Keeping only the truly fictional things presents its own problems, though.

I think people (like you) who don't know Toronto will need to have as full a list as possible, with the distinction made, of course. Otherwise, they'll simply spot omissions, and probably will just think that your list is incomplete.

With a full list, though, someone wanting to write an FK story can check and see which things were real, which weren't. And write accordingly. Putting "real-real" things into your story would add Toronto verisimilitude. Putting FK things in the story would add a different type of verisimilitude.

Of course, for the person who uses your list to avoid FKisms in a story set in another fandom—well, LaCroix no doubt has a special fate in store for them. But that's a use, too.

And yes, of course, I'd be glad to help.
