There are family homes, and restaurants in northern Vermont / southern Quebec that have the national boundary line (and hense the tz region) running through the middle of the buildings. (Rock Island Qc/Vt, for example) This is not a big tz issue now since both Montreal & New York follow similiar rules, but it certaily must have been confusing in the 1990s for a few years when their dst rules were different! From Wikipedia: The Tomifobia River <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomifobia_River> runs through the town of Stanstead, dividing the U.S./Canadian border at times. Along portions of Canada's Canusa Street <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canusa_Street>, houses on the southern end of the street lie entirely within Vermont, while their driveways direct northward, and connect to the street in Quebec, as the northern portions of their properties are within Canada. These residents' backyard neighbours are American, while families living right across the street are Canadian, though no noticeable boundary exists between the two (the street itself is entirely within Canada). In other places, the international border runs through individual homes, so that meals prepared in one country are eaten in the other. An entire tool-and-die factory, once operated by the Butterfield division of Litton Industries <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litton_Industries>, is also divided in two by the border.^[16] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanstead,_Quebec#cite_note-16> On 2013-09-05 16:15, Guy Harris wrote:
