Go to this site, and read under "Where are we?"

http://www.zacharymusic.com/Zachary_Music/Shipping.htm

Read the whole thing, but here's a taste:

<<We are in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Windsor is located just across the river from the big bad city of Detroit. I actually grew up in Windsor but moved away in 1980 and recently have returned. Windsor, the last time I checked is still a part of Canada, as they tell us, the best country in the world. Its a social utopia where no one can get rich since our wonderful prime minister keeps our money and takes care of it for us....>>

Whatever. Have lived in the environs for nearly 10 years, and haven't once been across the river to that "Mecca" of tourism...

About the only thing that gets advertised over here in big bad Motown-land is how much more you can win at the casino's in Canada as opposed to Detroit's casinos...

But it does irk me that if I want to listen to classical music, the only classical station I can get is CBC2 out of Windsor...

Canada is such an easy target... :) I'm so glad it's there... cuz otherwise the US would be sad and lonely and evil... all by its little lonesome.

Canada jokes are funny. It's hard not to laugh at a country that uses a Maple Leaf as the symbol for the flag. Oooooo the big bad, scary, all powerful Maple Leaf.... LOL

Nah... didn't even go to the link... Canada... ho hum... 

In these parts, for most folks, Canada is simply the 4 -5 hour car trip between SE Michigan and Western New York that requires crossing the border twice and the prayer you don't have to stop in between...

ETA... besides, the dude doesn't even offer french horns.  Beauty, eh?

Heh, Catherder, what is your temple district?

Columbus, Chicago, Palmyra, Toronto?

We don't have one in the great state of Michigan yet, heh?

Dude, you're kidding, right?  Where you been?  
 
Detroit Michigan Temple

Of course, it didn't get quite as big of billing as the Columbus Ohio Temple in terms of Church news or local media coverage despite Pres. Hinckley dedicating it.  The Columbus and Detroit Temples are only about 1 1/2 months difference in age.  And, since my wife and I grew up in Columbus, and had moved up here less than 2 weeks before Detroit was announced, we were able to attend the dedicatory services for both temples.

On a typical evening, depending on rush hour or post rush hour traffic, I can drive to it in 20 - 30 minutes from my house.  It is right next door to the Stake Center where Mitt's daddy was Stake President many years ago.

Oh, and the Temple President and Matron are members of our ward...
