    TRIVIA

    How well doyou know yourneighbourhood?

    toronto

    Back when North Toronto was still its own cityresidents rode on a private rail line known as theMetropolitan Street Railway which ran from justSouth of St. Clair up to as far as Aurora. Evenback then complaints of poor service werefrequent and this contributed to the annexing ofNorth Toronto into the City of Toronto.

    In what year did North Toronto become a partof the city of Toronto and when did the subwayline get extended?
