Hi, neighbo(u)rs: Detroit businesses look forward to return of Windsorites
CBC
During the pandemic, the lack of Canadian customers at Detroit's famous Eastern Market has been noticed — and they've been missed.
"We missed our Windsorites, if that's the correct term," said Sam Morykwas, senior marketing manager of Eastern Market Partnership.
"I don't think people always understand how close the Eastern Market is to Windsor and how frequently people come over, especially to our Saturday market. And we've also seen a lot of people jumping in on social media with messages of, you know, 'can't wait till the border's back open' and 'we're excited to be there' and 'I can't wait to see my favourite vendors again."
But the wait is almost over for those reunions between vendors and customers, between sports fans and their teams, between families, friends — and of course, neighbours and neighbors (depending on which side of the border you're on).
