I love your Detroit and suburbs videos! I grew up in Dearborn on W. Outer Drive in the 60s and 70s. My father had a business downtown Detroit on Woodward Ave. I’ve returned many times since and have seen blight and transformation. I think your videos are honest and I especially appreciate the stats you provide. I’m addicted so please keep adding more. Perhaps updates as Detroit improves?
I been here all 34 years of my life and grew up in Rosedale Park. The shock that a city of 140 sq mi actually has nice parts to it is quite offensive, and very small minded.
I understand why it’s offensive, I grew up there too(been in the south 10+ years). But outside of Detroit, all people know is 8 mile. I’m shocked when someone even says Woodward because there isn’t much discussion about Detroit outside of Detroit unless it’s negative.
My mother grew up going to a highschool in this area. She cleaned many of the nice houses owned by well to do families. She did so to put food on the table for her & her little brother. Her Detroit policeman father was too busy gambling away his paycheck.
I grew up in South Rosedale and my grandfather built the first private house in North Rosedale. I asked him once why the streets were so narrow. He said when the subdivisions were built the predominant car on the roads then was the Model T and that determined the width of the streets!
Thanks for this, high quality. Rosedale Park was my hood from 64-68. I attended Redford HS. You showed the Community House where we attended dances, and our block on Piedmont St. The McDonalds at 5:39 was where the "greasers" and "frats" would rumble. Ted Nugent lived in North Rosedale then.
What a beautiful neighbourhood. Modern America has become so ugly, cheap and throwaway. Look at the design, craftsmanship, quality materials that have gone into this era.
Violent crime? I been living in Detroit since 2010 & I have not witnessed anything violent personally. I think it's who you run with here. I stay to myself and have zero issues 🙌💯
"Grandmont" and "Grandmont #1" probably come from the name of original subdivision "plats" when the area was first sold to be developed. If you check real estate listings, you will find nearby areas that are "Grandmont #3," and so forth. My guess is the other platted Grandmont subdivisions built around that time were not as ritzy, so those subs might not have had organized owner groups maintaining signs proudly stating the name of the sub.
Checking further, the plat for Grandmont # 2 is between the Southfield freeway and Memorial, north of Glendale, and one block south of Schoolcraft. The plat for Grandmont # 3 is tiny, just a couple of blocks near the corner of Glendale and Memorial. There does not seem to be a Grandmont # 4, etc. The Grandmont without a number looks like it was established in 1916, and the other ones were in 1923 and 1924
My old stompin' grounds! First McDonald's I ever saw was on Grand River and Fenkell. In the seventies, houses in Rosedale Park could be bought for $25K, the same price as smaller homes to the northwest.
I grew up in South Rosedale. That McDonald's opened in I think 1960. I remember it took me and my sister two years to convince our parents to let the family have a meal there. You see hamburger places in Detroit had a bad reputation with gang toughs hanging around at the pay phones. I later learned that was why McDonald's restaurants never had pay phones because the founder Ray Kroc was sensitive to that fact.
Detroit is still beautiful. Born and raised in Detroit. Still here and not going anywhere. I love my city. It has it's moments like any other city. Yet Detroit has come a long way from being just the Motor City. I haven't been to a city yet that doesn't remind me of Detroit. I lived in Louisville Kentucky for 2yrs. And let's just say It make Detroit look like a field of roses.
Another great video Chris! You did a series of comprehensive videos for all neighborhoods of Detroit, do you have any plans to do so for other major cities?
There's a good nyt article on Rosedale Park and how one of the reasons why it survived the downfall of the city was because it was historically racially integrated and harmonious. It wasn't gripped by the white flight of the 70s and 80s like the rest of the city.
Detroit has some absolutely glorious neighborhoods ,unlike most cities who could only dream of. The stated value of $94,000 is a little bit more than questionable looking through the listings. They are there easily double that and many more than that.
My impression of Detroit is that it's a better place overall, compared to cities like Baltimore and Philadelphia, where they have those awful looking row house slums.
Why is violent crime above the national average in North Rosedale Park, but lower than the national average in Palmer Woods? That does not even make sense....
I had a friend who lived on Glastonbury back in the 60s. Other local lore: those of us growing up in the Brightmoor area pronounced it Staheelin, and pronounced Lahser, as Lasher.
Easily, bring resources for jobs. The more Black people populated the city, the more the jobs left which left many in a tight situation. A lot of our crime is economically based crimes believe it or not. Idk how much time you’ve spent here…if ever, but it’s probably not quite what you’re thinking.
Neat to see a black squirrel at the 10:50 mark.First time I saw one was 20 years ago in a park downtown Toronto.I may have seen them in New England too.There are white ones in Brevard,NC.
My sister recently connected with a cousin of ours in North Rosedale Park, on Bretton Road (sister's in the Dallas area, we're in LA). I recall as a small child (around 1950) visiting our cousins on Warwick in Rosedale Park, and being SO impressed at how the "rich" people lived. I'm pleased to see how well the area has maintained, tho' I recall a few years ago that many of these houses could be bought for $2,500 and the promise to live there and maintain the property. NRP is beautiful, with wide streets, tall trees, lovely lawns, and large brick homes. It amazes me that one of these large homes can be bought for what amounts to the down payment on a house in Los Angeles. Maybe we all should retire to North Rosedale Park!
Houses in Rosedale Park never went for 2,500. even during Detroit's darkest days. This area has always been affluent. not sure where and how you got that information from.
You should do Ann Arbor Royal Oak Troy Utica Madison Heights Auburn Hills Rochester Hills Rochester Farmington Hills Canton Plymouth Northville Novi Gross Point Gross Point Woods Wyandotte Dearborn Woodhaven Riverview Trenton Dearborn Heights West Bloomfield Bloomfield Hills Grand Rapids Monroe be good cities for videos in Michigan Ann Arbor Oakland county Michigan got really nice over the years
@@ChrisHarden true it has it has Utica got new baseball stadium built out that way Jimmy John's Field Oakland county I was told by someone in An Arbor it's a top 10 richest county in the USA

This is a beautiful area. Detroit must have been magnificent when it was all intact and kept like this.
Don't forget Detroit (DAYTWAH) was the wealthiest city in the United States and top ten in the world. What goes up...must come down.
Racism, Redlining, White Flight, Poor Schools, Disinvestment, Lack of Grocery Stores, Roads that were ignored for decades, and this Neighborhood is STILL beautiful.
@@richbrake9910Ive always wondered when people stopped pronouncing it correctly.
Detroit has many nice neighborhoods, beautiful homes, lots of great condo/ townhouse/ apartments neighborhoods in midtown and downtown now also
Greetings from Detroit!
I grew up there🤷🏻♂️don’t do it.

Rosedale's a gem. Very active community. Quiet, and safe.
So much nicer than modern suburban development (post war). I think the high point of American residential design was the 1920s
Agreed. The architecture of that era was stunning!
💯‼️
Yes, The Great Gatsby era...
Wow nice! I’m from Detroit…👍
I been here all 34 years of my life and grew up in Rosedale Park. The shock that a city of 140 sq mi actually has nice parts to it is quite offensive, and very small minded.

I live in Rosedale Park! Thank u!!👌🏽😆
Yes. Please don't act so surprised!
I'm not surprised Kris Frederick... the general public is.
@@ChrisHarden I appreciate you

That stretch of Grand River is unnecessarily narrow now.
I grew up in South Rosedale and my grandfather built the first private house in North Rosedale. I asked him once why the streets were so narrow. He said when the subdivisions were built the predominant car on the roads then was the Model T and that determined the width of the streets!
My neighborhood ❤🙌💯
All of the neighborhood and ares within the city have names. I have a map I’d be more than happy to share with you.
Why aren’t you showing the beautiful neighborhoods?
Hey bro. Chalfonte is pronounced Chalfontay.
Ah. Oh well lol
These are wonderful neighborhoods but you're not a very good driver.

My old stompin' grounds! First McDonald's I ever saw was on Grand River and Fenkell. In the seventies, houses in Rosedale Park could be bought for $25K, the same price as smaller homes to the northwest.
And today, you’re lucky if you’re able to find a new car that’s only $25k.
I grew up in South Rosedale. That McDonald's opened in I think 1960. I remember it took me and my sister two years to convince our parents to let the family have a meal there.

Did you go to Cooley High?
Yes, '66-'69.
This reminds me of Lewis place in St. Louis and even Morgan park in Chicago
Nice looking houses near blighted high crime neighborhoods
I grew up in Rosedale Park and it’s so wild to see things so different but the same. Great video 💕

facts. i got a career as a controls engineer and i run my paintball business in detroit. this place ours
I suppose that Wave's Inn has some delectable sandwiches.
Very nice looking neighborhoods, -sad that the surrounding areas have declined so badly though, which is bound to negatively affect the neighborhood.
very nice area, some really beautiful homes!
Wow... I grew up on Bretton Dr from 1967 to 1972. Glad to see the neighborhood is still thriving. Many memories there.
Another great video Chris! You did a series of comprehensive videos for all neighborhoods of Detroit, do you have any plans to do so for other major cities?
Yup, Denver and New Orleans are next. Hopefully Chicago soon after.
I grew up just South of Grand River, not from Redford and Rosedale Park. Always loved Meijer's Thrifty Acres...
If that area is better than most other areas, those areas must be absolutely awful. Rosedale commercial area looks like a dump.
There's a good nyt article on Rosedale Park and how one of the reasons why it survived the downfall of the city was because it was historically racially integrated and harmonious. It wasn't gripped by the white flight of the 70s and 80s like the rest of the city.

Still interested in Tulsa Oklahoma

Was your father Bob Harden PhD msu ,,,I attended with 8.
Why is violent crime above the national average in North Rosedale Park, but lower than the national average in Palmer Woods? That does not even make sense....
Because those are the stats
@@ChrisHarden and those stats are good to know.
Palmer Woods & Sherwood Forrest has private security.
Love this series anyway you can you reupload this one in better quality?
I have a family member lives in Rosedale Park.
👋 trashy dollar store and party stores 😂 and foren people running grocery stores with old and high-priced food .
😂
😮
I had a friend who lived on Glastonbury back in the 60s. Other local lore: those of us growing up in the Brightmoor area
pronounced it Staheelin, and pronounced Lahser, as Lasher.
Exactly Lasher is always how we pronounced it. I lived on Warwick, which is just a couple of short blocks from Stalin and Glastonbury.
Can't they do anything about the crime?
Easily, bring resources for jobs. The more Black people populated the city, the more the jobs left which left many in a tight situation. A lot of our crime is economically based crimes believe it or not. Idk how much time you’ve spent here…if ever, but it’s probably not quite what you’re thinking.
great vid
My mother and her siblings went to Redford High in the 1930s-1940s.
Spent my late teens here prior to entry into the Marine Corps. It was as Norman Rolckweely as Detroit could get. Really nice.
I remember Leon Spinks bought a nice Crib out in Rosedale.
I think it's cute you've a touch of a southern accent...not like I do, but I just moved to Detroit from Atlanta a year ago 🤗
Neat to see a black squirrel at the 10:50 mark.First time I saw one was 20 years ago in a park downtown Toronto.I may have seen them in New England too.There are white ones in Brevard,NC.
We've got a bunch of black squirrels here in my city in IL but never seen a white one; interesting.
I spotted occasional white squirrels in the Bowling Green KY area
@@PhantasyStarved I was in your city about 25 years ago.I really enjoyed the Corvette Museum.
@@PhantasyStarved Sweet! Can you say if they were albino? i.e.: were the eyes pink color? or regular blackish/ brown?
Detroit has neighborhoods inside of Neighborhoods!
Dearborn is still a nice pristine Area outside Detroit!
Beautiful Brick Holmes 🏘️🏡

Made a video on Ann Arbor already. Oakland County has not been becoming nice over the years, it’s been nice from the start.
@@ChrisHarden true it has it has Utica got new baseball stadium built out that way Jimmy John's Field Oakland county I was told by someone in An Arbor it's a top 10 richest county in the USA
what is the area around Mumford high school called. Used to live there
Not sure if there’s a name for that neighborhood. Maybe that area is just referred to as Wyoming and McNichols?
Bagley is one of them, there’s also Lodge Heights, Blackstone Park…Sherwood Forest, Palmer Woods, and Green Acres are also not far from Mumford.
Nice video. How about st. Louis!?
thanks for a great one, just like being there!!
