is Windsor really in America?

There is an article on ctools called "Borderline Blues..." from the September/October 2003 Canadian Geographic about the border crossing between Windsor and Detroit. It primarily discusses the ferry crossing and problems with excessive commercial traffic on the Canadian side. However it also includes some great bits about the history of the border from the personal perspective of the author who lived on there for years growing up. He asks whether Windsor is really more of an American city. Read it to find out why.

Unfortunately, I could only get this electronic version which omits the graphs and photos. I went to Hatcher yesterday to track down the hard copy, but it was missing from their bound journals! UGH! ...am still looking as I think the graphs would have some good info.
