Soviet style brutalist apartment buildings intermixed with modern glass condo high rises makes for one dystopian looking city. Lots of graffiti everywhere and a surprising amount of litter on the highways.

I realize you and most everyone cannot fathom what I am going to claim, but like ALL North American cities at one time or another between 1830 and the early 1900s, Toronto had a coincidental "fire". It has been razed.

An impossible number of medium-to-large cities have had their past Olde World glory dismantled. The spectacular Toronto of the early 1900 has largely been demolished, knocked down, blasted, and stripped of its deep past history. It was beautiful! (just like hundreds of towns & cities across N. America.)

The overwhelming evidence suggests Toronto, like Montreal, LIKE Quebec, like Edmonton, like Calgary and Vancouver was "founded" (as in any other already existed Olde World Imperial capitol.)

What happened to it and its olde world 14th century-style architecture???

TORONTO, EARLY 1900s:

Toronto has a "Crystal Palace - just like London:












AFTER the 1904 "fire" (funny how stone and brick catch fire and appear to have been dynamited)

Actually Cincinnati is really pretty too with hills, river, and gorgeous bridges.


Glad to hear they've retained some of its glorious past. Cincy was another (founded / inherited) olde world imperial capitol city. It and its (surviving) architecture and infrastructure are VERY old.

Look up "Cincinnati 1870-1890 images. It was so spectacular it called "The Paris of America".





You'll see magnificent buildings, old aerial maps, vintage infrastructure, buildings, canals (Cincinnati had some major canals at one time). Cincy has undergone major "urban renewal changes" aka demolition of the old landmarks since WW2.

(below) Cincinnati's Over the Rhine district when the "Rhine" (canal) was still there.

It annoys me when people compare it to inferior towns like Cleveland, Detroit, or Cincy. But I admit that the food in Pittsburgh absolutely sucks.


I don’t think Cincinnati belongs on this list either

I agree .....Spent too much time in Hydro Quebec to enjoy Montreal.Funniest conversation with my first Quebec Rep.

After drinking a few, he was explaining how the French were defeated by the British that landed up the river. Well before the colonies......

"So let's get this straight .....The English kicked your arse, you surrendered, and you still speak a half assed version of French?"

I’ve only spent a few days there but from what I remember it’s a pretty generic city but close to the mountains. Similar to Denver.

Those buildings had a lot of wood structure including wood joists. When the joists collapsed from fire they took brick/stone walls down with them.

Sure, they most likely had wooden joists -- however Toronto's buildings weren't shacks; they were stone and brick / masonry.

If you look at the aftermath of the Toronto Fire, what do you see?

Does it look...bombed out?

How would fires spread in a city of heavy-stone and masonry / brick buildings? (Look it up --city "Great Fires" just happened to have been epidemic -- especially from 1850-1910s).

Brick/masonry was the facade but plenty of wood was in those buildings.

Just got back from Hamilton where the Canadian Open was played. Let me tell you: Hamilton makes Toronto seem like the Emerald City in Wizard of Oz. Complete shite-hole. Crackheads everywhere downtown, what isn't boarded up is run by rude Middle Easterners, and there wasn't a single thing I saw in Hamilton that I thought was remotely pleasing to the eye.

Give me Toronto any day over the shitstain that is Hamilton.
