the 60s about 2 blocks down that street @ the corner of Providence & Dexter......

    "Burton, Michigan Is An OK Flint Suburb." Have you been to Burton, Michigan in this millennium? This is one of the most blighted slums in the United States. Flint and surrounding neighborhoods are considered some of the most dangerous in the Western Hemisphere for cities of less than 100,000. In 2012, the murder rate in Flint, Michigan reached nearly 1 in 100! Steer a wide course around this place folks.

  • @jKLa

    It's interesting that Flint declined so badly early on as a region that you now have older "inner suburbs" bordering Flint that have been stable or declining for decades now but are still in large part rural to semi rural communities, with just a few more prosperous outer suburbs to the south and east, and then a semi affluent rural to semi-rural/barely suburban rung around the Genesee county periphery.

      Makes sense actually. The poor and crime ridden run down part of Burton is overwhelmingly white but it has nothing to do with Kentucky. It's not an Appalachian enclave or anything. There are low income whites in largely smaller or lower density semi- concentrations through the country, though many very large metropolitan areas don't have such places anymore or if they do they are few in number and generally on the far outskirts. Smaller to mid size cities and their suburbs often have them in relative abundance on the other hand.

    Did anyone else grow up pronouncing Hemphill as Hemp Hill and not Hemp Phil?

    Nobody considers Burton a Suburb of Flint, Burton is just as bad as Flint crime and drug wise. Most of the dispensaries we have are in Burton. Suburbs are Grand Blanc area.

      Everyone considers Burton a suburb of Flint just as much as Grand Blanc is considered to be one.

      A suburb is just basically a smaller place outside of a main one, so yes Burton is a suburb of Flint, as is Clio or Swartz Creek or Flushing or Davison, etc…

      Burton is a suburb if Flint. It's actually still quite a bit less poor and crime ridden then Flint overall so no, it's not just as bad though it is a declining community with a pretty bad area. That poor crime ridden area of Burton is mostly white btw!
