"The Danny"

I've heard they're trying to brand the east end of Danforth Ave as the "Danny", but not Greektown.

As for the Beaches, the history goes either way. I grew up calling it the Beaches and so did many others.
The Beaches library is over 100 years old.

I always called it The Beaches, too. The Beach sounds too nondescript if that makes sense. "I'm going to The Beach today" "Which one? Wasaga?"

As if the marketing isn't muddled enough, now the Beaches BIA is trying to get the area known as "The Beach Village".

All copycats of the original Bloor West Village.

When I was growing up in the 80's Woodbridge was Wapbridge, Agincourt was Asiancourt and Brampton was Bramadeash.

People will call an area whatever they want to call it (terrible or not). Some folks on this Board are getting way too technical by calling an area only by the officially designated name.

For example, the folks in my group call the corner at Bay and King "MINT Corner".
"The intersection of Bay Street and King Street is considered the heart of Canada's economy. BayStreet is a major thoroughfare in Downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is the centre of ... Historically,Bay and King was known as the "MINT Corner" from Montreal, Imperial, Nova Scotia, and Toronto"

You are suggesting we should instead use community names made-up by yourself?

I am not referring to the street but to that area with the bars and restaurants and patios and that ice cream place where the Italian mobster was shot and killed.

oh... you're talking about Little Italy
 
If Clinton and College is College West, then what is Lansdowne and College??????? College Wester?

And you are perfectly entitled to do so (although it is officially "The Beach").

no...no it is not... it is what the majority of people call it... the beaches. Every town with water has "the beach". What beach? Sunnyside? The Beaches is more unique AND it rhymes with peaches! And the rogers Centre is the Skydome because I say so. And Tommy Thompson Park is the Leslie Spit and East General Hospital is not Garron or whoever the rich guy who donated is.... it is East General.... fuck the bureaucrats and their social modeling agendas. The people will decide....was the looney named by a bureaucrat? No... the people named it in a natural way

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.
