Windsor is actually quite nice. Some of my earliest memories are of going
through that tunnel as a little boy.
My cousins from Detroit are all in the outer suburbs, and rarely venture
into the city. When I was there twenty years ago for a visit I insisted in
going to Detroit proper.

It is a rough and depressing city. The Downtown riverfront is apparetnly
nice, but that is about it.

I was only in An Arbor brifely, but always feel at home in "boho" college
towns. Seemed real nice.
