Summer Dreams

Bob-lo Island is now home to dozens of luxury homes and condominiums for the well to do, but for nearly one hundred years it was Everyman's playground. Located eighteen miles south of Detroit and just west of Amherstburg, the island was Detroit and Windsor's favorite summertime destination. In Summer Dreams: The Story of Bob-Lo Island, Patrick Livingston reveals the island's fascinating history, from the British occupation of the island in 1783 to its development as an amusement park and its current reincarnation as a resort community. More than just a glossy nostalgia trip, Summer Dreams also exposes the back story of racism, youth gangs and mismanagement of the island.Livingston, Patrick is the author of 'Summer Dreams', published 2008 under ISBN 9780814333655 and ISBN 0814333656.
