Lay's Potato Chips - Foreign Flavors
by truesunn
Make sure you stop at Becker's (much like 7-11) and try a bag of Lay's Ketchup or Dill Pickle flavored chips. While there are American immitations, Lay's cannot be beat! I still wonder why they do not have these flavors available in the USA...
DISTRICT COURT AND GAOL (JAIL)
by LoriPori
When the British withdrew from Detroit in 1796, they transferred the courts of the Western District to Sandwich (Windsor). A brick court house and Gaol, completed by 1820, served until 1856 when the present building was constructed. Designed in the Renaissance Revival style by Albert H. Jordan of Detroit, it was built by stonemason Alexander Mackenzie, who later became Canada's second Prime Minister.
It housed the Essex County Courts until 1963. Renamed Mackenzie Hall, the restored building opened in 1985 as a community and arts centre.
