Adults of a certain age have fond memories of Boblo Island Amusement Park. They recall boarding a ferry in Detroit and being whisked away to an isle of fun and excitement. There were roller coasters, a space needle, a theater, and a huge old dance hall that was built by Henry Ford in the 1920s. The park had a bit of everything. That is until it started to fall into disrepair and couldn't keep up with bigger, "better" amusement parks such as Cedar Point and Six Flags. The park closed for good in 1993, and all that remains are a few last vestiges of what once was. MLive haunting remnants beat writer Ed Pevos shows us what the park, and the island, look like today.
