    Our treat at the end of middle school band camp every year was a trip to Boblo - I was there in '87!

    I went to Boblo Island, when I was 4. Don’t remember going there with family. We didn’t take pictures, when we’re there. Not sure, why we didn’t bring camera, when we went on different vacations.

    If it was still open today, I wonder if they would require a passport/enhanced ID since it's a Canadian island?

      @@dm95422 well, maybe we could use the old belle isle zoo? Demolish some parts of it, you’re left with concrete pits conducive to concert amphitheaters (say that five times fast) and wide swathes of open land. Perfect for development as a throwback to Boblo.

      @@georgejetson1025 They didn't ask for paperwork or even ask any questions when you got on the boat. I don't remember anything at all about the boat and customs.
      In the early 80s, we used to cross over to Windsor to go drinking every week. They would just ask citizenship, place of birth, where we were going. Usually throw in a random question like how long we were going to be in Canada or if we were bringing in anything other than our personal belongings. Or any alcohol or tobacco. Once in a blue moon they might ask to see your ID.
      It wasn't unusual when coming back that the US would just ask where we were coming from. We would say whatever bar we had been at and they would just wave us through.
      Technically you were supposed to have ID and your birth certificate if you were a US citizen. But I had crossed the border hundreds of times with lots of people and we were never denied entry with showing nothing more than a driver's license.
      Ahh the good old days. Everything changed after 9/11 and I have never left the country since.
