Marine City, Michigan

Thanks, Keith. Maggs pointed out tat this has a distinct air of Walt Disney about it. It's remarkably well-preserved, too.

A very substantial and colourful house, John. The snow adds a nice touch.

This was quite an idyllic excursion, George. Marine City is on the St. Clair River, which the Canada-US border runs down the middle of. At the time there was an international car ferry between Marine City and Sombra, Ontario. After a pleasant drive along the river from Sarnia we crossed on the ferry, The ice was breaking up, the sun was bright, and the view was spectacular. And then we spent a fair time in Marine City oohing and aahing at all the fine buildings. Unfortunately, a few years later the Canadian ferry pier was destroyed by ice and the ferry company could not afford to rebuild.
