Toronto has a North-South-East-West street grid. Traditionally, the hip and happening downtown stretches from the lake all the way up Bloor, and North of Bloor (NoBlo) begins the sterile suburban zombie wasteland.
This is not necessarily an accurate view, as the pre-amalgamation City of Toronto had respectable density as well as similar urban culture for another 8km north to York Mills. The modern city of Toronto spans 18km from the lake to Steeles Ave.
The downtown stretch from the lake to Bloor St is 3km.

Amy: I haven't been in the NoBlo in five years.
Thaddea: Why can't all the NoBlo party kids leave their SUV tanks at home when they come down?
Zachariah: Those suburbanites from the NoBlo vote wrong in every election.

Get the Noble idiot mug.Baseball acronym: No-Outs Bases-Loaded-Ending (with) Team-Incapable (of) Getting-Easy-Run.

For non-baseball fans the situation is equivalent to having erectile dysfunction at an all you can eat brothel.
