Grosse Point
So I was taking a break from my homework and I decided to goggle what grosse point look like to get a better feel for Eugenides background and also the town that this story takes place in. I came across a picture that showed the boundaries between the two and when I clicked on it, it brought me to this website: http://www.63alfred.com/thewalls.htm it shows the separation between the two and it is not what I expected to see at all. there are actual walls dividing grosse point from the city of Detroit and the contrast between the two is amazing. Just thought some of you might find it interesting (also I only looked at this one website so don't quote me on any of this, I don't know how accurate it really is, but the pictures are interesting).
