| rdfs:comment | - Flint (or flintstone) is a hard, sedimentary cryptocrystalline form of the mineral quartz, categorized as a variety of chert. It occurs chiefly as nodules and masses in sedimentary rocks. American Indians of various tribes extracted the rocks and formed them into arrowheads to make their signature weapons more lethal. Oh, wait, did you mean the city? The seal of the city represents flint arrowheads, automobile manufacturing, and skyscraper-building, none of which are left.

Oh, wait, did you mean the city? “Flint? We be white!” ~ Oscar Wilde on Flint, Michigan The City of Flint, Michigan is a desolate industrial wasteland. Its abandoned factories, dilapidated retail stores, and empty residential neighborhoods give the amateur archaeologist fascinating hints about the days when Flint used to be a veritable spark plug in the American automotive engine. The seal of the city represents flint arrowheads, automobile manufacturing, and skyscraper-building, none of which are left.
