I don't mean this is a cancelling of Grant or anything, I was just disappointed the show didn't add in the NECESSARY context to the word Algonquin.
It is the name of a people. Who cares about the bar/hotel or whatever in NYC I mean I am sure it is famous but... Algonquin is a name that belongs to its people first and foremost and the show should have mentioned that.

Grant I am sure might be aware of this, maybe that was the way the editing cut down the show, I am not interested in being overly critical I love Dropout in part because it is so progressive, it is just... the Algonquin people are very cool and have an amazing history and even if they didn't we at least deserve to speak of them when we use their name.
