it was like that in the early to mid 90's too. nothing better than changing $200 US into $300 canadian before crossing the border on your way to Casino de Montreal! "I'm already up $100 bucs and not even at the casino yet"
And then when you changed it back were you like "DOH!" or did you just lose it all?
Also prices and promotions have usually been better in the US (see gas prices and such) People still visited plattsburgh for shopping when it was down at around 75 ish.
