The fact that they can basically close off the entire park speaks to how underutilized it is. Shame, as it is a wonderful park, but here again is the duality that is modern Detroit.<br />Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17930398671280529448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-46391277788056971942019-08-17T10:25:22.673-04:002019-08-17T10:25:22.673-04:00I enjoyed our stop in Detroit.

So as far as I'm concerned they can pound sand, and will be getting a negative AC review from me.Clearly your experience was different.<br /><br />We did not consider them initially as a docking alternative for two reasons. First, we can't get under the bridge, so we'd have had to round Belle Isle and make a round trip back down the channel. And second, we'd have had to take an Uber to visit downtown.<br />Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17930398671280529448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-45319756965117017342019-08-16T19:18:21.225-04:002019-08-16T19:18:21.225-04:00It’s become customary for the winner of the Indyca...It’s become customary for the winner of the Indycar races on Belle Isle to jump in the fountain.<br /><br />Tim<br /><br /><br />Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672619618875872196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-68485946865036575192019-08-14T21:13:02.119-04:002019-08-14T21:13:02.119-04:00I loved cruising by Detroit -- the old mammoth ind...I loved cruising by Detroit -- the old mammoth industrial facilities were a vivid reminder of when Detroit was the manufacturing powerhouse of America. <br /><br />Although your dock near downtown Detroit sounds wonderful, I have to say we very much enjoyed staying at the Detroit Yacht Club. It is an immensely hospitable place, a well-maintained relic of Detroit's salad days. Great restaurant, nice people, fun to walk through and see the huge entertaining spaces. jschieffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13071481756313076150noreply@blogger.com
