Thats what I heard.... My parents said they would never go back for that weekend also...

That island was ruined along time ago. The day it went from a boating destination to a frat house cluster f bringing in as many idiots as humanly possible by ferry and jet.

I grew up there with my dad being there every week in the late 80s to about the late 90s. It was fun back then not a fan of down town and the public docks now a days. That's just me thow

Looks like the best time to visit Downtown Detroit is the same weekend as Christmas in July at PIB. Some people dont change no matter where they visit.

Yup that is why I don't go to that island any more. It may not always be that bad but it's just not a fun place for me to go any more. And even worse now pib has that reputation for ever now...... pib aka hood island..... next thing you know there will be shoot outs and stabbings in the park f that chit.
