DETROIT BELLE ISLE, GRAND PRIX (ROGER PENSKE)


Rare photo - fallow deer on Belle Isle posed for a photograph - Belle Isle, once a place where thousands held picnics, played and partied has been neglected by Detroit, who no longer can afford to maintain or provide for improvements. While the Mayor and City Council play games to try to maintain control instead of allowing the state to make it a state park, and allow them to make Belle Isle a destination for Detroiters and visitors. Belle Isle has been desecrated by the Grand Prix (Roger Penske) which paved over 10 acres ($7m) and now wants to extend the race track, one half mile more, thus making sightings of the deer even more rare. Detroit has failed to protect a valuable asset, now the state must step in.
