MMmmMMmmMMMmMMmmmMMmmmM-Azing :yes:

Windsor should build a skyline better than Detroits, the bar is pretty low I think there is a chance since Canada.

Here's a couple shots I took recently

Is that a gay bar? certainly a lot of guys dancing together....

I doubt it. It looks like the guys are mingling through the crowd trying to get closer to the snatch dispersed throughout the crowd.

In context with Detroit on the right :

/\ That's awesome. I've NEVER seen a pic from that angle, and I live here.

They were taken on Belle Isle in Detroit.

The skyline looks big here.

Nice pictures! Is it common for Windsor residents to cross over to Detroit and vice-versa?

Nice pictures. I think Windsor's been secret getting prettier. How often do Windsorites go to, say, Farmer Jack's or Texaco across the border just for groceries or gas?

Usually Windsor has the lowest gas prices in the country...so I doubt many actually cross over for the sole purpose of refueling. I know lots of young Detroit people come over to Windsor because the drinking age is only 19 in Ontario compared to 21 in Michigan.

Very common.

Sounds kinda crazy but that's one of the top priorities of the mayor right now.

How often do Windsorites go to, say, Farmer Jack's or Texaco across the border just for groceries or gas?

When the US/Canadian dollars were similar back in the early '90s, this was fairly common. I remember my parents going over quite a bit for gas and shopping. Doesn't happen now though because of the low Canadian dollar and the much higher tolls to get across the border.

I went to the American side not too long ago and couldn't believe how much their cheese product cost down there. It's like 99 cents for cream cheese!! Whoa!

I dont quite understand all the low quality bar shots..I am sure some forumers have better Windsor photos than this? Lets see them!

^ Hey, I posted a couple! Allright, here's a few more I've taken...

I like the first Windsor skyline shot, and the few pics you posted, Blitz, of the downtown, the crispier ones!

Here are my photo tours of vibrant Windsor, in case if anybody is interested:

Thanks Blitz! Youre our one good oldschool Windsor forumer. :) Youre good at repping your city.

Thank you fellow old-schooler. :)

I must be the one bad one then.

^ You're an excellent Windsor rep, Oar. About old-schoolers...those are the people that were here well before SSC even existed (when it was known as WSF).

... and I am just a growing enthusiast of Windsor! Too bad most people get it confused with its big brother across and north the border and river. Although I admit sometimes I did go a little (or maybe a lot) overboard.

I met a person who was visiting the city from Alberta the last time I was there, and he told me he thought Windsor was "beautiful" and "interesting", when he saw me with my digital camera. Certainly it is that in some areas of the city, although I think "vibrant" is a better the riverfront and areas of Windsor, because when I first visited the city four years ago, I thought VIBRANT was the perfect word for the downtown and waterfront. A lot better than I thought it would be. He told me to visit Alberta sometime, but I can't afford it right now.

Jaybird most excellent moped journey to Alberta! lol ;)

Hey no worries, I'm tough. I can take a cheap shot in the dark from Victorians. :cheers:

Thanks for the pix! Been years since I saw Windsor..
And, it has one advantage in that it has really mild
winters!! :)

You mean Vancouverites. :) (C'mon man, GET IT RIGHT!) ;)

Bah! You were a Victorian weren't you!? Until recently?

Yes, until two years ago. ;)

Here's a new Windsor gallery just added today, the Ottawa Street Shopping Town, or Windsor's SECOND Downtown:
