Really? I was just thinking the other day that I hear about Flint, Michigan all the time. Relatively speaking at least. It's not even in the top 300 for city size yet I hear about it relatively often. Certainly more than Las Cruces, New Mexico.

It's frequently referred to as an example of a wasteland, but not referred to as a place of possibility.

I swear there's something in the water in Flint.
