An upper class suburb that is commonly called by kids that live there "the drug capital of
michigan". It is both the city I love and the city I live in. It has, arguably, the best
public school district in all of
michigan.
Amusing Grosse Pointe
Anecdote:
So i had to write a paper on the writings of
Frederick Douglass for my
english class. The first place i go, obviously, is to the
library in Grosse Pointe to look for some of his
essays, which are contained in "Great African American
Literature of the
19th Century". Upon asking for this text, the librarian informs me that "anything published in the 19th century would either call black people
niggers,
negros, or
coloreds." and that i "must be mistaken" as to the title of the book. I then inform her that "if the book were published in the 19th century, why would it say 'of the 19th century' in the title?"
The
Moral:
In Grosse Pointe, even the
librarians are
bitches.
