If you are from Flushing, Michigan you have probably complained about being in Flushing more times than you can count. It being such a little town, you can easily get bored and feel like there is nothing better to do than sit in McDonald’s, I know we've all done it. But, going away to college has given me a good appreciation for our sweet, little town.

The Elbow Room

One of my favorite things I look forward to when I come home is cozying up in The Elbow Room with a cup of coffee surrounded by my best friends. It also has the best seat in the house for people watching, am I right?

Choo Choo's Diner

I don't know about you, but I couldn't even count how many times I've woken up and checked Twitter to see tweets that say "Really craving Choo Choo's." When you’re needing a great breakfast, NOTHING beats grabbing a table at Choo Choo's.

Cops & Robbers/Roaring 20’s

Got a sweet tooth? No worries, Flushing always has your back with two classic options for great ice cream shops! Memories of summer days/nights sitting on the porch at Cops & Robber's or grabbing a cone right across from the Bueche's Trail at Roaring 20's will always stick with us.

Flushing Parks/Trails

Speaking of summertime, it is always a great time in Flushing if you love taking beautiful runs, or more like walks if you are anything like me! The Bueche’s Trail and Flushing County Park are both places we are all very familiar with.

Home

The most important thing about Flushing, Michigan is that it is forever where home will be. No matter how much we complain about how we can’t wait to get out, I’ll always love coming back.

To me, Flushing means Home.

Flushing is cozy days in The Elbow Room.

Flushing is mornings with freshly cooked breakfast.

Flushing is summer nights walking around town with ice cream cones.

Flushing is early morning and late night walks through the trails.

Flushing is Friends, Flushing is Family.

Flushing is Home.
