Yup, Mr. Steward does live in Rosedale Park. I run into him quite often at Metro Foodland. Very friendly, down to earth and normal guy. I also see a lot of the boxers he's training running through the neighborhood. They're about the only people you see running in this weather. | ||

Hey Detroitduo, you forgot me. I'm a professional skier/snowboarder. Darwinism, I think you need to be more specific. There are huge numbers of professional athletes in the Metro area. Just a limited number of famous ones. I just spent last weekend running a clinic to hire 28 amateur snowboarders and turn them into professional snowboarders. We only had to turn three away due to real crappy attitudes. | ||

Hopefully Higginson invested his money, because yesterday the Tigers announced they declined to offer him arbitration, so no more money, no more Tiger. I would doubt anyone else would pick him up, unless maybe the Devil Rays. Mitch Melusky tried to make a comeback, but never could, and as far as I know, he is not in baseball anymore. There were always jokes in the Tigers locker room about Melusky sightings because he was always injured and never played except spring training. | ||

Dream Member Username: Dream Post Number: 109 Registered: 10-2003 Posted From: 65.143.133.8 |
Mackinaw you are correct. Mr. Webber did indeed purchase the Julian P. Bowen House. It has a Jefferson address but is actually a lake front property. Its setting with the long driveway provides excellent privacy. It sold for $2.850 million this year. Original asking price was $3.395m. This home was open earlier this year to the public during a Thursday afternoon open house and later it was the subject of an educational tour about architect Wallace Frost. Unfortunately I missed the Frost tour but I did manage to sneak a peak during the open house. According to my records there have been 11 sales over the two million dollar mark this year in the Grosse Pointes. Not bad considering Michigan’s flat real estate market. I understand that the high end market in Oakland County is actually doing far worse. There are two other Frost designed homes presently on the market in Grosse Pointe. Julian P. Bowen House E. Jefferson Avenue sold for $2.850m in 2005 Architect - Wallace Frost 1927 - 8,974 Lake front French Normandy which features an original working elevator, 90 feet of lake front, stone & stucco exterior with large turret, slate roof, third floor has a pub and theater room plus 2 bedrooms and a full bath, finished basement with sauna, full bath and work out room. Architect Frost designed the Governor's Mansion in Lansing. Some of his other local projects include: 15324 Windmill Pointe Drive, GPP Ross W. Judson House 1927 - 9,931 Ross W. Judson was the founder of Continental Motors Corporation. 16632 E. Jefferson, GPP sold for $1.325m in 2002 1926 - 8,088 41 Hendrie , GPF (faces Grosse Pointe Blvd.) Edward B. Caulkins (Bertha A. Bliss) House selling for $1.400m in 2005 1927 - 5,490 42 Hendrie, GPF 1926 - 4,635 242 Lewiston, GPF 1926 - 4,500 selling for $950k in 2005 157 Moross, GPF 1927 - 4,000 Frost also designed approximately 40 smaller residences in Birmingham, Michigan. The recently sold Bowen house is very nice but for a truly spectacular house that is for sale in the very same vicinity see 815 Ellair, GPP. Numerous photos available on line. selling for $5.800m in 2005 1926 - 10,000 Cecil Fielder’s former home at Kenwood Road in Grosse Pointe Farms is on the market for the first time since he sold it in 1995. Just in time for a special Christmas present the price was just recently reduced from $7.900 million to $4.800m. This is by far the largest price reduction I have ever seen on a Michigan home. The original price was unrealistic in this market although it did cost over six million to restore the house after it was almost completely destroyed in a fire while being renovated by the present owner. 109 Kenwood, GPF Lynn McNaughton (Uarda Ashmore) House Architect - George D.

An interesting NFL fact is that 3 owners of NFL franchises have their primary residence in Grosse Pointe. William Clay Ford (Martha Firestone) - Detroit Lions - purchased Lions in 1964 for $6 million - Lions franchise valued at $717 million by Forbes magazine, or at least it was before this glorious season. Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. (Mary) - Buffalo Bills - has owned Buffalo Bills since 1960 - only original American Football League owner who has kept his team in its originating city - franchise valued at $637 million by Forbes magazine John Philip Jagger (Mary Beth Bowlen) - own 25% of Denver Broncos - acquired interest through Mary’s family - Patrick Bowlen family - Bowlen family bought team in 1983 for $60 million - franchise valued at $815 million by Forbes magazine | ||

Darwinism, Please note that I was incorrect in posting that there are 3 team owners in Grosse Pointe. As of 2004 the number is down to 2. Please see my correction below. The information is gathered from various sources. It is fairly well known that William Clay Ford lives in Grosse Pointe and owns the Lions. Ralph C. Wilson is not nearly as well known. If you google his name you will find a lot of information on the web including his residing in Grosse Pointe. He has lived in Grosse Pointe at least as long as he has owned the Bills and has lived in his present home since 1975. http://www.buffalobills.com/Fr ontOffice-Wilson.jsp http://www.buffalosportshallfa me.com/Class_of_1992/Ralph_Wil son/ralph_wilson.html Here is a link to an article about the 3 NFL owners from Grosse Pointe. Ford's ego stands in way of making smart coach decisions - 01/03/03 two of his close lakefront neighbors, insurance magnate Ralph Wilson Jr. and stockbroker John and spouse Mary Beth (Bowlen) Jagger, own the upstart Buffalo ... www.detnews.com/2003/metro/030 1/04/d01-50823.htm - 24k - Supplemental Result Mackinaw; Thanks. I have continued to lurk, as this is easily the best Detroit web site, but have stopped posting for the most part since I lost my entire Grosse Pointe computer file while researching on Architect Robert Ovens Derrick. Between my frustration in losing this 400 plus page file and being generally very busy with family and work life I have not had the time to post. I have finally bought a digital back up drive and will slowly begin to reconstruct my data base from my old web postings and a hard copy of the information which I have but which unfortunately dates back to 2003. I hope to be able to post more in the coming new year. Correction. It appears that the Jaggers of Grosse Pointe no longer have a direct ownership interest in the Denver Broncos. The team appears now to be owned solely by Mary Beth Jagger’s brother, Pat Bowlen. In trying to update my information on the Broncos I read that Edgar Kaiser, Jr. (the individual from whom the team was purchased in 1983) had sued Patrick Dennis Bowlen over ownership of the Denver Broncos. In 1999 famed quarterback John Elway was offered a 20% interest in the team. Kaiser has alleged that he was denied his option of first refusal to purchase back interest in the franchise. According to Kaiser in 2004 Pat acquired his (Mary Beth Jagger) sister’s 25% interest in the team as well as the 25% interest of his brother, William. While I am correcting my mistakes on this topic here is another correction. A while back I had posted about the Dodge Place subdivision and the former home of Steve Yzerman.

"Where the H is Northville"?! Northville is Seven Mile west of 275. I worked at the NBD Bank on Seven Mile west of the mental facility. Nick Lidstrom used to come in there a lot and wire money home when he was building a house. This was before they won the first cup. I grew up in Southfield and Bob Lanier lived next to one of my friends when I was in the 1st grade. South of 9 mile and east of Evergreen. I worked at Little Caesars on Orchard Lake N of Long Lake in 1991. Bill Laimbeer used to order pizzas under the name Smith and pick them up himself. We were under orders not to do anything but ring his order and thank him or else he would stop coming. Tommy Hearns lived down the street from friends of mine. At the end of a long dirt road W of Evergreen and south of the Lodge. Isaiah Thomas' first house was in Southfield in that subdivision W of Southfield Road, E of the Lodge and N of that big Ameritech facility. Vinnie Johnson lived in Southfield and he used to jog around the Southfield High School track. | ||

I can tell you for 100% certainty that all the "suedes" and Legace on the Red Wings live in Novi (not Northville) and Nik Lidstrom is about about 1 mile down the road from my house in Novi. Here's a link about a recent article in the press with a quote to confirm. http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs .dll/article?AID=/20051221/SPO RTS05/512210450/1053/SPORTS ""All the Swedes live in Novi -- which, basically, is all the Swedes and me -- and I didn't get invited over," Legace said. "I thought I was an honorary Swede. So I'm kind of bitter at the Swedes. Swedish questions are a little touchy." You can also find out this information on them on the City of Novi's website.
