At Game Time Social in Burlington they have a display with all the neighbourhoods of the city. I'm pretty sure most people in Burlington don't know what neighbourhood they live in. For any locals, this used to be the location of former clubs Club 108 and Zu Bar. Some good memories there. And I must say, the $30 I spent on credits surprisingly lasted for many, many, many games. So many that I only went there today because we didn't nearly finish the balance the first time a month ago. Wouldn't get nearly the same value at Dave and Busters.
There are a few neighbourhoods that stand out for one reason or another. Like for newer subdivisions where they have a sign built into some brick structure at one of the roads leading into the neighbourhood. And for newer subdivisions in general, they were marketed heavily so it permeated into the brains of many residents. Examples would be Millcroft and The Orchard. Maybe Alton Village.
Brant Hills always stood out to me because it seemed to be the most affordable neighbourhood so it would always show up when searching for a home. It's in the far NW corner of the populated portion of the city afterall. Tyandaga is an affluent area situated on an incline heading up to the Escarpment. Aldershot even more affulent and situated along the lake. No one would say Central. They'd say Dowtown.
Curiously, the two obvious semi rural neighbourhoods up in the Escarpment, Lowville and Kilbride, are missing. And that pic for Maple includes Burlington Beach. I thought Burlington Beach was its own neighbourhood. It certainly stands out from anywhere else in Burlington so I thought it would be its own thing but I guess there's not enough population to be officially designated as such.
These places I'd say at least half of all adults might know where they live. For the rest, I'd be surprised if one third could name their 'hood.
