It was just a few years ago that the city of Flint, Michigan, went through a major water crisis and now the Flint River is suffering from a new oil-based spill.
You may think you know Flint inside and out, but until you've kayaked your way down the Flint River, you haven't seen it all.
My birthday was this past weekend, and my family got me a really cool present. They reserved a kayaking trip down the Flint river through Kayak Flint...
I spent a lot of my younger years in Flushing and the river areas are actually really nice. You typically wouldn't think that about the Flint River. The bridges and paths are a great place to take the kids. Now residents are trying to raise some money to resurface one of the bridges.
Automobiles have come along way, but to my knowledge they cannot float. This one can't nor could the vehicle that was also pulled out of the Flint River last week too. Last weeks incident involved a male drunk driver. This latest incident involves an elderly woman. The exact cause of the accident is not known at this time.
The City of Flint announced today it has retained a team of urban water experts from Veolia North America to conduct an analysis of the city's water system.
Time to fill up as many pitchers, buckets and bottles with as much tap water as you can. April 20th is not only Easter and a beloved stoner holiday, but it also marks the last time many Flint residents can turn on the faucet and not get water from the Flint River.
Get ready to hear your kids yell "Mom! Another severed finger came out of the faucet!" That's right, people. Soon the water that comes out of your tap will be coming from the Flint River, which is now used mostly for body-dumping.
