Improvements at Stoepel Park!

This past Sunday volunteers began the initial work at Stoepel Park, digging holes, installing poles and pouring concrete for a fence improvement project around the little league fields! This project – a joint collaboration by the Rosedale Grandmont Little League, GRDC, the Brightmoor Alliance, Ford Motor Company, Lowe’s, Keep America Beautiful, the Detroit Tigers Foundation, the City of Detroit, and Wayne County – is the first phase of a larger park improvement project that will bring walking paths and expanded parking to Stoepel, along with many other improvements.

Announcement: Rosedale-Grandmont Little League Sign-up

A former resident and older friend of mine who lived on Rutland was always telling me, “If you’re interested in the history of Grandmont, you should go talk to Mr. Erwin! He’s lived here a long time.” Finally school was over for me and I was very happy to spend an afternoon with the Erwins.

Mr. Erwin was born in 1899. His family owned the original section that became Selfridge Air Field. He grew up there until his family sold the property to the U.S. government in 1915. He completed two years at U of M, Ann Arbor in electrical engineering in 1920 and went to work as a follow-up service engineer for Underwriters Laboratories, where he stayed for 45 years until his retirement.
