Crosstown | Place | Crosstown is a completely fabricated name for the condo-lined purgatory between Pender Street and Expo Boulevard. For many years, only realtors referred to this area (which used to be house the rail yards that the neighbouring viaducts were built to traverse) as ‘Crosstown’ so as to positively differentiate it from (formerly terrifying) Gastown, but now it has wormed its way into more common usage.

Usage: “I live in Crosstown.” “Um, no you don’t.”
