"The Danny"

You're the only one who says "College Street West" as there is NO College Street WEST. It's just College Street.

But yes, to me, it's the Beaches as "the Beaches" sounds kind of cool and unusual. "The Beach" sounds like something very American and is very common.

And I agree, "the Danny" sounds stupid. It's "the Danforth", even though the street is really called Danforth Avenue
 
I don't know anybody who calls Toronto Dodge City. No references to that nickname on the Internet.

Another SkyRider false-fact?

Sky does whenever he points out how dangerous our city is.

No problem with the six or Tdot. They are actually used. The Danny sounds like a marketing ploy.
 
"get the hell out of dodge
To leave somewhere immediately, to evacuate or scram."

"Get the hell out of Dodge" is a reference to Dodge City, Kansas, which was a favorite location for westerns in the early to mid 20th century. Most memorably, the phrase was made famous by the TV show "Gunsmoke," in which villians were often commanded to "get the hell out of Dodge." The phrase took on its current meaning in the 1960s and 70s when teenagers began to use it in its current form."

"Little Italy, sometimes referred to as College Street West"

If you don't like it, go complain to Wikipedia. Insist they remove the above caption.

Where is College Street East? Oh yea... it doesn't exist.

But yeah, the Danny makes me cringe a bit..
 
Sounds to me that someone at city hall got some extra funding to play around with some pet projects rather than do real work. The Danny is a stupid rebranding of a wonderful multicultural area. I'd even be cool with them calling it little Ethiopia in the east end near Kingston rd cause that food is SO good.

It must be a "retarded right" thing to complain about anything new. They don't like change and embrace the past like the Confederate flag.

How is it a new thing? I've heard people called it "The Danny" since I was a young child.

I think it is not new to locals, just like when I lived in the Annex we called Little Italy and the bars there "College Street West". Here's another one. Why do some people call Toronto "The Big Smoke"? Now some people are calling Koreatown "Annex West" or "West Annex".

Another question: Where does Greektown end and "The Danny" begin? Or, do they overlap at some point?

"West Annex' is west of Bathurst Street and includes the Koreatown shopping district at its southern border." East Annex doesn't exist either but that doesn't stop people from calling west Annex "West Annex".

In summary, it was just you that applied it to Toronto and no-one else uses it. <roll-eyes>

No-one calls it College Street West.

Except you.

And you're wrong.
 
Well I for one am disappointment.

I clicked on this thread expecting a pleasant collection of Irish folk songs.
