Ha.
Well, fair enough! I think it's also about associating individual places with the North End. Field Guide, the Company House, Edna, the Native Friendship Centre, etc, are all "North End" to me. The whole Gottingen strip feels north end to me.
It's an interesting case study in shifting neighbourhood identities, really. I think the interchange definitely shifted the psychic map of the city. The explosion as well wiped out Richmond, which maybe had a distinctive character?
