Bitch, please.
Um, we're about 2 to 3 hours from Detroit.
Eta - nice edit. Almost. We're about an hour from London, too.

I already edited that. I meant to write London. I don't know what the hell is wrong with me to day.

No need to tell me where Brantford is. I am, after all, a hockey fan.
Yes, we're all like "bow down to The Gretzky..."
and when we say it, we're all zombie-like and we drool. It's more like a chant than saying it, though.

The thing about Detroit is that it doesn't stink in any literal sense. I posit that all the all the trash that might other wise offend the senses is being pushed into the pot holes which would not be out of place in war era Kosovo.

No offense to our esteemed members from London, but Brantford = Gretzky.

How sad that all we're known for is Gretzky. I mean, we also take land away from Native Canadians, and then when they attempt to assert their ownership, we threaten to call in the army.
We're a proud bunch.

Detroit's not so bad. The last time I was there (Detroit proper, I mean, not the suburbs) we saw a ballgame, and I was verbally assaulted by a Thai waiter for not wanting to pack up my leftovers and take them with me, while my dinner companions laughed. We also went to an Egyptian exhibit at a museum, but I recall little of that because I was hungover.
Good times.

I was verbally assaulted in Detroit, too.
Of course I was wearing my 49ers winter jacket at a Lions game, but still.

I know! I could do tourism ads for them. "Detroit: You'll do fine here if you're thick-skinned."
Oh yeah. At the ballpark, a woman selling beer got pissy with me because a couple of Canadian coins slipped in with the money I was trying to pay her. 'scuse me lady that your valuable American money deigned to share wallet space with my nation's piss-poor excuse for a currency.

I bet she was wishing she had those Canadian coins now... since her house was repossessed and she lost her job- HAHA! OH SWEET IRONY!
... I realize I'm generalizing a bit, sue me...

Is it wrong that I view the rise of the Canadian dollar and the collapse of the American economy as a tiny victory for me?
Take THAT, you mean beer woman!

I also enjoy a perverse pleasure in watching our dollar increase... mostly thanks to all those Canadian quarter jokes Americans like to make 
also, driving to my cottage this weekend, there was a pre-built dock store called "Dock In A Box"
I had no camera at the time otherwise the hilarity of this statement would be increased by at least 10 fold....
Step 1: cut a hole in the box...

As am I. I was 17 at the time and a wee bit frightened at first.

I had forgotten about that, you're right.
I actually can't say much about Brantford except the last time I was there for a tournament my son was playing in, I couldn't help but think how sad it was that the downtown strip had just died like that. Has there been any revitalization?
