Ignorance of something does not make that view correct.

Well, we can agree that the sky is blue, can we not?
Anyway, this is what they said:
If you lived say up by Lady Hammond, you said "the North End starts at North Street." Some in the far north, up around Leeds Street, would even say "the North End starts at Almon Street."
But most people who live between Cogswell and North say "this is the North End" though, to be fair, I'd say about 20% of the folks I talked to when I was involved with the North End Community Fair and the Gottingen Street Merchants Association said "this is the north part of Central Halifax".
The big bottom line is - it is all the North End to somebody...
We need to have a debate about neighbourhoods and have official names like other cities.
