Donna’s Donuts, Flint
Donna’s Donuts, located at 1135 W Bristol Road in Flint, Michigan.
Large variety of traditional and reasonably priced donuts. Decent service. Dough a bit heavy, all were acceptable but none of them blew me away. Had orange flavoured donuts, which was interesting.

St. Francis de Sales
St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church is located at 2929 McCracken Street in Norton Shores, Michigan.
This is the most brutalist brutalist building I have ever encountered. It could also not be more out of place in this comfortable small Michigan town.

Stratford Mall
The Stratford Mall is located at 1067 Ontario Street in Stratford, Ontario.
A surprisingly busy mid sized mall. All of the anchors are full, with a Hart department store, a Mark’s Work Warehouse, a Canadian Tire, a Sport Chek and a Winners. There is even a Coles Books.
The Green Haven donut shop in the food court makes fantastic donuts. The chocolate dip is the best I can remember and I highly recommend it.
