An interesting thing, at the far northwestern corner of Maine, where it's entirely uninhabited logging forests, there is a Canadian town that spills over slightly into the US. It was considered Canada until a more accurate survey revealed that a number of houses and convenience store, are in Maine. Now the Maine side has a population of 4. In some houses, the international border runs right through the house, some have Canadian front yards and Maine backyards. There is an understanding that the residents can use their entire property without have to go through customs. There is a customs station there due to the Canadian logging trucks that get their logs from that Maine forest.
There was an incident with US Border patrol agents when they arrested someone going to the convenience store, and drove him all the way to Augusta to be booked, and did some time in jail because he was a felon in possession of a gun. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estcourt_Station,_Maine#Michel_Jalbert_incident
(A detail that I love so much is that I can go into the woods here and get to that point over 100 miles away without ever seeing a paved road.)
Are thoses parentheses proper grammer?
You mean "grammar" ?
