    @AlexDaGator, you've got me all nostalgic now about the Ford Rouge Plant, Zug Island, and now what was Great Lakes Steel, then Nippon Steel, now US Steel just down the river from Zug Island. We would drive down to the park on the river at the end of Southfield Road at night and watch the sky light up when they would pour the slag off from the molten steel... was pretty incredible.

    Long overdue. We've been losing money making pennies forever.

    I'm just surprised Zug Island didn't make it into the Kokomo song.
  • Detroitgator Detroitgator:
    How Zug Island and Fordson Island further up the Rouge were formed is an interesting thing. Henry cut two straight channels so that his iron ore freighters could go up and down the river to the Rouge Plant. The only way to access Fordson Island (which is technically Dearborn) was a bridge on the Detroit side of the original river. During prohibition, it was a lawless place of debauchery
  • Detroitgator Detroitgator:
    Zug Island was a place that at night with the flames, looked like actual Hell

    I hear Zug Island is beautiful this time of year.
    there is a beauty to Zug Island... my Dad worked many a times on Zug Island. It's also where the Edmund Fitzgerald was actually headed, then on to Cleveland. There was an AWESOME dive bar right off of Zug Island called the Delray Cafe that we would go to when I would go home to Detroit. Zug Island is in the Delray section of Southwest Detroit... it was originally full a big Hungarian neighborhood with tons of great food places when I was young.

    so i choose to believe that's what Steve and the boys were singing about

    Let's re-write the lyrics. Born and raised in...Cleveland? St. Louis? Chicago? Philadelphia? Newark? Indianapolis? Gary? Pittsburgh? Actually, musically speaking, Louisville or Jacksonville would fit the song but lack the cache of South Detroit. Nah. I got nuthin'.

    just know that, contrary to what Journey tried to teach everyone, there is no "South Detroit"

    complete bullschit... Dixie Highway, on the other hand, is correct about running from "Dee-troit" all the way to Florida
