Due south?
Detroit is one of the only places in the US due north of a place in Canada.

The Ambassador bridge area runs almost but not quite North-South. On
the US side, it is about 1/2 mile (1 km) from some excellent Mexican
restaurants, which if you dine in the upper portions of Xochimilco
(http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=xochimilco,+detroit,+MI&layer=&ie=UTF8&z=13&ll=42.331393,-83.054066&spn=0.061421,0.113811&om=1&iwloc=A)
you can gaze (through the trees) due south, into Canada.
We have also been invaded by Canadian establishments; there are Tim
Horton's cropping up everywhere ...
