What a whimsical find!…read more I was kind of disappointed to see French Flamingo had closed its doors, but was pleasantly surprised to find such a cute little boutique had taken up residence in its former location. I was browsing downtown when I came upon this new shop, which apparently launched this past spring. When I walked in, I was impressed by the super cute and eclectic selection of jewelry, clothing, accessories, tabletop items, and giftware. The shop, though located in a small space, was incredibly well-organized and attractively laid out. The giftware and tabletop items had a slightly unique flavor to them, not like stuff you see everyday in Target (not that there's anything wrong with Target, lol). Most of the merchandise was in the mid-price range or a bit higher, which is not unusual for the Holly market at all. Most of the niche shops in that area tend to trend a bit higher in price than other larger stores, anyway. I noticed right away a lot of super adorable tabletop items in pineapple, owl, sea or tropic motifs, all of which I like, especially the pineapple designs (after all, pineapples are the international symbol of welcome). I picked up a silver pineapple wine bottle stopper (quite heavy, I might add) for $20. It was too cute to pass up. Most of the shop seemed devoted to tabletop items and home decor, including cutting boards, glassware, dishes, serving platters, candles, and art, much of it on the "one of a kind" spectrum. Aside from the tabletop accessories and home decor, I spied some clothing, handbags, jewelry, and sunglasses. I liked that a good percentage of the merchandise seemed to come from Michigan artisans and Detroit area companies, including designs by Detroit Surf Co. and Made in Detroit. Like I said, the prices weren't the cheapest, but I wasn't hunting for a bargain, either. In my opinion, they had high quality items, pieces with a unique flair at prices that seemed pretty on par for the area. I'm no cheapskate, so I didn't even think about the price point for even a second. I appreciate fun, unique design choices, so this shop definitely had my attention. I'd rather purchase items that aren't super mass marketed any day of the week, especially when it comes to home decor. In the backroom and by appointment only, they're also offering spray tanning services. I'm not interested in that at all- I like being naturally pale- but it's nice if that is something that you're into. I have no clue about the prices for such services, but they did have a brochure detailing it at the cash register. The girl that waited on me was rather pleasant and friendly, too. She didn't get in the way, but she seemed quite knowledgeable and was well-versed in the type of companies they work with. While she rang up my purchase, she mentioned that they try to maintain a more eclectic style of merchandise and that new shipments come in at least once a week, so there's always something new in store. Apparently, they have some kind of rewards program for returning customers. All I know is that I signed up it at the time I made my purchase and it was simple, probably only took a couple of seconds to sign up, so maybe I'll get a discount or an update on new products coming in.

Luckily I didn't have to choose between the two because the thing was a SNOOZEFEST (literally multiple of us fell asleep). What was particularly annoying about the show is that very little had to do with astrology and instead was heavily focused on Greek mythology, which is neat and all, but not at all what the name of the show implied or what you would expect to get at a planetarium. It was also bizarrely presented live (instead of a recording) and while the presenter was decent, he stumbled a few times. Seems super odd they wouldn't just have a well-run, recorded show. A couple positives: 1. The show ended with a rollercoaster ride immersive experience, which we all agreed was the best part 2. The gift shop is reasonably priced and you can get little souvenirs for as little as $0.50 (I know this because I did). Maybe our expectations were too high, but I definitely wouldn't recommend the planetarium based on our experience.

Who knew Flint had a planetarium? I sure didn't until recently. When we came up here to spend the…read moreweekend in Flint to check out stuff, I realized it was immediately next door to the Flint Art Museum and less then a mile from our hotel. Both John X and I were ecstatic to go see it! Admission isn't all that much, and is discounted if you live in Genesee County. Since neither of us do, I think it was $7 a person to see the shows. They have shows literally every hour on the hour, each with different themes throughout the day, and they seem to rotate them often and frequently. We got there after 5 PM and we couldn't remember which show was next. We initially wanted to see the skies over Michigan, but they only had a 3 PM showing which we weren't able to watch since we were busy doing other stuff. The show we ended up watching was about the James Webb Telescope that launches on Christmas eve and is supposed to be kind of a big deal. As professional nerds, we were very excited about this. Okay, maybe me more then anyone else, but space and science is cool. The guy who lead the 45 minute show gave us tons of info and really did a great explanation of the telescope and he even said he had a graduate degree, so obviously he knows his stuff about space. Very informative and well worth the time and money spent here. The seats in the auditorium are super comfy and lean all the way back, for optimal viewing experience. I will also say, try not to fall asleep during the show! It's just so relaxing and fun when here. I will say, they do have a great lobby area, but we were hoping for more museum stuff. It's more of a waiting area for the shows with some displays and such but not much else. You could stare at the stuff in all of about 15 minutes, so don't plan on spending much time doing that. What I do like about the Planetarium is that it's geared for all ages and not *just* to kids. They have kid shows I'm sure, but it was nice to have "adult time" and not have to tune out screaming children during a show. Definitely an all ages experience!

We left because I didn't want my grandchildren to get hurt beca of this allowed behavior in the museum. What a shame that all staff sat at the desk chit chatting instead of stopping this behavior so everyone else could enjoy their day too.

We've been a few times when visiting family in the area and my son (age 4) always finds something to do. His favorite area tends to be the little town play area, which has a kid's size fire truck, post office, grocery store and restaurant. There are also areas for reading, science-oriented exhibits and other hands-on learning experiences. During the summer they also have a fun outdoor area for kids to try additional activities such as water rocket launches. The staff is also very nice and prices are reasonable. Tip: if you live in the area and plan to go more than twice a year, definitely get the family membership. Cons: it's on the smaller side and could be a little less exciting for older children. Bottom line: Definitely a bright spot in the Flint area. A great place to spend a couple of hours, young children will definitely be occupied.

Cute little boutique featuring rustic/farmhouse/shabby chic home decor…read more I stopped in last week and thought the name of the store looked familiar to me. It was and for good reason- it's the sister store of a home decor shop in Tawas City that I remember shopping last summer. That store was super cute and kinda eclectic and so was this one. The store just opened in April and is very much like the shop up north. They mirror each other pretty well, from layout and service to selection and price point. Customer service was nice and attentive and the stock was ample, showcasing plenty of "farmhouse chic" type of decor- candles, vases, furniture, clocks, artwork, signage, etc, much of it in a rustic, upcycled motif. The prices are kinda on the high end for even simple items, but the furniture was pretty reasonably priced. Some of the pieces are pretty garden variety and nothing that unique or that you can't get at Target for much less, but other items (larger pieces) are rather interesting and worth a real look. Overall, a nice store with great service and a mid-range price point for the most part.

I was expecting a dive to match the neighborhood but was pleasantly surprised. I love the tables and chairs- definitely a "lounge". Not sure what capacity is or how close it was to it on that night, but I appreciated it wasn't overcrowded and there was room to move. Beer was a little pricey but not totally outrageous. However, the food truck was a joke. Incredibly expensive for the quality and portion. Absolutely no sense of urgency or hustle, like the customer was an inconvenience and an interruption to their gossip session. Claimed they'll text you when it's ready, never got it.
