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.
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.
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.

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