I'm with you here...I just moved to the area as well. I live in Grand Blanc...figure for the four years I will be here I will try to live in a good area and try being happy. I haven't really found much to do around here. If you find something amazing let me know.

Man, you guys are making me hungry for coneys. I moved away over 20 years ago and I still miss them. Haven't thought about Halo's in just about forever. Yum!

MaSta - Whiting Auditorium usually has good shows if you into that. I still buy tickets for my mom to see shows.

If you have kids, there is the sledding hill at Bicentennial Park,and ice skating at Physicians Park, this time of year.

We find things to do but you have to drive to do them, at least from the Grand Blanc area.

I'm trying to familiarize myself with the Fint area.

Thanks in advance,

We do go to shows at the Whiting actually they have some really good shows every year, both for families and for adults. The prices aren't too bad either, considering.

If you like to ice skate Ice Mountain in Burton offers open skate for $2 a session, with $3 for rentals.

Grand Blanc has a great sledding hill - they have snow makers they use too

Mt. Holly has skiing many I know go skiing there

As for shopping I usually head south, I sometimes shop at the Genesee valley, it depends what we need

Restaurants:
In Burton at the Courtland Center is a Mexican place : El Cozumel, we often went there for lunch from work

Italia Garden on Miller Road (also one in davison) has some very good dishes and not like a chain restaurant. We like their chicken caccitore.

There is Nuevo Vallarta in Grand Blanc that has good Mexican (it is similar to El Cozumel) they also have a "sister" restaurant across from the Genesee valley called Puerto vallarta

Taboon has very good middle eastern food, it is in front of the mall on linden road (next to taco Bell)

many like Salvatore Scallopini, have to say it's been awhile since we have been there, it was a harder place to fit in at a table compared to Italia Gardens -- so we haven't been there as much

Some I worked with once had a list of places kids eat free and what day of the week...LOL! We did not do this but he and others did.

There are chains of all kinds around

Downtown, we used to eat at the Lunch Stop

a good lunch is at Mott Community College there students training to be in culinary arts do it

Masonic Temple also had a nice lunch they served

For Chinese we always went to The Empress of China not the multitude of buffets...some prefer the all you can eat

I was there once ...anyway, there are somethings, mostly tho hanging with friends after work.

Less to do than some places closer to big cities.

What kind of thing you looking for?

If I may ask how old are the kids?

This may help with more ideas.

I'm pretty open to anything. I think my current issue is that it is hard to meet good people around here in my situation. I work 9-6...7... or so and those are weird hours to work. By the time I'm off work the day is done. I figure as more time goes on I'll meet people.
