This is a good ad. It also shows the new Gordie Howe bridge.

This is one in Dearborn where it is level from sidewalk to sidewalk. AFAIK I know it’s the only one in Dearborn, but I think more are planned.
A raised crosswalk, where the crosswalk is level with the sidewalks it connects.

Here's hoping he's dumb/stoned enough not to read up on local laws.
Recreational cannabis use in Iraq Recreational cannabis use in Iraq is strictly prohibited. The possession, sale, and consumption of cannabis are considered criminal offenses under Iraqi law. If caught with cannabis, individuals can face imprisonment and significant fines.

when you find yourself agreeing with Rand Paul …
