Great program! Thankyou

My 7x’s Great Grandfather Julien Freton dit Nanteis was one of the very fist settlers of Grosse Pointe an and I believe him or a son fought in the Civil War as well..I’m very proud to be his 7x’s great granddaughter.

Great documentary on Grosse Pointe, and more importantly to me, Michigan history. Well done.

Very interesting as I was born in Bon Secours Hospital I Grosse Pointe in 1957 and resided as an infant in Grosse Pointe at my father's Aunt Frances Locher's mansion where she wrote classical piano music as well as recorded it n my parents n I lived there in 1957, thru 1959 at the manse where I was attended to by a Mammy. I of course only heard the stories I do not remember much at all, except the grand staircase coming from both sides of the mansion meeting in the middle with the huge pillars n sweeping staircase that branched left n right. I still see it in my dreams, n I am now 65 yrs old!!! Also, my father's mother, my grandmother Locher who remarried my Grandfather Locher back in the 1930's, was the society column editor if the Detroit Free Press newspaper during the 1920's. Wow!!; Grosse Pointe was always special in my family!;

Very interesting video! Thanks for sharing! 🎶🤟

Well done.

I live a long -long way from Grosse Pointe today, but the memories of the early 1960's you have awakened in me are wonderful. And you had me absolutely absorbed or "ENGROSSED" in all the NEW historical facts I've learned. (Excuse my pun... I couldn't resist). NEW Facts like "Michael Cadieux" of 1830. No doubt why there is a street of the same name that runs across "Mack" Ave. And right past the Michigan Bell Telephone Company (Central -Office) that I knew so well that generates the prefixes: 881, 882, 884, 885, and a few others that I don't specifically remember now. My beautiful Aunt Nita's was 884. (I just KNOW everybody wanted to know that). HA! Excuse me again... I couldn't resist. AND... Oh yes... Some of the earliest Grosse Pointe residents were "The Trombleys" Who lived 2 doors down from us in 1974. I didn't know they were celebrities. Also, The "Renault's"... Well, we all know who THEY ARE! But the one thing I really didn't get, was... The name"GROSSE POINTE " derived it's name from some horrible massacre in 1712... "The FOX INDIAN MASSACRE" was it? Having it out with another tribe called "MASS-A-KINS" (did you say)? Well, WHY isn't it called "FOX POINTE"?? The (SIR NAME) "GROSSE" is definitely British! For as many times as the Britts were over here trying to grab on to Detroit, I thought there has to be a connecting story there. But I guess not! Well, it's been very interesting. I'd give you an equally interesting story about the Hell -Place I live in, but I wouldn't want your hair to drop -out for the language I'd have to use. Love you all... My long lost Michigan family, (I wish I'd never left). Jeff

Fascinating.

Metro Detroit must-read: The Bark Covered House (by William Nowlin) 👍 👍

Sweet get up where can I get me one.

Well I MADE A MISTAKE! So... I came back to beg YOUR pardon, and correct it. 2 days ago I made the brash

Isn't this the place of an Indian curse and later on the mothman sightings?

A lot of brain washed people in the comments SMDH

Nice story, but it was whitewashed somewhat---- Narrator Tom Weaver stated at the beginning that Grosse Pointe was uninhabited-- Wrong-----

The Ethnic Pointe system for potential home buyers emphasized foreignness, rather than income or race. None of the questions seemed to eliminate Black or Latina peoples, but then were they ever in the running back then to buy a home in the pointes? No. And if per chance one was, they'd be steered away to homes in the city proper by GP realtors. I'm sure a realtor could be fired for trying to sell a home to a wealthy Black or Latina person.

What an insult to the traditional owners.....

Completely ignoring the Native American man behind you, and the other Native man who spoke of a culture you destroyed. And you’re proud.

All they no is how to take something what goes around comes around ONEDAY BOY O BOY

It was WASP ville. No blacks, Jews, foreigners
