I'm thinking about where residents of neighbourhoods farther away from either downtown or the boundaries of the old city, whether it's the rest of the 416 or even farther (the 905) are sufficiently far away that most places south of Bloor are unfamiliar or rarely visited among them.
Additionally, is there a big drop off with distance at say, boundaries of the former municipalities or the city itself? For example, is someone from East York much more familiar with downtown than someone from Scarborough, than in turn someone from Markham? For example, I'm wondering if given certain landmarks downtown, someone from East York or the old city of York will be much better at answering say a new tourist's question about Toronto, who stops him/her on the street, that someone from Markham or Brampton lacks familiarity with.
Or is there enough movement and travel between places in the city and the GTA that the drop-off is not sharp?
