Winnie the Pooh
Characters from the story of Winnie the Pooh are brightening one of the many vacant homes in the struggling industrial city of Flint, Mich. Kristina Pringle, 20, has a sketch pad full of cartoon characters. Since August, she's been applying her hobby to beautifying an unoccupied house near her own home, painting Pooh's friends on the boarded-up windows. "I'd like to make my street better, for sure," Pringle said. "And drawing is something I like to do." She was recruited by Art Wenzlaff, community-relations director of the nearby International Academy of Flint charter school.
