Grosse Pointe Park MI

[MusicAou]

im from grosse pointeyyy. i love pierce and its very nice and economically pricey but still refreshingggg :P

[santa3fe]

I grew up there in the 80's on Bedford Rd. It was a nice place and I met my first girlfriend (katie). That was 30 yrs ago and I remember it like yesterday.

[Dungeonblock]

HOME!!!! AH!! ('_')

[evillurkswithinusall]

I grew up there. It was such a strange place to grow up. It was very racially and economically segregated. The people were also very close minded, but it sure was beautiful in the early spring and fall. I moved out west sometime ago and sometimes I get nostalgic for a Michigan spring.

[hurricanejones1]

This is such a great neighborhood

[prepschoolkid]

Grosse Pointe is one of my favorite suburbs, no cookie cutter houses or big box stores, or strip malls.

[smgPEOPLE]

[smgPEOPLE]

[axeattack46]

this is not Grosse Pointe Park. i live here and this is not it. and you showed my house. the big first one.

[EsmereldasGoat]

Well Martin, I could have been wrong. According to the GPNews, this is the explanation for the name...

"In 1903 Hugo Scherer and Fred Wadsworth built a dozen farm houses on what is now Berkshire Place. They were rented to a succession of Detroiters who later built at the Pointe. Mrs Henry Joy called it the "Cabbage Patch" after the then famous book of Mrs. Wiggs, and the name stuck until most of the house were torn down."

I don't know that book, but maybe can find some info about it.

[EsmereldasGoat]

Hi Martin: It was called the Cabbage Patch because it was settled by Belgians, who ate a lot of cabbage, or at least are associated with cabbage. Most of the houses in this area were built by the Belgians, and Mulier's is an example of one of those old families. There are still plenty of old Belgian family names here.

Have fun walking your neighborhood and I'll see you around.

[jpsartrean]

I grew up in the Park and still live here. I've heard that the 'Cabbage Patch' actually used to be farmland - a friend's mother told me her family owned a large tract of land in that area where they farmed rutabagas back in the 1800s...

As for walking down Kercheval, I'd certainly be a bit more cautious as you approach Alter Rd...

[boostedrado]

yay. i grew up there. woot!

[JohnGaltenator]

Fuck Atom's Java and Juice. I went in there one time trying to buy something to drink for a dollar fifty and the guy in this video was like "Well, we don't sell anything for a dollar blah blah blah our drinks are expensive for this reason or that blah blah." I was the guy with the pith helmet, I came in with a soft spoken black man and this one heroin addict who asked for water. Art's Liquor is the place to go in that neighborhood. They sell cans of pop for 50 cents.

[boostedrado]

wtf are you trying to buy for a dollar anyways? gtfo of our city.

[allnrchi]

Hey I work at Atoms!

He forgot to mention my sister in law's place right behind him; she owns a bakery-type place there called Just Delicious. They cater out of there too. And on wednesdays you can order a full homecooked dinner carryout. Just thought I'd mention :)

We just started an open mic on Mon 6-9 at atoms, too.

[ParadiseofTruth]

Thank you for this video.I really enjoyed viewing this and it was very informative.---{@

[Arlind86]

Starbucksssssssss...we ride our rockets to all these placessss

[trylonperisphere]

Would be a good idea to mention what street this concentrates on. He mentions its not Kercheval which is where the "corporate" strip is, despite what Google Maps says about "Atom's Java & Juice." So where the heck is it?

[zoe26]

It is also Kercheval, just further west - the other shopping section. He says "farther down Kercheval" is the Starbucks...

[trylonperisphere]

zoe26, thanks for the info!

[whydoicare53]

i grew up there, and have missed it ever since... i used to go to mulers after school (defer) and get a candy bar, then walk home... good times

[temp54]

I work at Muliers! (59 seconds into the movie) I love working there.

[cthekb98]

The Patch is so hood, that crazy hippy forgot to mention buscemis he must be too tied up eating stuff that tastes like leaves.

[tittyslave]

man, nobody gives a shit about grosse pointe woods.

[TheDragonRain]

Yeah, over all I would say GPP is an okay city. Ive been to pretty much all of those places that he metioned. But the only problem is that it feels as if its detacted from the real world. Most of the time its to much of a dick and jane, happy go lucky, cheery cheery, neighborhood. But other than that and that most of the people here are spoiled, its an awesome pace to raise your kids.

[SanDan7]

Grosse Pointe Park Rocks!!!!

[automaton313]

Irish servents... That is why its cabbage patch. Good video brother. great to see you after all these years.

[temp54]

It's actually because of the Belgian Immigrants. That's why it's also called Grosse Pointe, because the French speaking people were making fun of the Belgians for being larger people. (The Belgians also spoke french.)

[automaton313]

Belgiums!! Ahhh! I dont know about that, but then again our ceilings are high and doors bigger. And that totally explains the local donut shop.

[temp54]

ha, good one.

[snmerkel]

your a fucking idiot. It is not called "Grosse Pointe" because fat Belgians lived in the area, it is called Grosse Pointe because it is a large strip of land that sticks out into the lake St. Clair

[miroku792]

lol sweet i live there lake pointe lol

[automaton313]

Lakepointe is nice. We r on beaconsfield kind of going down in value lately.

[kgdanumba1stunna]

Martin:

Great Video. I like the description and mild hint on your shop and dog.

I guess the main theme of this video is advertisement for Gross Point city main street.

Good Luck
