I read in an old travel book about Sandwich Street, located across the Detroit River in the Canadian town of Windsor. I bragged about the spot to the tour group because of the locale’s description—a quaint site with gift shops, restaurants, and touristic places. Also, it was unique to most of the sites we had lined up on this particular journey (the group had toured Greenville Museum and Mackinac Island). After Sandwich Street, we were to make our way home.
As the motor coach pulled onto Sandwich Street, we were not able to locate the particular area that held all of the wonderful places advertised. The driver took us up one side of the street and then down the other. The only thing remotely close to the area described was a place that housed a dilapidated laundromat, a tavern, and a closed-down convenience store.
After consulting my tour book to make sure I had not made an error, I saw that the description was there, but the site was not. Luckily, my group had a good sense of humor and a sense of forgiveness.
