Riverfront Center is a part of the University of Michigan-Flint complex on the Flint River. The 16-story building has academic space, student housing and banquet/conference facilities. Owned by the Upton Reinvestment Corporation, it was donated to UM in 2015. Prior to that UM had been using the building, which houses the business school. Upton had purchased the building in 2009. It had been built in 1981 as a Hyatt Regency Hotel and soon became a landmark building in downtown Flint.
Milner House/Cornwall Building
624 S. Grand Traverse St.
Built in 1870
This home was built for Er Milner, a successful Flint businessman and one of the pioneers of lumbering in Michigan. The architect was Elijah Meyer.
The Cornwall Building preserves the beauty of late 1800s architecture, intricately carved wood work and local Flint history. This rich history is combined with a modern purpose as the Cornwall Building currently serves as the home of the following local Flint businesses and law practices:

Flint says Happy Furry Friday to all.

At one time, Flint had two Howard Johnson's motor lodges: one on Miller Rd. (now the site of an Applebee's and a Speedway) and this one in Burton. It stayed HoJo into the 1990s, then became Travelodge, Econo Lodge (and maybe Travelodge again!) and finally Budget Host before it became America's Best Inn by the time I took this picture (2004). The restaurant apparently closed in 1985 and last became something called After Shock.
As of 2011, the back 1/3 of the motel is still standing, seemingly unoccupied; the rest has been torn down. See a shot of the remains here.
Note the reflection of the Mervyns sign from the mall across the street. That store is now a JCPenney.

I'm walking around the beach, thinking, "Hmm, black stone, weathers white, fractures conchoidally, occurs in clay...." Brain is coming up with nothing for minutes together. Then the knap drops and I remember, "Flint!" Haven't seen one in thirty-five years, maybe.

This odd-looking Dairy Queen is a strange hybrid of an A-frame and the traditional "split roof" DQ. I don't remember it ever being in operation as a DQ, so I think it closed in the early 1990s.
After its closure, it became Jr. Varsity Root Beer, which retrofitted it with a drive-in canopy and added a big V on the front. It later became a pizzeria, then a Mexican restaurant in the early 2000s. After a few years of vacancy, it has finally reopened as a diner. I think one of the previous tenants inverted the V and put a "leg" in it to make the A seen here.
This is a shot of the former Mervyns at Courtland Center in Burton (Flint), Michigan, taken March 2007. It turned out dark because the mall was just closing for the night.
This store was originally a local department store called The Fair (which had at least three other locations in Flint) until about 1987, when Mervyns took it over. The store, and all the other Mervyns locations in Michigan, closed in spring 2006 when the chain left Michigan.
At the end of 2007, this Mervyns building was bumped out slightly into the mall and converted into a new JCPenney store, which opened March 1, 2008. Prior to this, JCPenney occupied the mall's central anchor (originally Federal's, then Robert Hall Village), as well as two auxilary stores (a home store in a former Perry Drug and an intimates store in a former Marianne). The old JCPenney then operated as Steve & Barry's from May to December 2008.

One thing you will see a lot of in North Norfolk is flint. Found naturally in chalk, with layers in various shapes and sizes, flint is almost pure silica, but any impurities give different colours: brown field flints eroded from the chalk around Fakenham; black flint around Thetford and Swaffham; chalk-covered grey flints north of North Walsham; light grey around Holt; rounded beach flints near Wells-next-the-Sea, Sheringham and Cromer.
Flint was a freely available building material, and so long before brick-making was widespread in the later Middle Ages, flint, either knapped or unknapped (the word knap comes from the Dutch/German word krappen, to crack), was widely used to construct walls, cottages, castles and churches.
Flint’s very hard mineral composition is similar to glass, and when worked correctly, is capable of a very sharp cutting edge. Norfolk has become famous for its evidence of early human occupation.Flint tools have been found with mammoth bones that date back 60,000 years. Even older at Happisburgh on the coast flint tools over 800,000 years old were unearthed in 2010. This is the oldest evidence of human occupation anywhere in the UK.
