Ok...a few more from the same area:
First, the borderline runs right throught the living room of the
apartment...Canada right, U.S. left.
Second, a bordermarker (554 W) embedded in the sidewalk in front of the
apartment building...U.S. right, Canada left.
Third, a "Welcome to Vermont" sign FAR into Canada (you can see the divided
apartment in the background, Canadian side facing the camera). I don't get
this - I know the people who put up the signs probably do not care about
the border, but this just is not even close (maybe 15-20 meters into
Canada...I'm not the best at estimating distances though!).
