If they mated.Civic comparisons.

Alright simple idea.

Which two cities can your city be compared to.

I.e. St john's is what would happen if fairbank Alaska and boston had a baby.

Toronto is what happens when Detroit and New York make a baby.

Montreal is if new Orleans, and Baltimore had a baby.

Detroit? Jesus... More like New York and Chicago.

Halifax is if Boston and St. John's had a baby.

I was going to say Scranton and Pasadena, but yeah.

Edit: I guess that would be more Waterloo than Kitchener.

Nah, Moncton would be the result of a romantic tryst between Bangor (ME) and Rimouski.

Yeah, there is almost nothing that is Detroit-esque about Toronto.

Even the better aspects of Detroit have little resemblance to Toronto.

I don't think you could describe Toronto as a union of two places.

It's kind of just what happens if you get a bunch of Protestants together in that time period.
