“About 6 months ago I first heard about Belle Isle...”
More years ago than I can remember I was in Detroit several times, always over the Labor Day weekend. I lived in Iowa in those days. I do remember Belle Isle...really a great place. I also remember the hydroplanes, the big ones, racing on the Detroit River. Saw one of them flip. Detroit was a really great place to visit in those days.
Later when living in Ohio and raising a family, we went to Dearborn Village and the Ford Museum. Very educational...for me and for the kids.
I had my first taste of Vernor’s in Detroit those many years ago...draft Vernor’s! I was hooked! One time there one of those Chrysler gas turbine cars (body by Ghia) was beside me at a traffic light. Amazingly quiet. And it had acceleration. Wanted one!
Belle Isle struck me as being a beautiful place.
By the way,I have never even heard of Vernor’s. (I’m in MA.) Guess I missed out on something.

my oldest sister married and moved to Maryland...everytime my mom went to visit her she had to take a case of Vernors. Its a good drink, warmed and with a bit of lemon when you have a cold. Real warm but not hot...
