Some notable street names in Windsor Ontario are:

Tecumseh Rd.
Dougall Ave.
Wyandotte St.
Oulette Ave.

One of the notable high schools in Windsor include Kennedy Secondary School. Do they still have grade 13 in Ontario?

The place is damn flat with all roads parallel and perpendicular.

Umm lets see what else. Jackson Park has some nice flowers and such, including a WWII bomber set up as a rememberance monument.

But do keep Windsor in mind for trivia questions asking about going North from Canada to get to the US.

It's also the home of University of Windsor.

Seems they have a web site http://www.city.windsor.on.ca/home/

I'm glad I don't live there anymore. Rather boring. Love ya Boston.

Regarding Windsor in Berkshire, England.

The only time when I actually did really fear for my life.
I was in a pub with a few mates, guys and girls, having a few drinks and a bit of a laugh, as you do.
This pissed "geezer" comes over to our table, plants himself down beside one of the girls and starts harassing her basically.
My friend was obviously distressed so I asked the guy, politely, to just go away. He took grave offence to this and said he was going to kill me outside the pub.
Naturally, I almost shat myself at such a bold statement. What worried me even more was the venom with which he said it.
I told the bouncers about this guy and they said if there was any trouble they would sort it out.

Fine, no problem.

So, we all leave the pub. As I walk out the door, I feel an dull thwack on the back of my head, and I go down. I am stunned, on my arse on the pavement, looking up at this guy, who looks like a total maniac.
He said "You're going to fucking get it now you cunt." and with that took a knife from his back pocket.
At this stage I was saying prayers to every god I could think of.
Then, luckily, out of nowhere, one of the bouncers sucker punched the guy on the back of the head (must be en vouge in Windsor or something) while another bouncer hit the guy on the arm with a pool cue, knocking the knife free from his grip. They then subdued him until the police came.

I didn't press charges against the guy as there would have all sorts of shit afterwards if I did, but he was done for having the knife anyway.
Even so, I was never so glad to be leaving anywhere in my entire life.

These days Windsor (the one in Canada) is without a doubt 'the Tijuana of the North,' a city just across the border where Metro Detroit parties, gambles, and stocks up on duty free liquor and Cuban cigars, then gets the hell out.

On Friday and Saturday nights, the line of cars full of teenage Michiganians heading South (that's right, South) into the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel and the Ambassador Bridge is immense as they set out to take advantage of the generous Ontario drinking age (19). At this time of day their grandparents are likely to be passing in cars the other way, heading back from the casino, although this is tide is somewhat stemmed now that there are casinos in Detroit. Then at closing time the process mirrors itself in the other direction, only worse because everyone goes back at once. The Michigan highway patrol has installed breathalizer stations just beyond customs.

The low drinking age is not the only cause of the curious phenomenon that the major urban hang out location for the Detriot area is in another nation. It is also helped by the pedestrian friendliness of downtown Windsor as opposed to Detroit, and the lack of safe streets on which to party in the motor city. In short:

"Welcome to Windsor, the cultural center of Detroit!"

Windsor, Ontario is home to the most dense collection of bars, dance clubs, lounges, and strip joints, in Canada. There are over 60 establishments in a 2.4 kilometer radius, including Casino Windsor.

Windsor also contains the busiest international border crossings in North America, the Ambassador Bridge and the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel. Over and through both of these crossings more than 25% of all commercial trade between Canada and the United States flows, and more than 40,000 vehicles a day cross.

Windsor is otherwise quite possibly the most boring city in the world. Its current population is 218,000 and despite this ever growing number, the downtown and commercial districts experience little or no positive growth. Also, suffering in Windsor is culture, of which you are lucky to lick any from the seats of the Capitol Theatre. A multi-million dollar arena has been in proposition for over 20 years, though an arena, the cost, and the origin of the money has never been agreed upon. The lack of cultural and commercial expansion in the city is currently unexplainable.
