YongeStreet (pronounced "young"), located in Ontario, Canada, is a major arterial street in Toronto and its northern suburbs, and is known as Ontario Provincial Highway 11 in most extraurban areas.
YongeStreet is touted as the longest street in the world, but there is an objection claiming that it is not continuous in either name or physicality.
YongeStreet is home or close to many attractions in Toronto, including street and theatre performances, the Eaton Centre, Dundas Square, the Hockey Hall of Fame, Sam the Record Man, and at the very start of the road, 'One YongeStreet', the offices of the Toronto Star.
Yes, that YongeStreet, the most famous street in Canada, the one that starts on the shore of Lake Ontario and is synonymous with the big city the rest of Canada loves to hate.
I assumed that YongeStreet, like the United States's Route 66, would be celebrated in song and literature, that someone somewhere had dedicated a poem to it, that its story would read like a metaphor, a palimpsest of Canadian history.
YongeStreet evolved from east to west, bringing civilization to the wilderness as the nation was settled.
