Flint River
The Flint River looks pretty in this image, but it is one of Michigan's most polluted waterways, having been a dumping ground for years of industrial waste. A 2014 decision to begin drawing drinking water from the Flint River would put the Flint into the national spotlight and have consequences that continue to be felt. The bridge in the foreground carries Garland Street-Beach Street while the building in the distance is the Northbank Center on the University of Michigan-Flint campus.
