This is from an old 8mm home movie film taken in 1968 of the approach to the Douglas MacArthur Bridge to Belle Isle in Detroit,MI. The Jefferson ave tunnel entrance seen in this film is long gone.

    This is priceless to me. I can't believe I found this. Brings back childhood memories of excitement when the car would emerge from the darkness of the tunnel to the bright sunlight and beautiful river views. Miss those days. Thank you for uploading.

    Remember this well. And don't forget it was expected that you blow your car horn as you passed through the tunnel.

    Even though a big sign said: "DO NOT SOUND HORN'! Why did they put that sign there?

    I believe that tunnel was removed before 1987. It happened in the late 70's

    I don't think we honked, but my brother could give this piercing whistle! It still reverberates! LOL

    I remember this. I also remember coming off the Ambassador bridge when we'd drive through Detroit on the way to my sister's house when I was a kid - and there wasn't a direct link to 75 yet, so you'd have to drive a few blocks through the hood. I was always scared shitless because I thought the black people wanted to kill me. But now that I've grown up, I've realized that I was absolutely right. They did want to kill me.
