I generally agree with the observations that Hess is a preferable destination to the 905-dominated entertainment district in Toronto, but the entertainment district is far from being an accurate representation of Toronto night life as a whole.

actually, Hamilton was considered a much more cultured city and destination for many years back in our heyday.
I'll dig up some great pieces I've read in the past highlighting our A&E scene and how performers would always prefer the Hammer over Hogtown.
