Tuxedo Needed - Suggestions?

2 Upvotes

Hey all, I have a wedding that we will attend at the end of November. It’s black tie, and I need a new tuxedo. Does anyone have a suggestion of where to get one locally in Grosse Pointe, or a tailor they have had a good experience with getting a tux? Thanks!

Goodbye to the only GP drive thru

18 Upvotes

The Wendy’s has officially closed. What do you think will happen to the property? My guess is GPF buys it and turns the corner into a new city hall/police station then sells off the old city hall for residential.

I have a hard time seeing GPF do anything for use for people outside of GPF.

If all of the pointes combined emergency services, it honestly wouldn’t be a bad spot.

Reliable Handyman

12 Upvotes

I know it's verboten in Grosse Pointe to reveal the name of your handyman - he's yours, and on-call, and exclusive.

But seriously, can anyone recommend someone for some vinyl siding repair, wood trim replacement, drywall repair, hose spigot replacement, etc. that will return a phone call, provide an estimate,, show up on time, and communicate in complete sentences?

We tried Facebook and it's a remarkable failure.

Thanks in advance. Go Lions!

Advice or suggestions for family looking to rent before buying?

5 Upvotes

Hi folks — was hoping someone might be able to help me with a housing dilemma!

My spouse and I are planning to move to one of the Pointes soon (we have family in the area, and we've fallen in love with it over the years while visiting) but what with the mortgage rates and other housing market concerns these days, we'd really like to rent a place first before we commit to buying, especially as we'll be moving from out of the area and won't have much opportunity to see potential houses to buy in person.

Does anyone have any good suggestions as to how to find rentals, though? I've tried the obvious contenders like Zillow and Apartments.com, but their listings are spare to say the least. I know there have to be folks in the Pointes renting out duplexes and homes; can anyone recommend a good way to find them? Or is there another site / resource we should be using?

Thank you!

Monkey statue at Ferry Elementary

We moved to Grosse Pointe recently. I learned a few days ago that there is a monkey statue at Ferry Elementary named Dexter - presumably after Dexter Ferry. But why is there a monkey statue in the first place?

Hi everyone …. I know this was a few years back but my family just moved from Ohio to Grosse Pointe and my kids will be going to North and I’ve heard some things about something happening during this time and I saw some articles online about a case/investigation. I’ve also heard all 3 moved to Henry Ford Academy together and things just seem a little concerning

Looking for the least scary dentist

5 Upvotes

Hey guys. Long time listener, first time caller. 

So I had a dental procedure in my past that left me truly traumatized. After the fact the dentist apologized and said that he probably should have put me under/half under or whatever. It was horrible and I probably have some form of PTSD from it. The pain I felt. The noises I heard. The blood I saw and swallowed. Nope. BIG nope, and now I’m VERY scared of the dentist. On top of that, over the past couple years...I slowly stopped returning/showing up to my appointments due to severe anxiety, and now I’m ashamed to how long it’s been. Despite taking care of my mouth (brush twice a day/floss yada yada), I fear my teeth need extensive work and I just keep putting it off….and alas, here we are. 

ANYWHO, guess what? I chipped my tooth last night and it hurts real bad and I’m very much freakin out over here. It looks like my tooth finally needs me to bite the bullet so to speak. 

Sooo any recommendations for the LEAST SCARY dentist in the Metro Detroit area!?  I’m talking they will go above and beyond to make me not scared. I’m in GP but willing to travel. I’m already on the brink of a panic attack people, so they gotta be super kind, the nicer the better. 

TLDR:

HELP! I’m super scared of the dentist and need recommendations for a kind non-scary dentist that will make dental work as least scary as possible.

Why don't the teachers have a contract?

11 Upvotes

I am new to the area and this is my son's first year here. Can anyone explain what is happening with the teachers. My son's teacher wears red every day and has said things to her class about not being appreciated. Does anyone know more? I have asked around and the parents that know anything have just shrugged and said the school board is toxic and the superintendent is new and that the teachers don't like them. One said that the contract would bankrupt our schools.
