I’m headed out in the wayback machine, to a time before cancer. A little history of me, along with history of Detroit, to relaunch my site.
I recently saw a post on Facebook from a high school friend regarding a history film being made about the Boblo Boat Memories Wanted . The Boblo Boat (aka the SS Colombia) was the historic steamboat that transported you to Boblo Island, an amusement park in the middle of the Detroit River. I met my first boyfriend at Boblo Island, and the project inspired me to start writing again, and share my story for the film project…
In 1989, the summer before my freshman year in high school, my best friend’s family took me along on a day trip to Boblo Island. Being an island (and 1989), her parents let us run off on our own for the day, and we met a group of boys from a neighboring Detroit suburb. I hit it off with Mike, and we all spent the day riding roller coasters and walking the island. Mike won a stuffed blue bunny for me, that I have to this day.
