Yes indeed I grew up in Detroit and they used to take us to Boblo Island every school year for a class trip. It was like the biggest thing that ever happened in my life when I was a kid. Not saying much I know .. but we were poor folk.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24513273 Same here...Hard to believe now with all the hyped
things kids can do NOW....that a ride on a big boat to an
amusement park would be that big a deal, but it really
was so! Those were the days when the MO-TOWN SOUND was
gaining popularity and there was electricity in the air.
I worked a whole spring to save the money for a group
of 12 friends to go to Boblo for my birthday. It was
such a great time and I'll never forget it!
Thanks for the memories, OP!
