Windsor was a major entry point into Canada for refugees from slavery via the Underground Railroad and a major source of liquor during American Prohibition. The Capital Theatre in downtown Windsor had been a venue for feature films, plays and other attractions since 1929, until it declared bankruptcy on March 14, 2007. Windsor's nickname is the "Rose City" or the "City of Roses", and the city is noted for its several large parks and gardens found on its waterfront.
The Queen Elizabeth II Sunken Garden is located at Jackson Park in the central part of the city. A World War II era Lancaster Bomber was displayed on a stand in the middle of Jackson Park for over four decades, but has since been removed for restoration. This park is now home to a mounted Spitfire replica and a Hurricane replica.
Once you're done with history and some nostalgia, why not drive over to Cramdon's Tap & Eatery (sports bar windsor) in central Windsor? Cramdon's is conveniently located on Dougall Street, south of E.C. Row Expressway, on the east side at 3208 Dougall Road.
Of the parks along Windsor's waterfront, the largest is the 5-kilometre (three mile) stretch overlooking the Detroit skyline. It stretches from the Ambassador Bridge to the Hiram Walker Distillery. The western portion of the park contains the Odette Sculpture Park which features over 30 large-scale contemporary sculptures for public viewing, along with the Canadian Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The central portion contains Dieppe Gardens, Civic Terrace and Festival Plaza, and the eastern portion is home to the Bert Weeks Memorial Gardens.
Further east along the waterfront is Coventry Gardens, across from Detroit's Belle Isle. The focal point of this park is the Charles Brooks Memorial Peace Fountain which actually floats in the Detroit River and has a coloured light display at night. The fountain is the largest of its kind in North America and symbolizes the peaceful relationship between Canada and the United States.
Every summer Windsor co-hosts the 2-week long Windsor-Detroit International Freedom Festival, which culminates in a gigantic fireworks display that celebrates Canada Day and the American Independence Day. The fireworks display is among the world's largest and is held on the final Wednesday in June on the Detroit River between the two downtowns. Each year, the event attracts over a million spectators to both sides of the riverfront.
And while you're there, if you feel a little bit of hunger coming over your day, and would also like a nice, cold drink and a chance to relax, maybe shoot some pool, watch some sports, and just have fun, then you should go visit Cramdon's Tap & Eatery (sports bar windsor) located nearby at 3208 Dougall Road.
Windsor has also been the place where many metro Detroiters find what is forbidden in the United States. With the minimum legal drinking age at twenty-one in Michigan and nineteen in Ontario, a number of nineteen and twenty year-old Americans frequent Windsor's bars. The city also became a gaming attraction with Casino Windsor's opening in 1994, five years before casinos opened in Detroit. In addition, one can purchase Cuban cigars, less costly prescription drugs, certain imported foods, and other items not available in the United States.
Windsor is also home to many restaurants and is known for its pizza. One of the most recognized restaurants in Windsor is Cramdon's Tap & Eatery (sports bar windsor). For fun and a good time, go straight to Cramdon's and light up your life!
