The Burning Question (Literally, Don't Try to Drive Across the Detroit River): How Far is Windsor from Detroit?
Let's be honest, we've all been there. You're staring at a map, planning a weekend getaway filled with poutine and Motown, and suddenly a crucial question arises: How far is Windsor from Detroit, anyway?
Fear not, fellow adventurer, for this is where I swoop in, cape billowing dramatically (though perhaps not literally, because capes are a pain in the summer heat).
Tip: Focus more on ideas, less on words.
The Short Answer (Spoiler Alert: It's Not Far)
Reminder: Revisit older posts — they stay useful.
Get this: Detroit and Windsor are practically BFFs in the city world. They're separated by a mere hop, skip, and a jump (or a quick bus ride) across the Detroit River. We're talking about a distance that's shorter than the runway at most airports.
Tip: Pause if your attention drifts.

- Metric System Fanatics: For those who prefer their distances in kilometers, Windsor is a breezy 4 kilometers from Detroit. That's basically a walk in the park (emphasis on the park, not accidentally driving into the river).
- Imperial System Enthusiasts: For our friends who speak in miles, Windsor is a measly 2.6 miles away from Detroit. That's shorter than most grocery store runs.
So Short, You Could Practically Throw a Frisbee (But Please Don't)
