"This whole experiment goes down the tubes if I spontaneously combust in the middle of Bay Street, doesn't it?" says Nick to Natalie in "The Fix". Bay Street is a north-south street in downtown Toronto. It got its name in 1797 because it was built to connect Queen Street West to a bay in Toronto Harbour. This original road ran only as far north as Queen. In the 1920s, however, several other streets were consolidated and gaps filled in to create a new thoroughfare, so that Bay Street today stretches from Queens Quay (Toronto Harbour) in the south to Davenport Road in the north.
