A postcard view from the early 1930s, looking at the entrance to what was then the new Windsor-Detroit tunnel. Despite all kinds of plaza improvements, and new buildings over the years, the flow has stayed the same. Enter on the right, and returning traffic makes a hard right to Park Street… I like the traffic warden on the little platform.
I remember the flags in the tunnel. The US flag just gained a couple of stars but the Canadian I remember as the Union Flag. Question: did the Canadian flag go directly from the Union “Jack” to the Maple Leaf or was there a time when the Red Ensign was there? Enquiring minds and all that…..
My recollection is that the Union Jack was official flag of Canada until introduction of the Red Maple Leaf, the Red Ensign was and is the flag of Ontario.
