But in a city filled with gutted and ransacked buildings, the library has for the most part stayed intact. Perhaps even the looters have a respect for the services once provided there.
I had to go to a power plant in n/e flint a week and a half ago, had to take a detour because there was a shooting and the cops had everything shutdown. Leaving the plant, the workers told me a fast way to get back on the hwy followed by "don't make any complete stops."
There are far worse neighborhoods in Flint than that one they name. I worked in that neighborhood for 6 years, and often was down there at 3-4 am to open the office up. Though we had a lot of thefts, and dumping in the area, we also had Johns beating hookers in the neighboring parking lot.
In the 6 years I was there (the named area) the Taco Bell manager got shot, and a John and his hooker got whacked on Lapeer Rd.
Robert T, Dayton Ave, Dupont, Clio Rd, Pierson Rd, or any of the "state named" streets are much worse areas.
I had to do service calls in a lot of those areas sometimes when I worked at the Pierson Rd Home Depot, that got sketchy - i was the main reason I kept my '87 caprice around. I would take that on a call rather than my lifted Wrangler - it actually made a huge difference in how I was treated down there.

It seems like the only people that think Kettering is worth the 6x the money, are people that went there. I will get the same jobs as the other interns I work with and save myself over 100,000. To each their own
I think any time you have a university in a very urban area that is filled with young, naive, idealistic children you will have great opportunity for crime.
Like I said it seemed like every other day I would see the emails from the WSU security alerts about someone being mugged, someone's car being stolen, someone being raped, etc...
After a few weeks of having to walk waaaaaay out to my car at 10:00 at night along half lit sidewalks, alone, I decided I was going to take the necessary measures to ensure my safety...
I have to agree with the kettering grads.....There's a reason I don't place very many kettering grads....they already have jobs.
