Thanks to Brooke I have discovered the joy of Belle Isle during the summer. There is nothing more beautiful than seeing the sun set over the city other than a harvest moon rising behind you. For your “Belle Isle fix survival kit” I would highly recommend a citronella candle to ward off the bugs by the beach at night. Also, I have never seen such a production as the preparations that are taking place for the Grand Prix this weekend. Traffic is being diverted, tents erected, an ungodly number of porta-potties, and guards for all of the aforementioned.
