"Beginnings are important.  Our births are the starting point for our lives, and so will this birth.  That's why tonight we will begin to take over the birthing ground for our new nation."

The crowd cheered.

"You know what i was told?  I was told that that you can't be born or raised in a place that doesn't exist.  But true inspiration is not constrained by the artificiality of borders imposed by men of narrow vision.  We must never stop believing in a better world, a world promised to us in our national anthem, a song handed down across the generations, waiting for the chosen sons and daughters to embrace its message.  You rode into this train depot, and at midnight, we will walk into the promised land, and the streetlights will be our witness!"

The cheers exploded.  The clock struck twelve.  The invasion of Windsor had begun.

The Windsor Star Centennial Edition in 1992 covered the city's past, its success as a railway centre, and its contributions to World War I and World War II. It also recalled the naming controversy in 1892 when the town of Windsor aimed to become a city. The most popular names listed in the naming controversy were "South Detroit", "The Ferry" (from the ferries that linked Windsor to Detroit), Windsor, and Richmond (the runner-up in popularity).
