Iteresting. For some reason, I always thought I was the only member of
this List in Toronto.

I'm near Bathurst & Eglinton.

Are there any other Conlangers in Toronto?

I know about Chinatown, Greek-town, Little Italy, and the Jewish area,
(being Jewish myself, I don't live *too* far from there, and my family
did all those years ago.) but I never knew there was a Portugal-town.

I don't go down to Christie & Bloor often at all, so I know nothing
about that part of town.
