Canadian Curiosities
Yonge St in Toronto is touted as the longest street in the world. It supposedly spans across the entire province, or maybe beyond that...I'll have to check Wikipedia, to be sure.

I don't know who Ava is, but her knock off cover of Marvin

They say it is the biggest bookstore in the world, but Mrs. Wyden with her Strand and Mr. Powell with his well, you know, have them beat, I am sure.
Canadian Tire? I know there is a backstory here somewhere. What I saw was through the windows was a combination households and home improvement store. It was strange to see such a large store in a downtown urban setting which ostensibly sells tires.
I had to stop and see what kind of passengers from this very long limo would come in to use the services of the Evergreen Yonge Street Mission. Instead of that, it turned out the driver was parked there to get a sandwich at the doner restaurant near by. I figured if it was good for parking such a large car on a busy street, it was worth checking out. dI had a good doner there with lovely and zesty spices,
Check out Zanzibar's amazing neon display.
A large scale bill board extravaganza overlooking Dunda Square. The guy on top even moves, presumably eating his square of chocolate.
