Toronto Magazine - Premier 2008 - (Page 58) The Streets YONGE STREET Despite its comparatively young age, iconic Yonge St. has a well-deserved spot among the world’s great urban thoroughfares.

Yonge is the mast for the entire region — the dividing line between the city’s roads that run east and west, and the divining rod that leads millions of tourists here each year. It is serviced by the Yonge subway line, but much more than that, it serves as the central nervous system of Toronto, directing the flow of daily life. It’s a national historic site and a quintessential Toronto experience. 58 toronto | 2008 http://www.sassafraz.ca http://www.holtrenfrew.com http://www.torontotourism.com http://www.bloor-yorkville.com
