maddening where there are just markers, no walls, a pile of stone and the yellow line down the street. Even with check points manned by US and Canadian Border patrols. People can only use a certain section of sidewalks or entrance ways. I can see how this would ease the everyday hassles. Even with hundred of cameras, your papers please is crazy as you crisscross the area. I suspect they have collected info on residents here that work in Canada and those in Canada that work in US already.

Places like Derby Line Vt, Beebee Plan Vt, are example of the bizzare way of living that got worse since 911
