Anybody raised in Detroit remembers going to the amusement park on Boblo Island. But most Detroiters don’t know the real name was actually “Bois Blanc Island”, and that the Boblo boat was really two boats – The SS Columbia and The SS Ste. Claire. Due to competition from Cedar Point, Boblo Island shut its doors in 1993. This particular photo is courtesy of The Michigan Standard, who innovated the online newspaper in Michigan.

Taken in 1956, this area of Detroit has remained unchanged. The Woodward hump over 8 Mile is still there, physically marking the transition from Detroit into the northern suburbs – in this case, Ferndale.
