What kinds of things fairly near the border are there to do in Canada, though? Preferrably in the same east/west area as Illinois...
Thanks, Canada! 
I'm not sure about anything near the Illinois border, because I've only been through the ones to michigan, but come visit Toronto anyways!
And then, when spring break starts, we'll probably go somewhere.

Toronto looks kind of far from Chicago...

That was my point. The entire project was mismanaged into oblivion before the boat bumped into a pier and developed a major tear! Let's not forget Rochester 'losing' a rather sizable check for that project nearly a decade ago now.

That's a decent estimate to within, say, 40 miles. Mind you, all he has to do is get on I-80 and drive east for 10 hours and he's 95% done.

I'll be in class I'm sure, but I have none wednesdays, so I can come down tuesday night.

I ended up seeing one of the last times it left the Rochester dock from the nearby beach. Glad I decided against taking a ride on that thing.
The thing is, see, I don't really care to see you. No offense, but I just don't know you. I don't think any of us Windsorites do. I wouldn't be opposed to it, either, I'm just not all like "OMG COME TO HERE!"

As far as being practical goes, Windsor would be the best place.

Yeah, I wasn't necessarily looking to meet anyone, just get suggestions on where to go/what to do.

You going with friends?
If so, what kind of things do you want to do? Windsor is known for drinking, bars/clubs, casino, etc.
If you're looking for a "tourist" kind of place, Windsor's not so great. Something like Toronto or Niagra Falls would be better suited for that.

Colasanti's Tropical gardens and zoo
little italy
a bunch of bars.
Overall, it would be worth the extra drive to get to London or Toronto. The women in London are much more amicable to *ahem* being kind to folks they've just met, and toronto is a nice city.
I would highly advise against either sarnia or Sault Ste. Marie. Something you may consider, depending on your ambitions, would be going to Stratford. It's near london, but it's definatly more of a small town / tourist town than a party town. It's a good place to take your woman (if applicable) but may not be ideal for march break excapades.
No, Really. Bite me.

I probably will bring a friend or two.
I'm not into touristy things for this, probably just would drive around and go to bars, I guess.

I'm a little afraid of meeting other ECers on account of the fact that I'm an asshole. I'm sure you'd all love to beat my face in.
The part about taking 'the woman' is not applicable. Waisz fucked around with this message on 02-26-2005 at 12:22 AM.
But I guess that's something everyone needs to learn on their own.

Go and get nice and messed up at around 10, then head out to a bar that doesn't suck and drink like two beers just to keep you going.
But speaking of my frat, a few of the guys actually decided, while drunk one night, to drive to Canada. And in fact, they did. And wound up paying $300 for an exotic massage, which basically was a massage where they were allowed to jerk themselves off.

Yes, thus the humor, because they were too drunk to realize how shafted (using the term lightly) they were getting.

Pfft, I can just get drunk at home.
I'm gonna take my truck to the dealership for some servicing, then go barhopping on my Harley and try to hustle a few games of pool
