Lots of fond memories. My grandmother grew up near there (ca 1900) and told stories about when the gas lights came to Jefferson Ave and how she and her sister would walk down to the river to watch the sailing ships go by. My brothers and I (ca 1960) would ride our bikes to Belle Isle.

Funny, but just last night I was thinking about that scene from the film Scarecrow with Gene Hackman and Al Pacino at the big fountain on Belle Isle.
