Back to the Bricks 2009
Flint’s Back to the Bricks annual event is almost here.
While not the most eco-friendly event since it’s all about what made Flint -cars…and the people that still love them, it’s a fun event.
Back to the Bricks is something Flint needs. It is a morale booster and a local economy booster.
Plus it is just good old fashioned fun with events that range from a drive in movie to rolling cruises to free food and plenty of car exhibits.
