Introduction

Yonge Street is one of the most famous streets in Toronto and Canada, running north-south through downtown Toronto from the shore of Lake Ontario in the south and extending northward. It was long listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as the "world's longest street" (reportedly about 1,896 km), but this record was revoked after 1999; the street itself is actually about 56 to 86 km long (to the city of Barrie). The street is lined with landmarks such as the Eaton Centre, Yonge-Dundas Square, and the Hockey Hall of Fame, and is the core axis of Toronto's commerce, culture, and entertainment. Its predecessor can be traced back to an ancient travel route dating back over 10,000 years.
