Toronto - Yonge Street
Yonge Street was one of the original streets built by Toronto's founder Governor John Simcoe at the end of the 18th c. Running north to south it is now the city's primary thoroughfare and stays busy day and night. The 2.5km / 1.5mi section between Bloor St. (north) and the main railway station (south) is a sort of microcosm of the city as a whole, epitomizing its dynamism and the unceasing cycle of renewal.
