Crossing the border to the states

I'm in windsor now, and i need to go over to detroit to check out some stores. i havnt crossed the border in like 7 years. Has anything changed?, i heard that you need a passport now, is that true or can i still cross with a Ontario Drivers licence? i dont have anyother id, cause im here on work for a few weeks.

nope, just 2 pieces of identification

for example: Drivers Licences, Citizenship

i live in leamington, like 30 min from windsor, just crossed twice last week, dont need a passport, just birth cirtificate. sometimes they ask for ownership. also they charge you once each way but only 4 bucks.
