I like how fluid these things are. Jgsz mentioned "Midtown" in his first post, and as far as I know that is not official anywhere. It's mentioned by the City of Kitchener only for some purposes and only in the last few years. As far as I know, it is a very (last decade?) new term.

Edit: Sorry, kps, I missed your second post. I see now that they're the planning communities. Neighbourhood associations do generally seem to align with those, though not exactly.

I too think that "Midtown" is a fairly recent invention.  The Kitchener boundary at the tracks is clear, but I'm never sure to where it supposedly extends - William St?   Allan St?  Union?  Other?  I'm guessing that folks in the Bauer Lofts would consider that they paid a premium to live "Uptown" and might reject the "Midtown" label.  The singular "town" part of Midtown could even be interpreted to mean Kitchener only, not Waterloo, but that seems too rigid.
