    And you seriously think Windsor is more "big city" and "urban" than Calgary, Ottawa, Hamilton, Edmonton, Winnipeg?
    I think what Lowell is suggesting is that you can experience the big city the same way any suburban Detroiter can. In other words you can take advantage of all the amenities-big league sports, concerts, museums, theater, etc. It isn't the same as living the "urban experience" any more than most suburbs are.

    Thank you for explaining what I assumed would be the obvious. Windsor is far closer to downtown Detroit than any suburb. It also offers a great tunnel bus service. If it weren't for the border Windsor would be considered as part of downtown.

    Ah I think I get it now. You consider living in Windsor as basically living in Detroit and you consider Detroit a big city experience. It depends on how you look at things I guess.
