m-
i drove past the hoganburg's fire department
years ago (1979 to be exact)
and remember its slogan with two flags: one
from usa and one from canada.
so, they are probably not counting akwesasne.
i was driving from detroit to southern connecticut and took the "long
way",
i.e. via ontario, canada. i had just purchased the book "between
friends"
and took the opportunity to visit many of the border interests
that were
portrayed in that book: hoganburg, point rouses, derby line,
norton.
never did have to explain to others why an approximate 2 day,
900 mile trip
took me double that. i thought i was a member of club of
one...in fact,
never met anyone with my border interests until just a few
years ago, thanks
to the internet.

regards,
bob
