A very small town in southeastern Michigan that has a total area of only 6.8 miles. For a very small town it is actually pretty busy on Telegraph road where their are a variety of fast food restaurants and the Flat Rock Speedway and a bowling alley, it also has a driving school where most of the crappy drivers in wayne and monroe county learn to drive. It also has an abandoned K-mart which looks like hell with weeds growing all over the damn place. The high school is a small school full of white trash, wiggers, blacks, and emo's. And when I say emo's I mean emo's just a ton of them. So to put it simply Flat Rock is a very small town with many residents below the poverty level and very odd kids.
