its the old hotel.. build in the 1920's sometime. Really nice on the inside. City's too dead to support it.

Wasn't the Durant hotel up for sale for the symbolic price of $1?

that sounds like a good price, but just imagine the costs of getting it back up to code and then keeping it running. yikes!

Right, that's the Durant Hotel. They've been threatening to fix it up for a long time, but yes, it'll probably take a lot of money to do that.
I've seen photos of the inside, which is very cool.

My Dad worked at the Durant Hotel parking lot back in the 1960's - it was the classiest hotel in Flint back then, and the only place to stay for stars and dignitaries. Dad made decent money at the parking lot, with tips and all.
I really miss the Flint of that time... alas, never to be again.

Flint's actually not as bad as people think. Go downtown on a Friday night and you'll see tons of people down there bar and restaurant hopping. With the university down there, the central business district is making a come back!
