Pine/Chip/Titt/Flint are all part of the lower Saginaw river basin. MI-DNR has moved toward using that nomenclature recently as the whole area moves toward environmental health and they become more involved (think drinking water debacle). Locals just call the river they are standing next to by its own name.
I went to a small liberal arts private college on the Pine River and once worked for the largest dual-energy public utility in Michigan (they have blue and white trucks). Now, I work for a large multi-national chemical company. My office building over looks the Tittabawassee, upstream of a “dam” that bears the name of that large multi-national chemical company.
In the warmer months, I walk out the front door for about 30 yards and go fishing at lunch. Very few times have I gone without a catch.
I am very blessed to be where I am.
Ahh, so you work where the river glows and in the winter on cloudy nights, I can see (from a few hundred miles away) the "light pollution" in the skies. Fishing at lunch sounds good.
I’m a retired 433 building guy. Small world.
