Is Toronto an American city?

Originally uploaded by 416style.

It may be more widely known now, but for some time it got under the skin of many Torontonians that our city was being used for Hollywood flicks without the recognition it deserved. Story lines and plots centred around American cities but used our picturesque city for it's backdrop. New York cabs used as props are still a familiar sight, but somehow now the attitude has changed. We're happy to do what it takes behind-the-scenes to make Hollywood history, even if it means blowing up our City Hall.
