Brilliant set! Nice to see the city hasn't been robbed of it's energy and uniqueness.

I'm rather surprised anyone would think this thread seems gritty; the set really doesn't seem gritty at all to me. It seems typically flar-style, ie. colourful, funky, textured, random,"step into the picture" realism.
Overall, Toronto's actual urbanism isn't exactly what I'd call gritty either. There are a few gritty parts, but generally it's just a random, spontaneous, jumbled mess of urbanity.

Nice pictures! Almost each one gives me memories of my time in Toronto in the summer. I especially like the one on the Gardiner Expressway of the view of the skyscrapers. I love that view in person as I drive into the city.
I wasn't sure if the thread title was meant to be ironic, or an accurate description, but I'll assume it to be "in spite of". Great shots as always. Noted that #29 looks like Toronto's version of an Eastern Canadian/NL row house, which I hadn't seen before.

All of which can be "gritty". "Gritty" doesn't just mean rundown hellhole.
