"midtown"

[Philip E. Cleary]

<That's a new one for me. I've never heard of a "mid-town" in Seattle, only
"downtown".>

The Boston one is a new one for me too. I (a life-long Bostonian) don't
recall ever having heard of "mid-town Boston" and, if I had, wouldn't know
what section of the city was being referred to. There is a section of the
city in the Back Bay that was sometimes called "uptown," at least in the
50's and early 60's.
