To the "north" and "west" it's arguably trickier, although Westmount and University offer simplicity of definition. To me "urban" looks a lot like K-W circa pre-1970s, while "suburban" is K-W post-1970s, roughly speaking. In 1950 the corner of Ottawa and Mill St was out on the edge of town, with apple orchards on the city side. There was some development out along old King St and Weber St, but Rockway Gardens would have been pretty much the end of town. The Greenbrook pumping station and Lakeside Pond would have been the edge of town over on the (now) Forest Hill side. In Waterloo, except perhaps for King St, pretty much everything north of University would still have been farmland. There would have been little or no development on the far side of Westmount (or its predecessor streets), except for the golf course. Over on the other side of town, there would not have been much beyond the Aud, apart from along Victoria St. RE: Other Forum Issues - creative - 09-09-2020 I live in the Rosemount area on the other side of the expressway. Our house was built in 1967. RE: Other Forum Issues - panamaniac - 09-09-2020 (09-09-2020, 06:28 PM)creative Wrote: I live in the Rosemount area on the other side of the expressway.

Wow, that's a much more generous interpretation than I was going to give, I'd say 1 is the core, 2, 3, 4, (parts of) 5, 6, 7, (parts of) 8, 10 are a given, and 9, 13, 14 are debatable as downtown neighbourhoods. For urban areas there are a couple smaller areas I'd include outside the DTK, like Belmont Village, King/University, maybe Bridgeport. But one could pick any number of criteria and come up with any number of different locations. RE: Other Forum Issues - tomh009 - 09-10-2020 What makes a residential area suburban rather than urban? In my mind a suburb typically ...
The commercial urban areas are a bit different, but, again, the car-centricity would be a key criterion in my mind. RE: Other Forum Issues - panamaniac - 09-10-2020 To me, the transition can be seen when you go beyond the first generation (1945-1960) of post war housing development. Some might include those areas too, but to me they’re transitional in nature. RE: Other Forum Issues - tomh009 - 09-10-2020 That's pretty much it, yes. RE: Other Forum Issues - TMKM94 - 01-28-2022 I keep accidentally rating threads low ratings when I'm trying to switch thread pages on my phone. There doesn't seem to be a way to update the ratings so please disregard my low ratings. RE: Other Forum Issues - Elmira Guy - 06-12-2023 Hello Up until a couple of days ago, the site showed the date/time of the last post within a given subforum. This no longers shows up. Has something changed? I have tried switching to/from "desktop site" but with no difference. Any advice? RE: Other Forum Issues - tomh009 - 06-12-2023 Is this on the mobile site that you are not seeing it?

Never had the issue befoe RE: Other Forum Issues - tomh009 - 06-12-2023 The site is "responsive", meaning that it adapts to the screen size on whatever device you are reading on. I did confirm what you are seeing on my phone, also using Chrome. I'm quite sure we haven't made changes on this recently. On the other hand, Google releases new Chrome versions weekly, so something may have changed there. I also tested using Edge on the same phone, and if I rotate the phone to landscape I can see the last poster and the time of the post. On the other hand, Firefox has the same behaviour as Chrome, and does not show those regardless of the orientation. So you might consider installing Edge if this is important to you ...

RE: Other Forum Issues - Spokes - 06-17-2023 Tom is right, no changes have been made. Not sure why this has changed on your end. RE: Other Forum Issues - Spokes - 07-26-2023 Hi Everyone, I know in the past one big issue we've had has been when clicking the "report" button nothing seems to happen. This seems to be fixed now. (It only took 10 years. Darn. Sorry hah) |
