Well.... i'll be kicking back for a couple weeks. My ankle was on the 3rd go round of infection. As i had thought my screws hadn't came out more, but by chance when my ankle swelled up last summer for 4-5 days the protective cushion that developed above them had moved out of place. This caused rubbing irritation on inside skin causing infamation then bleeding to outside. Infection came from that. The hardware then got infected developing a biofilm over them that antibiotics couldn't penetrat creating reocuring infections.  Only cure was to have hardware removal.

Got to hospital and getting prepped yesterday morn when one of the nurses pulled bandaid and i was leaking more infection. She stopped and got doc saying probably no surgery till cleared. Doc came said nope, they gotta come out now, continue! Yeah!
Pre surgery doc says easy about 40mins,  but worried 46yrs may take longer pending screw bonded, break off bone growth etc may take 3hrs. They put me under at 10:45, i woke up and by time i got back to recovery room it was 11:45👍 doc stopped in and told my buddy Cheech all went well, all hardware out.😁

Got a walking boot, and pending any post problems, stitches out the 16th.  So far pain is less than when infected, no swelling i can tell, no "commom" discharge spotting or blood spotting on my bandages. Lots of time on the couch with foot elevated now.

Lots of freinds giving me a hand and tending my dog.

Good luck!!!

For a lot of the searches I do the AI responses are wrong, very wrong. I mostly skip them and scroll down to response that "may" be more accurate. Nothing on line is a sure thing.

It is sad that so much local history just goes away. I bet there are tax records for that business.

Great find and a cool thing to do with it. You are a good man to give your neighbor a piece of his history!

Update.
Sent my neighbor a pic of the emblem. The ground use to be his grandads. He says "Wow, my grandad use to sell Fint cars in the 20s".

Think i'll give it to him.

Just got back from giving the emblem to my Neighbor. He sais his great grandad owned our entire block and later sold this part to his grandad. That old pic with cars, his greatgrandad sold machinery, Franklin and Flint automobiles out of the brick front building behind cars. When the Hotel to the right of that burn't down shortly after picture and his great gradad built a big brick building there and sold the Flints out of there. Then his grandad put in the auto parts store/ware house there. It's still there and selling auto parts to this day.
