Ambassador Bridge

An interesting shot of an early University of Windsor campus. This likely date to the mid 1960’s as both Cody Hall (1961) and the addition to Electa Hall (1962) are visible in the photo.

From the back of the card:

AMBASSADOR BRIDGE
DETROIT, MICHIGAN – WINDSOR, ONTARIO

A 4 lane expressway route connecting all Michigan and Ontario expressways – 1 3/4 miles long. Bring your camera – park a moment – snap the beautiful view!

  • Begs the question, why the heck did they demolish part of Assumption University? And when?

  • I was in the park along the river a few days ago taking pictures of the bridge and other things and some rent a cop came running up to me and demanded I stop taking pictures and said I need to erase the ones I already took. I refused and he threatened to call the cops if I did not comply. I refused told him to go ahead and call. He pretended to be calling but no cops ever showed up. But he kept on watching me and followed me around.
