The border between Canada and the USA separates Derby Line, Vermont from Stanstead, Québec.

On My way back to New York I stopped a couple of hours.

The border line separates 2 communities and sometimes runs across homes, libraries, stores.

In the past few years the border controls have became stricter and somehow creates a surreal situation for people that just live one street away from each other.

the border might just seem a painted line easy to cross, but there are cameras and sensors everywhere, You can't cross without reporting even if you have been living there for 80 years.
