  Yonge Street - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yonge Street (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.
Yonge Street 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.
Yonge Street 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 Yonge Street', the offices of the Toronto Star.

 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.

Supposedly, Yonge Street is recognized as the longest street in the world, with a length of 1900km.
At one time, Yonge Street was also Ontario provincial Highway 11, which did indeed stretch for 1900km all the way from Lake Ontario in Toronto north past North Bay to Cochrane, west through Kapuskasing and Thunder Bay, and ending at Rainy River on the border with Minnesota.
The street that was 1900km long was Highway 11, not Yonge Street.

It is a very lively, interesting street, with many cheap restaurants and shops, and although it has its fair share of "Adult" cinemas and dodgy shops, it never quite seems to become seedy.
Yonge Street is also home to the Eaton Shopping Centre, Canada's largest, and although we never we went inside since we were not here to shop, there is often some form of street entertainment going on outside.
