Well, most of the roads downtown were built for horses and buggys. That pinwheel intersection just to the north of citadel hill is a killer.
As for everyone being a Habs/Leaf fan... I'm not so sure I agree with that. There were a LOT of habs fans, especially something passed down from generations from when the Voyageurs were there. But when I was in high school, my homeroom was interesting. There was Caps fan in front of me, a Bruins fan behind me, an Islanders fan to the left and a Flyers fan to the right. Given the lack of a distinct geographical team, people seemed to be free agents unless converted by their parents. There did seem to be a general lack of interest in the West teams, but I think that was mostly because of even more of a time difference... I rarely ever saw the Flames when I was younger.
