The Simpsons Visit Detroit and Windsor
Windsor, and Detroit showed up in the most recent episode of The Simpsons…
Unmistakable Windsor sights such as the Ambassador Bridge and the Detroit skyline from the Canadian side of the river were rendered in two-dimensional Simpsons fashion.
The plot of D’oh Canada — the 21st episode of The Simpsons’ 30th season — involves Lisa Simpson being granted political asylum in Canada.
Like any concerned mother, Marge Simpson decides to rescue her daughter by getting herself smuggled across the Ambassador Bridge in the trunk of a car.
No character actually mentions Windsor in dialogue, but a sign clearly shows the name of the city as Marge makes her border-crossing attempt.
Later in the episode, Lisa sits on Windsor’s riverfront, gazing at the immediately recognizable GM skyscrapers and Renaissance Center.
Homer and Bart eventually join Marge and Lisa, and the united Simpsons family runs for U.S. soil across the frozen Detroit River.
