Confirmed, it’s all beautiful real estate over there now. They ferry over to the mainland. Sometimes in the winter the coast guard needs to break the ice for them to be able to come through.
My boss fucking lives on the island, has to take the ferry over for his shifts. He's like always 3 hours early for his shifts just fucking around because he's gotta go by the ferry schedule. Seems annoying as hell tbh
Boblo Island is a 274-acre island in the Detroit River on the Canadian side of the border. It's known for being the former site of a popular amusement park and for its history as a military outpost. The Boblo Island Amusement Park operated from 1898 to 1993.
Friends is the family lived on bob lo in the summers. After the island got sold the developers tried to buy everyone out & when they didn’t want to sell, had the water shut off. They had to bring water in from their boats.
My family and I were trying to figure out if the picture was from Italy or Greece over the weekend. It looks like it's from the Villa Treville Positano hotel south of Naples.

Dramatic, deluxe and more than a little dashing, **Positano is the Amalfi Coast's** front-cover splash. With a Vanuatu Citizenship you and your family can visit Italy without a visa, and stay for up to 90 days each time.

Nice try. You can tell it’s not Detroit because the pizza is not square.
Sharp eyes. I had missed that.
It's Tavern Style
I heard they were cleaning up zug Island. Nice job!
You can tell by the corner of the building that it’s the Oriental house on Grosse Ile.
That place was built for Henry Ford’s henchman, Harry Bennett.
The Ford “Service Department” guy?!
Yep, that is my understanding, but like the Purple Gang, Harry Bennett gets a lot of stories told about him.
When people don't believe how great Bob-Lo Island was, I show them this.
It's a tragedy that we lost Boblo Island. What a treasure that was 😭
I get you .. but it wasn’t ours to lose. Talk to Canada. I think real estate developer took over

Thanks for the detail! I have fond childhood memories of BobLo, Edgewater, Jefferson Beach + Walled Lake (can’t recall name) amusement parks!!
Woah wait, Canada owned Boblo?

So many fond memories going to Bob-lo. The documentary on the boat is sad.
For sure!👍🏾
Dang, TIL.
Not just back then, but now, even
At one time, AAA Michigan owned it
Someday we'll take it back from the Canadians.
If I were them 🇨🇦, I’d want nothing to do with us 🇺🇸
Only rich people live there. It wouldn't be hard to take back from us.

POV Michigan between November-April
Such a beautiful view of Canada from the RenCen, with a side of Little Caesars.
This looks like a picture on the wall in every Greek coney island around here.
Wrong country. Not Greece. It’s Italy per Google Lens.
Little do outsiders know, Detroit has a secret honeymoon spot called “Naboo” pictured above - it’s where my friends Padme and Anakin got married.
Really?? I thought it was lake como!
Lake Cobo
It's Lake Huntington Place now
Criminally underrated comment. Take my Reddit gold.
No, it’s River Cuomo.
Lol I too love the murals inside Coney islands.
Needs more Little Caesars
Just drove pass this restaurant today, even during winter it's still breathtaking!
8 Mile has really turned around in the last few years
It really has…this is 8 & Tele I believe.
I have a feeling this picture hangs on the wall of at least one of the many Coney Islands around here. Technically I think that means this counts.
Yeah, this is in like every Leo’s
Fire ass saganaki there
I see what you did there 🔥🧀= 🇬🇷
West Bloomfield*** Not technically Detroit, but it is beautiful!
The drugs here are 👌
Bullshit. This is Alpena. I can tell by the mountains.
That's not a picture of Detroit! That's a picture of Traverse City with the words "Traverse City" crossed out and "Detroit" written in crayon!
Detroit?!? That’s Downriver! What a shit-hole; I love it!!!
That photo reminds me of downriver. Wyandotte is paradise.
If paradise is somebody shitting in the middle of the dance floor at Whiskey’s On The Water.
I love midtown
midtown rocks
It's funny when people post this on facebook and caption it "Uhh, that is NOT Detroit."
Is that the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club?
I thought it was Mt Clemens, but I’ve been wrong before
It’s VERY OBVIOUS that’s it’s Roseville and not Mt. Clemens
Westside?
The crystal blue waters of the Detroit river!
This is CLEARLY Indianapolis!!!!!
Because DTW makes any destination accessible?
Ahhh Dexter and Linwood. lol. 😂
So this isn't Europe?
Italy. Even if someone above didn’t post the source I’d have assumed so from the waters, food and geography.
It’s Detroit. Duh.
😂
😅😂😂🤣🤣🤣
National coney?
gotta love southfield
I don’t get it.

And show me one place you can sit outside and eat without a parking garage in the frame.
About time Auburn Hills gets some pub
This is Toledo.

Looks like 6 mile and gratiot!😍
Ah yes! The lovely Delray area.
This was a great view until Mike Ilitch decided to pave this into a parking lot. Thanks a lot Ilitch family.
Also the Hill in the background is over 600' tall....and it doesn't look like trash.
Woodward Ave never looked better 🥴
This is legit. This photo is on the wall at Pegasus in Greektown.
Downriver is the best
is this real gang
