We've just moved to the country sparking my other half to wonder excitedly "can we have hand guns now?".

A nice fully loaded world war two German luger would be a nice touch perched above the mantlepiece...:thumbup:

That's not her thing. Oh no. She wants to bring her guns up from the states and shoot tin cans just for the joy of "holding something really powerful in my hands". I'm afraid "get hold of this then love" didn't get me the reaction I hoped.

Perhaps you weren't handing it over to her correctly...

scarborough/malvern/ danforth & pape(looks 3rd world) not great but paradise compared to some areas in england

jane and finch is a nice area, lots of green space, york uni, shops, its only the gangs that spoil it

Re: Toronto here we come.......??
 

Danforth and Pape?! Whatever is wrong with Greektown? I'd call that gentrified.

Scarborough's too vague, Vic Park and the lake, for example, is very nice indeed. It's true that the Malvern area of Scarborough is rough but it's been so as long as I can remember, I don't think people can have moved out due to violence there, not unless they did so in the seventies. Besides which Scarborough is already a suburb, what I was wondering was whether or not there were parts of the city people had fled rather than them shuffling around the periphery.

i agree, im being a little tough on those areas;) scruffy at the most
Battery Park up and coming

Re: Toronto here we come.......??
 

The only area I can think of that might have had an outflow is Parkdale but even there it's probably balanced by the creeping gentrification. This corner, Jarvis and Gerrard, isn't very nice but like most of the poor bits of town it's been like this for a long time; if people leave they likely go to the literal morgue, not the metaphorical one suggested above.
