If you are facing North, Welcome to Canada, eh.
If you are facing South, Welcome to the U.S. of A!
If you are facing East or West, Get out of the road before you get run down!!!

This is the Ambassador Bridge, which spans from Windsor, Ontario to Detroit, Michigan. The Ambassador bridge claims to be North America's number one international border crossing. (I take it they're not including the desert outside of Tijuana in their survey, are they?...) At an amazing 9,200 feet in length, the Ambassador Bridge was the longest suspension bridge in the world when it was built back in 1929.

According to the bridge's Web site (and how many bridges do YOU know that have their own Web site, hmmmm???), "the Ambassador Bridge was named by Joseph Bower, who thought the name "Detroit-Windsor International Bridge" was too long and lacked emotional appeal." Now, in my opinion, they missed out on a perfect opportunity to refer to the "Detroit-Windsor International Bridge" as "D.W.I.B." They could've even made a team mascot out of it - the Detroit Dwibs! No?

Bill also notes: "The picture was taken on the Ontario side of the bridge, making it an official across the border shot. I also lost an official $100 at the casino... Canada could have been a little more appreciative of the beans quest I think. Eh?" I couldn't agree more...

To cross the bridge into Canada in your '68 Buick, it'll run you $3 bucks. To come back to America, it's $2.25. A regular bargain. Personally, I'd recommend heading to Canada for some MacIntosh Toffee, Tim Horton Donuts, a Barenaked Ladies concert, and that extra-potent Molson Canadian. Then, come back to the U.S. for the WWF, In & Out Burgers, Britney Spears, and the "Egg-Wave".
