For me > I grew up in Kitchener -Waterloo ... 50 years ago. Raised, schooled and grew up in the Westmount area Union/Belmont. My first part-time job was at Zehrs on Belmont (now the phramacy) for 85 cents an hour As a "Border Kid" we didn't know just a Kitchener or a Waterloo as distinct from each other, it was just Union Street as the unofficial boundary.
We biked and walked these streets, knew every laneway and street like the back of our hand and often who lived in what house and as we grew up we then drove them when we turned 16 ... so it seems names and street configurations are in my evolving DNA.
