Based on some of the comments I've seen on here, I think some people would be surprised to see that Toronto has a whole collection of pre-war skyscrapers (some over 100 years old), and it's not entirely a skyline of glass condos that have sprung up from nothing in the last 25 years. hah

No to mention all the busy late 19th and early 20th century highly walkable neighbourhood commercial strips criss-crossing the old city outside the downtown core. The best parts of Toronto tend to be pretty damn
old, and quite gritty (often verging on run down looking) to the eye.
