It is described as a city of neighborhoods - each with it's own feel. There's also a faiyly hard demarcation between where people live (and live/work) and where they just WORK. Downtown core? Bay Street, King and Yonge, Eaton Centre, Town Hall?  Nobody lives there - they're just big chunks (of clean, crime free) concrete where millions of people sit in cubicles during daylight hours, and they pretty much roll up the sidewalks late in the evening. Of course it's largely bereft of personality.But that's NOT 'Toronto'. Toronto 'starts' a few blocks North, West and East of this core: the Beaches, or Queen West, or the Annex, or even Parkdale, or High Park, or Harborfront, or the Junction, or Bloor West Village or the Danforth...ALL of which are brimming in personality and energy and life. None resembles the others. All great places to live, work, hang out.Anytown USA? Bite me. Your BEST towns WISH they were this cool (okay, IMHO, you got some cool cities down there too - but don't diss my town, dudes.)A'Mal</blockquote>
