Open question for @sydney and #Sydney on Mastodon:

If the suburbs around Chatswood and Crows Nest are on the Lower North Shore, and the area around Hornsby is the Upper North Shore, then what's Ryde?

Ryde, North Ryde, West Ryde, East Ryde. They got lazy naming suburbs, and wtf happened to South Ryde?

On Google Maps, if you search South Ryde it will display an area with a border south of North Ryde. I don't know the area that well and have no idea if that's what the locals consider to be South Ryde. I've always thought of Ryde as just it's own thing.

Yeah, I couldn't find it as a suburb. Maybe it is a local reference, kinda like Top Ryde...though now that makes me wonder where Bottom Ryde is lol

Was it ever a suburb? Wikipedia says that the area Google Maps highlights as South Ryde is actually just Ryde. No mention of a South Ryde.
