Flint is a cryptocrystalline, quartzose sedimentary rock - its geologic name is "chert". A famous occurrence of high-quality, colorful flint is Flint Ridge, Ohio. Prehistoric American Indians quarried this material to make arrowheads, spearpoints, and other tools. Flint is the "official state gemstone" of Ohio.
The greenish-colored material here is probably from the Roy Miller Quarries at Flint Ridge, which target the Middle Pennsylvanian Vanport Flint.
Flint knife with a fish-tail shaped blade.
The handle is covered in gold leaf and decorated with scenes typical of Naqada II phase paintings found on pottery vases. Three female figures, probably dancers, stand in a line holding one another´s hand, the first one to the left holds a fan. The four wavy lines on the right hand side of the handle represents the water of the Nile, while the other side of the handle shows a boat with two cabins.
The knife was not intended for use in daily life, but rather had a religious function and was used for rituals.
Naqada II, provenance unknown.

Demolition progress around the main entrance of the former White Flint Mall, as of October 17, 2015.

The former home of the YWCA in downtown Flint. It has since moved to a different, smaller facility (also downtown) where its funds will be put to better use in serving those it seeks to help, versus going toward the substantial costs of maintenance of, and utilities for, this building.
Still, I always thought this was one of the most beautiful buildings in downtown Flint. I am sad it's slated for demolition, but I'm glad that new housing will be built in its footprint.

Downtown Flint, Michigan.
Saturday, August 19, 2017.
Courtland Center, formerly Eastland Mall, in Burton, MI.
This mall opened in 1968 with three anchors: The Fair (a local store based in Flint) to the west, Federals (a Detroit-based chain) to the south and Woolco to the east. Federals closed in 1977 and briefly became a Robert Hall Village before JCPenney took over. Early key tenants included a Walgreens (later Perry) drugstore, a Winkleman's clothing store, a movie theater and both A&P and Kroger.
When Woolco closed in 1983, the space was split between another Detroit-based chain (Crowley's) and additional mall retailers. The Fair became Mervyns in 1987.
Courtland Center held its own against Genesee Valley until 2000, when Crowley's closed. Old Navy then took the back half of the store, but left the front half vacant. In only a couple years, tenants began emptying out. Still, the situation wasn't too dire yet; the pseudo-food court was still full, and some local stores were doing brisk business. Also, to fill in more space, JCPenney had a home store and, of all things, an intimates store.
By 2003, Tucker Development embarked on a major expansion plan. Old Navy moved within the mall, and both it and the majority of the old Woolco space were re-divided among three big box stores: Staples (in Old Navy's former digs), Dunham's Sports and Jo-Ann Etc. The former two relocated from nearby, while Jo-Ann moved from the former A&P space. JCPenney moved to the former Mervyns after that chain left Michigan in 2006. Steve & Barry's took over the former JCPenney, but it only lasted 7 months. The theater closed, reopened, closed, reopened several times.
Moving from Penney's to Dunham's, these are all the tenants I recall:
*Max 10 is about 2/3 of the former Winkleman's, which was later Manhattan 101. This space was vacant for maybe 6 years. JCPenney "bumped out" the old Mervyn's building some, gobbling up the other 1/3 of Max 10 and what had been a Miracle Ear.
*Payless was Bailey's Bridal.
*Next after Payless was a Claire's, then a GameStop (which was still a Babbage's as late as 2009).
*Next after Famous Footwear was an Afterthoughts, later an Icing.
*Next after Media Replay was an Avon store.
*Flair was a Sibley Shoes, then a clothing store called D Block.
*Kay Jewelers was Fred Meyer Jewelers.
*Above that, from bottom to top, were Fanny Farmer (later Cotton Plus), After Hours, Sbarro and Memories.
*El Cozumel was Aladdin's Castle.
*Going down the right-hand side of the middle wing, from top to bottom, were Duke Communications, Arby's (later a coney island), Dollar Tree and McDonald's. Interestingly, the Arby's was a walkup counter, while McDonald's and Sbarro both had full seating.
*The current Miracle Ear was something else that I forget the name of.
*Below that used to be Merle Norman, which was once only half that size, and later Holographic Designs or something. Both Baskin-Robbins and Carousel Hot Dogs used to be here, but I'm not sure which was where.
*The corner spot was Osterman Jewelers.
* Shoes + More was Lady Foot Locker, which stayed open for at least a few months after the "regular" Foot Locker closed.
* Going from left to right, the next spaces after that were Cotton Plus, Enchanted Woman and the second location for York Country Designs. Cotton Plus was previously Northern Reflections, and York Country was the original location for Rainbow.
* Between Bath & Body and Pearle Vision was a RadioShack.
* Pearle Vision was NuVision, I think.
* To the right of Pearle Vision was Wilson's Leather, later 810 Casuals. Both of these spaces were probably the diner when Walgreens was around.
* The big junior anchor was Walgreens, then Perry Drugs. It closed around 1995 and became JCPenney Home Store.
* From there, going left to right again, were Hard Wear clothing store, Foot Locker, Bo-Rics Hair Salon and DOC Eyeworld (later Lens Crafters).
* Dunham's Sports gobbled up five spaces: Royal Touch, Sports Vault, the original location of Foxy Nails (which, before that, was the original location of B. Dalton), the original location of York Country and one spot that was vacant even in 2002.
* Foxy Nails was Jewel Restore.
* Best Beauty was Global Gifts.
* 810 Casual was Rave.
* The corner spot next to GNC was last used as a music store.
* Between Deb Shop and Valley Tent was Kay-Bee Toys.
* Valley Tent was B. Dalton's second location.
* The big spot next to Finish Line was Marianne, then JCPenney's Intimate department.
* The small spot next to Sears Portrait Studio was Zales.
* Connections was, I think, the first location for Bailey Bridal.
* The center anchor, as mentioned, was Federals->Robert Hall Village->JCPenney->Steve & Barry's.
* The corner spot next to the anchor was Kay Jewelers' old location. Next to it was a clothing store (Lerner?) that was later Campus Den.
* Planet Fitness was Old Navy. Before that, it was f.y.e. (by way of Record Town), Payless and Spencer Gifts (later Sports Vault).
* Rainbow/Kid Spot was Disney Store.
* The next spot after that was Southwest Plus, which was something else previously.
* The corner spot next to Penney's was Hallmark, then a local gift shop. JCPenney's expansion took out another corner store that had been Big Boy but was vacant for about 10 years. The tail end of Big Boy is now a storage area in the bottom left.
And finally, the outside suites:
* Dollar & Party was A&P, then Jo-Ann Fabrics.
* Old Country Buffet and the two spots next to it were all Kroger originally. Old Country Buffet itself was Duff's Famous Smorgasbord until maybe the late 80s. The tiny spaces next to it were a police substation and an alterations shop.
yesterday, i got to play with natural dyes all day. i set up 5 traditional natural dye vats: 2 black walnut, madder, tumeric and osage orange. inspired by india flint, i tore up an old linen tablecloth and used this cloth to experiment with her direct application techniques. i arranged leaves, onion skins and bloodroot pieces on the squares of wet linen, then folded and bound and into the dyepots. i am very pleased with the result. opening these little bundles was like opening cloth gifts!

Building work began in 1277 built of Millstone Grit & Sandstone Flint was the first castle of what would later become known as Edward I's "Iron Ring". A chain of fortresses designed to encircle North Wales and oppress the Welsh.
Kathryn Clark began her Foreclosure Quilts series in 2007 at the onset of the subprime mortgage scandal in the United States, which caused a devastating increase in foreclosed homes. The pattern of this quilt is based on a map of one of Flint, Michigan's neighborhoods. The rectangles cut from the neutral linen to reveland the red fabric beneath represent foreclosed lots.
(This is Flint, the city whose water supply was poisoned by pernicious government policy.)

I'm having more troubles with his head flipping back lately. Does anyone know where to buy kips or something that would fit his neckhole? Or maybe another solution?
This was totally unusable but having downloaded Photoshop, which is now free, I have managed to come up with a passable copy, which was not possible with MS Digital Image.
FRO 497C, a Bedford SB5 with Duple Bella Vega body, is seen with Bob Flint at Nettleton, Wiltshire. New to Whitehouse, Letchworth in 1965, she came to Flints via Sparkes, down the road at Colerne, and Day at Kingswood, who took over Sparkes in June 1978. Days disposed of her to Flints just three months later. At the last count she was still a traveller's home, at this link: www.travellerhomes.co.uk/?p=9782
