I like how a casino brings lots of money to the city, but i do not like the increase in crime that they bring. I hope they build up the police before this casino is built.

A downtown arcade would attract teens,kids and gamers. Also it would be nice if there more development near China one,Farmers market and more pedestrian firendly streets.A comedy club wold do wonders for the downtown area. Finally have any of ya'll noticed a large area full of tree(ugly ones at that) near the post office and highway,somebody build like a clock tower or a small park there.

Come on Allan what do you
want to see downtown ? -
I know this would never happen, but why not? I'd love to see a streetcar system that takes people from downtown to the Farmer's Market, Cultural Center and Kearsley Park, and from downtown to Kettering, Mott Park, and my proposed new urban neighborhood on the old Chevy site.

You know never say never,If Tim Herman has been teeling us the truth about his projects,I am %100 certain that this would happen.

A larger & more expanded UM - Flint campus,a new building to join Flint's skyline,A fully operational and nationally known Capital theatre,more diverse restaurants including a 50s style family restaurant,more clothing retail and finally pedestrians from dusk til dawn.

Flint - For the first time in yrs. a coney island restaurant will be serving customers in downtown. George and Rocky Dedivanaj owners of Mega Coney Island in Fenton, plan to open a second eatery in the former McDonald's restaurant at King and First avenues.
George Dedivanaj said their father Zef, started the father started the family buisiness in Detroit about 10 yrs. ago.
There's a strong dispute among aficinados of the sauce-covered hot dog, but Dedivanaj said they don't take sides."We specialize in 2 different styles- The Original Flint Style and the Detroit style," he said.
In addition to offering both kinds of dressed-up hotdogs, the restaurant will offer grilled chicken, stacked sandwhiches, and a full breakfest menu, including omelets.
He said the restaurant, Which is in the final stages of renovations will have 20 to 25 full and part-time employees.
Dedivanaj said he has been looking for several locations for several yrs.
The building is less than 10 yrs. old. It wa built for McDonald's, Which opened in August 1995 and closed in April 2003.
Uptown Reinvestment Corp. bought the building as a defensive move.
Tim Herman, head of URC, said board members and other stakeholders downtown were concerned the building might become a liquor store.
"We're happy that we could secure that site and see a quality operator downtown," Herman said. "Another restaurant downtown is a good thing.
Dedivanaj said his family is working on something to bring back to downtown and added "We're looking toward the future."
Downtown once boosted several coney islands. In1965, four were in the short 2 blocks of Saginaw st. south of the river.
