	Yeah, we non-Hogtown natives usually run into that one just about the 
time that (whilst wandering about completely lost) we figure out that in 
the TO streetplan, Avenues run north/south and Streets run East/West (or 
is it the other way 'round?).  It's a Canuckian Conspiracy, it is!  :)

	(I love Toronto, I do.  My favorite city.  But my first experience 
driving downtown was when I got off the QEW at Spadina trying to get to 
the CN Tower, all unkowing that it was a game night at The Hanger.  My 
Merkin illusions of polite and considerate Canadians were destroyed 
forever, eh?
