Failing schools, corrupt city officials, and now a wasted island. When will the people in Detroit get some pride and say enough is enough? I can understand why people don't want to live in Detroit. I can also understand why businesses don't want to locate in Detroit. Charge people by the car load or close the island at a certain time. Once again I just want to thank all the hooligans for destroying what was once a great place to work, live, and play.

Make Belle Isle a Metro Park and charge a few bucks per car. This will fund the cleaning and upkeep, and keep some of the yahoos away.

When I was a youngster 40 years ago and lived in Detroit my parents and I would go to Belle Isle for a Saturday or Sunday picnic and spend most of the day and some of the night without fear of anything happening to us. Now I am afraid to go there during the day and would not be caught DEAD after dark because when it gets dark it really gets DARK!

Belle Isle used to be a beautiful place with a lot to offer. It is now a disgusting dirty and unkempt place. I say sink the island, it would be far better underground, then you don't have to deal with all the low-life people who go there to do drugs.

What was and is is night and day! Another area of detroit destroyed by individuals who cannot respect property and themselves. The place and the beach can be beautifully prepped right before an event but walking on the beach you still get those damn chicken/rib bones stuck between your toes.
