"The Danny"

[oldjones]

What is Line 3 again and where does it go? With street names I can at least have a good idea of the route.

Among railguys, particularly from Europe, there's a fashion for naming routes with numbers and destinations only. Passengers living near the Dundas West and Broadview stations had to scream bloody murder about the indistinguishable streetcarss with identical signboards saying BROADVIEW, or DUNDAS WEST, heading out on two drastically different routes — Dundas and King — between those two station. Quick! Which route is 504, and which is 505?

At least this Danny schlmozzle is only about a stretch of a street and not the BIA trying to rename a neighbourhood, which is what lead to the still unsettled Beach/Beaches mess. Why the City lets them overreach like this I don't know. Isn't it fondly referred to by locals as The Danny all the way from the Viaduct to Kingston Road? But furriners better smile nice when they say it.

I remember a few years ago when that MORON Denzil Minnin Wong wanted to rename Union Station "John A MacDonald Station"

For the love of God man, where are your brains? Everyone knows it as Union Station and that's fine already.

Same with them renaming the subway lines with numbers. I still don't bother with that one either and just call them by their street names because it MAKES SENSE.

I was fine with Malton Airport being renamed Toronto International Airport, but naming it Lester B. Pearson was even better. Less bland.

The subway names were no longer applicable, the University line has only a small section on that street.

..., but naming it Lester B. Pearson was even better. Less bland.

Lester Pearson? Less bland? Than what? Look up bland in the Oxford Dictionary. You'll see a picture of Lester.

Skyrider keeps calling toronto Dodge city but he has a problem with other people using the same term.

When I lived off of Roncesvales, nobody called it that. It's always referred to as "Roncy" ... I guess I'll have to accept "Danny" for the Danforth

For what it is worth, they had a poll and the majority prefer "The Beach".

Link please.

I live and have lived in the roncesvalles area all my life,we've been calling it " ronces " for decades only the yuppie,champagne socialist net worthers call it roncy,it's probably the same type of fuckers who want to bastardized the danforth so they can stroke their ego and say "we" named and made this neighbourhood
