I agree these do seem very arbitrary. For example my hood (Eglinton and Mt Pleasant), there are lots of businesses on my street and Eglinton between Yonge and Mt Pleasant to suggest a blob. Bayview south of Eglinton is another in the area. Certainly more than say Gottingen and Young in Halifax (not to pick on Halifax).

Interesting - if this is the case it's odd that Bloor west of Christie / Grace to Lansdowne wouldn't be highlighted. Tons of new bars/restaurants that you'd think would show up. That's the biggest missed area in Toronto IMO.
