  The Globe and Mail: Series
Yes, that Yonge Street, 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 Yonge Street, 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.
Yonge Street evolved from east to west, bringing civilization to the wilderness as the nation was settled.

 Review of Charlotte Yonge by Alathea Hayter
Though Yonge was besieged by requests for sequels, and succumbed to some of them, perhaps the most significant continuations were those which enacted themselves within the individual and shared fantasy-worlds of her thousands of readers.
The duties of Yonge's moral managers were, of course, shaped by the Tractarian principles of their creator; there is a satisfactory amount of space devoted to Yonge's churchmanship and general moral agenda.
Yonge's detractors often base their condemnations on criteria which are not aesthetic at all: her Anglicanism within the recent past, and more recently still, her fervent anti-feminism.

For years, Torontonians have celebrated the fact that their main commercial street, Yonge Street, was listed in the Guiness Book of World Records as the longest street in the world.
The record may be inaccurate (and is no longer recognized by Guiness), but there is no doubting Yonge Street's cultural and historical significance to the City of Toronto and its northern suburbs.
It may be only 56 kilometres, but it's an impressive journey nonetheless.
