Talk:The Annex

message: By the way, Clarkson and Saul do live in the Annex - on Admiral Rd.  They're actually in the phone book.
The bit about the "South Annex" isn't right. That's just a real estate term. "The Annex" refers to the area north of Bloor added to the city of Toronto in 1883 (see http://www.tha.on.ca/annex.htm). avt_tor
As I recall former Governor General and broadcaster Adrienne Clarkson and John R. Saul live on Hazelton Ave. which is the Yorkville area that is east of Avenue Road and is therefore not in the Annex. Bloblaw 09:29, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Surely someone must have a picture that's not as dark as this one. You know, stately vines on the side of a red-brick mansion...come on, people! Not that the present one isn't a typical sight in the neighborhood, but it doesn't quite sum the place up, as might be desirable.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Figureground (talk • contribs) 20:08, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Better picture? 

message: The current description of the streets bordering the Annex is grossly exaggerated and inaccurate: "the area north of Bloor Street, extending west to Christie Street, north to the CPR tracks north of Dupont, and east to Yonge Street." It is a well-known fact that the Annex is bordered by Bloor to the South, Dupont to the North, St. George to the East and Bathurst to the West - even the street signs boasting "The Annex" end at these streets. The area between Bathurst and Christie is Koreatown, or the Korean Business Area according to street signs. The area to the East, especially between Avenue and Bloor, is quite clearly and famously called Yorkville. These areas are radically different in culture from the Annex. While I understand the various interests of some to try to extend the boundaries of the neighbourhood, the article as it is now is simply incorrect and very misleading. Anyone who lives in downtown Toronto would laugh at the idea of the Yonge & Bloor intersection represented as part of the Annex.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.241.138.120 (talk) 16:21, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Area boundaries? 

message: The white elephant mentioned in this entry is west of Christie Street, well out of any of the possible boundaries of the Annex. It is located on Yarmouth Road between Christie and Shaw Streets. I have removed the reference to it.Librarynative (talk) 00:42, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  White Elephant 

message: There was a time, many moons ago, when Bloor St. was "uptown" (the Uptown Theatre was south of Bloor). If you google "midtown Toronto" these days you'll see businesses with addresses on Bloor St. I'd suggest the intro sentence, if it's going to mention a sub-town nomenclature at all, should properly locate the Annex in midtown Toronto. The debate about whether midtown reaches St. Clair, Eglinton, Lawrence or even York Mills can be for another place and time.
What say y'all?

replies: text: The word downtown is subjective. So is midtown. Depends on your reference. Geographically, it is close to the downtown core. A lot of suburbanites think all of the old neighbourhoods are downtown, if they know where the Annex is at all...  Alaney2k (talk) 23:26, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Annex is 'downtown'? 

message: I took out of the adjectives that were obviously put in to suit some editor's uncited pretensions.  Although the article is now somewhat more encyclopedic, it is currently missing a few citations near the centre of the article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.53.48.104 (talk) 02:26, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
