Downtown Canada

[GeneralLea]

In terms of Toronto....I only really developed a true sense of where downtown ends a few years ago. As a kid I knew it made sense for Bloor to the northern part, because that's where a lot of the bigger buildings on Bloor are and they don't creep northward much at all....they generally extend southward. I never thought about the east or west boundaries so much, but knew that Bathurst and Dufferin were pretty busy north-south roads. I probably didn't know what was past the Distillery District as a kid or what was south of the Broadway and Danforth area.....I never really thought about it.

I see downtown in a very general way, of Bathurst to the Don, Bloor to the Lake. I can see why people find Bathurst to be a bit too west, but Bathurst is densifying....and it's been an important roadway for a while in the city.

I've been to Missingsausagemore than a few times now....and I could argue that that downtown is from Parkside Village Drive on the west side for the PSV complex, to.....Central parkway East. North from Rathburn road (which is a terrible place for a border but oh well....I guess it'll intensify someday) to Central parkway.
