Has anyone been to the Machine Shop off Dort Highway in Flint as of late? I am considering coming up for the Hinder show this Sunday (12-9-12).

I like the machine shop. Played there a few times, watched bands a few times. It's not a huge place, but it's not small either. Easy to find and figure out how to get home from there, nothing like Harpos in D. Fuck, before GPS making it to Harpos was next to impossible.

I used to live in Harpos in my teens. We'd skip school on Friday's because of Thursday nights. 1 Dollar pitcher beer(pabst) or 1 dollar pitcher tequila sunrise (watered down of course) lol

One time I played at the machine shop, a dude pulled in with some bang in his trunk (I think he went to the bingo hall next door), we got done with our set, went out to load up and his trunk was wide open with cables hanging out and no sounds. Brave fuckers out there, the place was packed and people were everywhere.

Flint's a nice place.....

1. Flint, Mich.
> Violent crimes per 1,000: 23.4
> Population: 102,357
> 2011 murders: 52
> Median income: $22,672
> Unemployment rate: 18.9%
According to the FBI examined, no city with more than 100,000 residents had a higher violent crime rate than Flint. In 2011, there were 2,392 incidents of violent crime in Flint, which has a population just above 100,000. That same year, there were just 1,246 violent crimes in all 10 of the safest cities in America — which have 13 times as many residents as Flint among them. Flint has the second-highest murder rate and the highest rates of aggravated assault, burglary and arson in the nation. According to Flint Mayor Dayne Walling: “there are too many guns on the street and it’s easy for individuals with evil motives to take another human being’s life.” Though the violent crime has long been a problem in Flint, in 2010 the city laid off 20 of its 140 police officers, a decision that diminished both the police’s street presence and response times to crime.

Well the crowd I hang with and I are pretty ugly, so most don't bother us ;) Some may consider us "biker" types. We hang with some fine women though, and that has caused us to clear a few joints out ... But hey, that's all in a nites entertainment :bigjoint:

I'm from the nasty and people aren't even that bold here. They'll steal your shit, but not right out in the open with people around. Plus that strip where The Machine Shop is at isn't all that ghetto.

I love flint and that Dayton family song. Where the fuck am I from. Flint town f f f f flint town. We got grass growing in the 200$ abandos. Seriously. I bought a house for $200.00. 2 story with a full basement. They make bars and metal doors for a reason.
 
Saw the Misfits and Megadeath play at Harpos, I don't know about the Machine shop, I see a lot of ads for the place, wouldn't hinder be more suited for Soaring Eagle Casino...
