Windsor was originally established as Sandwich in 1794. In 1854, it was established as a village. Currently, there are 216,000 people that live there.

I'm not sure what church this is, but I thought it was pretty neat.

The Hiram Walker Distillery, I think. During the 1930's, many of the Canadian alcohol manufacturers ended up locating themselves in Windsor because of its proximity to a major city in the United States. It was a major transit point for bootleggers. Many of those companies remain there. It was also a major transit point for the underground railroad before the Civil War.

I believe this is a power plant.

A grain elevator for the distillery.
Windsor is also known for its night life. "Windsor Ballet" is a term that you will hear in Southeastern Michigan by people that go to partake of said nightlife.
I haven't been to Canada since the rules for border crossing were changed. I think I may have to renew my passport so that I can go there again.
