Quoted from FlipperFreak:I'd like to thank everyone in the pinball community for their vocal support of Nitro via Pinside, emails & phone calls. I have some very good news I'll be posting soon! Thx, T
Did I miss the announcement? It's been about a month now...
Quoted from PinPickle:You can drive to Niagara, cross via taxi, rent a truck and drive back across.
Or just get a pin shipper to pick it up. Wouldn’t be that expensive. Not sure what that title is worth.
I don't think this is accurate for a Canadian. They would not let you in on a land border. You could do the same if you fly to the nearest international airport and then drive back. Rental return would be another difficulty. Plus there is a ton of testing coming and going. It's not worth it. I'm in a similar position with an RV on a property near Seattle that I have not seen in almost two years. It's Brutal.
Quoted from PinPickle:My apologies, you are right. I know there’s a system that people have been using. People take cabs to the boarder and walk across into the US. It’s perfectly legal.
Walk across, rent a small uhaul van and drop it off in Niagara Falls. Pain in the ass… yes. I would do it if I didn’t have any other options. Shipping would be #1 option.
I'm not trying to troll or create an argument but I think your still missing the main point... The US will not let foreigners into the country through a Canadian land border crossing unless you are an essential service (ie. truck driver). Flying in is the only way. I wish it were different and I'm probably compelled to reply here because I am fueled with frustration since we let our border open to them but it's not reciprocal.
On another note, Oakville is awesome. I used to live on Rebecca around 3rd Line during my teens. There is so much I miss about the GTA that you just don't find here on the west coast. Mostly of a cosmopolitan nature. Fortunately it is offset by some pretty outstanding geographical amenities that I take advantage of all year.
And oh yeah... GO JAYS!
New article posted on CBC about a London Ont. pinball repair business. Hope this makes the phone ring some more. WTG.
