Drive to Canusa Street and eventally to the Haskell Free Library on the Canada/US border 

I've driven Canusa Avenue before. It's strange to see Quebec plates on one side and Vermont plates on the other. One house I saw...on the US side...had a little plaque with the US and Canadian flags on it. I've read that many people living in the two border towns are dual citizens because there was a time when the nearest hospital was in the US so that would automatically make a child with Canadian parents a US citizen.

This would literally drive me insane lol I'd be tempted to cross back and fourth all the time 😂 make breakfast in america, have lunch in canada lolol

Very interesting indeed! I took a closer look via Google Maps. Must be a strange situation for the US locals living in Canusa Street. It seems that they are free to enter Canada by just heading east. But they'll always have to pass that US checkpoint at the western end of the street when driving (southwards) into the US.

I find this really cool as someone from an island country (New Zealand). The idea that you can just cruise along a road with a different country on either side - very cool!

It was strange being stopped by a US border officer to let another car pass in front of me.

I wonder if a traffic collision were to happen in the middle of Canusa Street, who would respond? 🤔

One of the coolest tings I saw in summer 2020 by the library: there were 5-6 friends (or families?) lined up in their folding lawn chairs 2-3 on each side of the rocks border separating the two countries, just chatting and laughing. I happened to be driving by on the Caswell Ave side (US), I was very tempted to snap a picture, but there was no good place to stop. PS, I should add the border was totally closed because of COVID

Thanks... was very informative

Rue Principale actually means "Main Street".

when did they put the large stones on both side of the flower pots on the Border,, They were not there last year when I visited the Library in Sept 2017

I think it’s unfair you couldn’t go to your neighbours house! Like surely people cross over at night ?

So the Canadians are allowed to put road signs on the american side. Fascinating.

Little did I realize that I parked next to a fire hydrant. Luckily, I did not get ticketed.

I have a question for you. When you went south on Rue Principale and turned left to go on to the US side of Canusa street:- those houses there on the right, if you wanted to visit someone there would you have to report first to American customs or is it exempt like the US lane of Canusa street you were driving in?.

He parked right on top of the border he’s in between two countries

being that the road takes (curves into) canada that defeats the purpose of a customs checkpoint (right?)

Is there enough parking around to take a tour of the library & wander just in the Canadian side.

If you get into a car crash and end up on the other side. Is that illegal crossing?

that was a one crash parking :)

I wonder if i can cross to the usa in this without seing any border patrol
