I'm a lot younger than Acajack but for some reason I knew about King of Kensington when I was a kid. And the area was very much on my radar even though I'm from Calgary (albeit with family in Toronto).

Also, MuchMusic watching youth in the 80s and 90s knew that Queen West was *the* place to be as well. Although that part of the street is basically an outdoor Eaton Centre nowadays and you have to go several km west before it gets cool again!
