"To Rosemont, and don't spare the whip!" |

The house |
Two bedroom, one-and-a-half bathroom fixer-upper at 913 East Ruth Avenue. Notable features include running water and a porch. |
| The location | Like most of Flint, the Rosemont area has seen better days. One certainly hopes so, anyway. |
| The catch | Flint Journal columnist Marlon Vaughn describes Ruth Avenue: "That 'mess' includes unsalvageable abandoned houses that sit and rot for years. It also includes vacant lots dense with neck-high weeds and tons of garbage. And it includes the 15-minute minimum drive [resident Mary Crandall] must make to get to anything resembling a decent grocery store." |
| The damage | $3,500 |
