This is the Annex in lower Forest Hill &#8212; smart, exclusive, sophisticated.&#8221; It is always good fun to see how real estate people shift neighbourhood boundaries (I always thought of the Annex as East Swansea), but this is a Brad Lamb project, famous for those ubiquitous Brad Lamb-headed lamb-body ads seen around town, so one expects even more creativity. So creative in fact that if you go <a href=\"http:\/\/www.empirecommunities.com\/high_rise\/gallery.php?c=12\">here<\/a> (it&#8217;s a Flashtastic website, so beware) and click on &#8220;the area&#8221; you will see a picture of the TTC station closest to 391 Brunswick &#8212; and it appears to be the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Canal_Street_%28Manhattan%29\">Canal Street<\/a> station (reversed, though). Is the Annex also considered Northwest SoHo?
