mrdannyg 274 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 North Toronto, yes. Uptown, no. Also, it is noted that 'North Toronto' assumes that anywhere above Finch or so is not really 'Toronto', which I'm good with. Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I dont agree with the definition of North Toronto. Yonge and Eglinton has always been midtown to me.. Downtown to me is Front street to Carlton ish.. Then from St Clair to York Mills ish I consider midtown.. If you guys consider Yonge and Eglinton Uptown, then what is Yonge and Sheppard? Yonge and Finch? Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 Bob seems to be the only source to not consider Yonge and Eglinton as midtown. Wikipedia is mixed on it (with more references to it being midtown than uptown) but other sources like Google Maps and random neighborhood maps clearly identifying it as midtown.

mrdannyg 274 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 To be fair, I don't think I heard the term "midtown" or "uptown" when I lived in Toronto. When I lived there, everything below Bloor was "downtown" though when I went to Guelph, it seemed like people from places like Aurora called anything below Finch "downtown", which is ridiculous.

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I wouldn't really consider that midtown Toronto. I would consider that midtown GTA. I kind of see Bob's view. Yonge, north of 401/Sheppard was pretty much North York to me when I grew up in NY area as a kid. Link to post Share on other sites

Yonge, north of 401/Sheppard was pretty much North York to me when I grew up in NY area as a kid. Its peoples perceptions.. When I am out of town I dont tell people I live in Pickering..Its still Toronto to me...Sure its the GTA.. Then I have people that live downtown that have never been east of Victoria Park.

North Toronto Collegiate is at Yonge and Eglinton Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 Just dont use Metropolitans, please. When I named these teams originally, they were based on where I was in life. Playing poker, specifically. I've changed my focus and wanted to reflect that. Something that reflects urbanism of some sort. Tough to do with a (fake) sports team. "Metropolitans" has hockey history (Seattle) and sports history (NY Mets). I'm open to suggestions. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I really dont like the term Metropolitans..When the NHL came up with it I thought it was a joke.. Sort of like the $100 question on Who Want to be a Millionaire...Which one of these names dont make sense? Link to post Share on other sites
