MMM is sort of an interesting case. It actually would have marked a transitional area between urban Dartmouth and the suburbs in the late 1960s when planning began. On one side you had the Crichton Park area of Dartmouth and the rowing clubs surrounding Lake Banook. The clubs were certainly urban and while one could argue that the development of Crichton Park in the '50s and '60 was suburban, I would suggest it was more of a simple urban expansion in response to the growth of Dartmouth after the Macdonald bridge opened in the mid-'50s.

However, right there on the other side of the existing highway out of Dartmouth towards Westphal that was adjacent to the MMM site was most definitely suburbia, as was the development along the Circ to the west of MMM heading towards Woodside. So the site was right along the border, so to speak, if such a thing existed, which it did not.
