Talk:The Annex
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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)
Rosario Marchese remains the MPP. Tony Ianno is the federal MP, for now. The previous edit was incorrect. We can add the federal MP in a week or so, eh? Or we can mention all the candidates running, so as to be more politically neutral (=NPOV). avt_tor 17:19, 14 January 2006 (EST)
I removed the political background. It was outdated, and it referred to the riding rather than the neighborhood (i.e. references to Chinatown and Little Portugal are certainly outside scope). The link to the riding is sufficient. Political comments specific to the neighborhood would be relevant, provided they were reasonably objective. Also, I removed the comment about "example of urban planning" and the comparison to Detroit. Without a source, this was just opinion (i.e. not NPOV), and the comment about Detroit seemed kind of gratuitous. The Annex has grown organically; it happens to be an effective and pleasant community, but the layout of streets and neighborhoods dates back to the 19th century, not the urban planners of the 1970s.Avt tor 16:43, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
