Flint. Warm and Fuzzy.
Sorry you can only pick one.
Flint and Detroit have some awesome old homes and architecture from back when they were a good place to raise a family. Sadly a lot of them are in disrepair and might be demolished. A few have been turned into art galleries or restaurants in Detroit. Both cities have programs going on to try and get restore the city scape and neighborhoods.
The Simpsons have made fun of Flint 4 times. The latest one that I have seen was Lisa uncovering an old Readers Digest that had a cover stating 'Flint: The City of the Future!'
Other references:
Flint is referenced in a 1994 episode of The Simpsons, "Bart Gets Famous," as Bart Simpson's class visits a box factory. When asked if they will get to see a finished box, the tour guide replies, "Well, we don't assemble them here -- that's done in Flint, Michigan." There are, in fact, "box factories" in Flint. For example, Genesee Packaging has three facilities in the area.
Flint is also in a 1999 episode of The Simpsons, "They Saved Lisa's Brain", when Flint is number 296 on the list of the 300 most livable cities, surpassing only Ebola, RI, Dawson's Creek, NC, Springfield, and East St. Louis, IL.
Flint is also in a 2006 episode of The Simpsons, "G.I. (Annoyed Grunt)". When the Army recruiter asks where they can find some "Awesome Kids", Milhouse replies "Flint, Michigan?", a reference to Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11.
