best Canada memory
So Detroit/Windsor have a shared July fireworks festival on the Detroit River. It is always way too crowded on the Detroit side for me to bother going.
A few years back I schedule a talk on Patents for a small business group inChatham (an hour in) then I find out it was fireworks night. So I load up the wife and kids and figure we'll wathc from the Windsor side. The talk was to end about 2 hours before the first BOOM- but several people wanted to talk to me and ask questions, by the time I get out it's only an hour off. As we hit the Windsor outskirts I can hear the initial booms, and I really don't know where to go to have a good view- w/o another idea I keep heading for the Ambassador Bridge- anyway the Bridge is empty, and the fireworks are going off directly to our right and about the height we were at on the bridge. I went about 1 MPH across the bridge and we had the best view in either country.
Fireworks over- I hit customs and was the freeway before anyone else could even get to their car- I did skip dutyfree to beat the mob.
