Back in the 30s my mom and dad moved to Detroit from northern Michigan, dad worked for Chevrolet and mom as a beautician, they talked often how preAC people would take blankets and pillows to belle isle to sleep on hot summer nights.
Belle Isle in the 1960s, good memories. Had a boat at the Detroit Yacht Club-hydroplane races, JL Hudson fireworks, marvelous bridge from the Detroit side. Love the way the Island looks now!
Thanks for sharing! I wish I could time travel and see Detroit back in the day. But as time goes by it almost feels like that as they restore so many old buildings. Thanks for the comment!
I want to state unequivocally that downtown Detroit is safer and cleaner than San Francisco and Los Angeles. I not only compared crime stats by zip code but I also live here and frequent the downtown area.
I love in Windsor. I every week end go to the coast of Ditroit river in Canada and enjoy the nice landskape of BELLE ISLE island. While I have no USA pessport I can not go to this island. I wish one day can visit this lovely island😍🌹🌹🌹
Are you a local? Because if you were, you wouldnt have left off the "Hipster Beach" Lagoon and sandbars on the north end of Belle Isle just down from the golf course. That is one of the BEST spots on Belle Isle, but hey... only locals know about it ;)
@teztiment ... exactly. lol jk. Reminds me of a music fest I went to years ago. It was very small at the time. When I first got there I kept saying how great it was. This random guy came up to me and was like "SHHHH only tell cool people". Starting to feel that way about Detroit as a whole. Lol JK. Spread love. #saynicethingsaboutdetroit

Wtf happend to Detroit. I mean I've heard the songs we almost lost Detroit. Ik that it was once prosperous and had a sudden decline. But seeing the beauty there makes it all the more sad and now I wish to brush up on its history.
Thanks for the view. My parents and managers back in the day always told me that as well. Good suggestions we will consider. Then energy and hands this is for sure hard for me. I am passionate and that is who I am. Thanks for the feedback. Will consider.
Unless you are signing for the deaf community there is no need to constantly wave your hands around. So unprofessional.. you only need to move your mouth.
The water is tested like all lakes and public beaches in Michigan and other areas. Just like many bodies of water you don't want to swim after large rains and floods. However it is mostly clean or as clean as most fresh water in the country at this point!

❤️ Belle lsle!.. Detroit, MI
Ayyyyy!
I was born right next to that Island
You might have missed the Dossins ship museum on Belle isle. If you go back, try and visit there.
I love it there! Definitely one of my favorites
Matt! You didn’t talk about the DOSSIN GREAT LAKES MUSEUM! What? It’s a gem of Great Lakes maritime history.
Cool spot but not on the island! I will keep it in mind for future videos.
I love Belle Isle... it's 5.3 miles
Me too!
You should do a video on Mount Clemens and the historic homes.
Left out the giant slide, im sure you seen it out there lol
Lol I totally wanted a full section on the GIANT SLIDE but we ran out of time.
Just watched comp of people flopping down the slide lol thats how I learned of Belle isle.
Nice video. Thank you for your service. G
Thanks for the love Greg! We appreciate the love! Thanks for tuning in. Holler if we can help with anything at all.
I'm a photographer here in the city and I been inside the basement speak easy.. pretty cool. You can see the filtration systems and things
Yeah the stories about that are pretty crazy!
What happened to the Dobson Great Lakes Museum With the ship wheelhouse built into it?
Not sure?
Very informative video!. Loved it.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for the follow.
There are some still on the island but they are jus garden snakes but some are pretty big
😅

Shhhhh. Lol
I have been to Hipster Beach several times. I recommend Detroit Outpost, they are great. You can take the Kayaks over that way.

Democrats have stolen its greatness
It is very interesting to dive into the history of Detroit. It is a great city and will continue to be. The present and future are bright!
Talk less, show more and stop using your hands so much!!!😂

Agree

💙💙💙 GREATEST ISLE, OUTSIDE OF NYC CENTRAL PARK. NO LONGER OWNED BY DETROIT
If it is State owned or City owned I am happy it is improving. A true gem! Agreed?!
It's pronounced Bell Lyle.
Haha sounds good.
