Nobody from west of Dufferin is going to have a clue what any of this is about.

Well done!

I agree, because I am confused as hell!

Shawn on January 7, 2009 at 9:40 AM

hahaha I love the real jerk one :)

West of Bathurst - don't get it.

RBeezy on January 7, 2009 at 10:38 AM

for those that don't get it, um.....travel much?

argef on January 7, 2009 at 10:56 AM

love it! yeah you west-enders need to get out some time.

jay on January 7, 2009 at 11:05 AM

one for the east enders. thanks!

Enviro Age on January 7, 2009 at 11:06 AM

HA HA I Finally Get the Real Jerk One. My Brothers Restaurant is across from there (Dangerous Dans) Do a DD one!

Sheryl on January 7, 2009 at 11:06 AM

Another west ender, acknowledging her confusion about todays comics.

Heather on January 7, 2009 at 11:14 AM

Why would we need to get out more? Everything good is on our side. :p

TW on January 7, 2009 at 11:17 AM

A nice tribute to the east-end hood and one of my favourite intersections in the city!

Gloria on January 7, 2009 at 11:39 AM

Recently transplanted east-ender (Gio Ranna's Really Really Nice Restaurant is just around the corner from my parents' house) ... best of both worlds!

Dangerous Dan on January 7, 2009 at 12:14 PM

DOUBLE D'S!!!!

Corina on January 7, 2009 at 2:10 PM

Is Dufferin really the East/West border now? Now I feel pretty awesome for living at Bathurst and getting these!

...altho isn't the Real Jerk on the North side? my fuzzy west-ender brain isn't sure :)

Dawn on January 7, 2009 at 2:11 PM

haha love it!!

Carlos on January 7, 2009 at 2:14 PM , replying to a comment from Corina

Haha yeah the Real Jerk is on the South-East corner
I would say, and i've had this conversation with other people, that the official East/West division is the DVP bridge, what you think?

Z on January 7, 2009 at 2:16 PM , replying to a comment from DS

uhh, west of everything pretty much and i DO get it.
don't tell me i'm the only west-ender here who actually enjoys exploring every corner of our fair city.

Gloria on January 7, 2009 at 2:41 PM

Carlos: Definitely the DVP bridge. Anything else and they're just in denial. Yonge-Dundas is way far from "east."

JohnHenry on January 7, 2009 at 3:18 PM

Isn't Yonge what separates East and West.....?

John Henry on January 7, 2009 at 3:23 PM

Oh they are all from Leslieville.

Me on January 7, 2009 at 3:25 PM

East end reppin'! :)

Gloria on January 7, 2009 at 4:19 PM

John Henry: Only if you're from out of town! Official lines are different. Or are you calling St. Michael's Hospital "east end"?

TW on January 7, 2009 at 4:39 PM

It always comes down to "the river" or the DVP if you will. You know you are making an east-end trip when you cross the valley.

WAG on January 7, 2009 at 4:57 PM

Cabbage Town, Regent Park, Corktown, I'ld say all eastside, I put it at Yonge for sure...

Corina on January 7, 2009 at 5:11 PM , replying to a comment from Carlos

Yeah I've always considered the DVP to be the big divider... especially when I used to go to school in Scarberia and work smack downtown; the end of Adelaide signals somethin for sure.

Carlos on January 7, 2009 at 5:16 PM , replying to a comment from WAG

Haha, Yeah i think you are right, those neighbourhoods do feel east end, maybe it doesn't need to be a straight line, maybe it's like bloor-danforth, gerrard-cabbagetown, queen-dvp, front/eastern-corktown

Angus on January 7, 2009 at 6:14 PM

Jilly's is now the worst Toronto strip club, used to be quite good.

jack on January 7, 2009 at 10:38 PM

slow news day?

diane on January 7, 2009 at 10:52 PM

i heart leslieville

jillys the worst>!!!!


someone needs to take a trip to filmores

Peter Edward Dant on January 8, 2009 at 3:17 PM

Yonge is the dividing line but east is east of the river, west is west of Bathurst (or maybe even Christie). In between is the middle, or "downtown". Places there can be east side or west side but they can't be an end if they're in the centre.

West end provincialism is funny. Queen West ain't what it used to be in the '80s, if it ever was, and there isn't much west of Portland that I don't pass 3 of on the way, except Tibetan restaurants.
