Flowers for Saginaw, MI

Saginaw grew up on lumber and gray iron, and you can still read that history in the city's shape — a river town where the Saginaw River splits the map into a west side and an east side, each with its own downtown feel. Old Town on the west bank, with its brick storefronts and the Hamilton Street shops, is the picturesque heart; across the water the east-side downtown holds the Temple Theatre, the Dow Event Center, and the civic buildings. Delivery here means knowing which bank you are headed to and which bridge to take, because the two hospital campuses — Covenant HealthCare on the west side and Ascension St. Mary's downtown — pull a heavy, steady stream of get-well and new-baby orders, and the run out to Saginaw Valley State University sends the driver north up Bay Road through Kochville. Residential blocks in the Cathedral District, Grove, and the near-north neighborhoods fill in the rest of a typical day.
