Nothing exciting here in the northern burbs of Detroit. But I get a kick out of peoples reaction when I tell them I live west, north AND south of Canada but am still in the continental United States.
I'm about five miles north of the border, but to get there I need to go north. The only road you can take south ends up making a northwestern turn about two miles south of me and never gets closer to the border. Take the same road north and very soon you hit a road headed southeast that leads right to the border.
Check out the entrance to Downstream casino in NE Oklahoma. You have to go into Missouri to get on highway 400 which enters Kansas, then the entrance road takes you back into Oklahoma.

Not quite. The north parking lot is actually in Kansas.

USA Today named Bisbee one of the best small towns to retire to, with rents some 30% below the national average.
