My Walk Down Yonge Street


This is about my lovely trip to Toronto when I decided to take a walk down Yonge Street and see what I could find. The CN Tower and The Eaton Center where just two of the great things that I did.

When I traveled to Toronto last summer I booked a hotel in the heart of downtown, right on Dundas and Yonge Street and very close to the YD square. Let me tell you, Toronto is the New York of Canada as it reminded me of it very much so. I could see this bustling area with restaurants, buskers and stores. As I walked through the square I saw a big building with stores in the front that looked like a mall. Well, to my delight and surprise, it was a massive mall that seemed to never end. There were stores as far as the eye could see. I then remembered that the Eaton Center was on Yonge Street, so I asked a passer-by if this was indeed the Eaton Center and indeed it was. I shopped around for a bit and grabbed some street meat to fill my empty belly. I then continued to walk down the extremely busy street in the middle of a blistering Saturday afternoon. I was noticing that it felt like the buildings where almost eating me as I walked closer to the Lake and then suddenly a bit of a clearing started to take place and there it was the needle in the clouds, the CN Tower. I picked up the pace as I was getting excited to test my man hood and lay across the famous glass floor. I finally arrived to the CN Tower and the price of admission was reasonable and it had friendly staff. I did lie across the floor and I highly recommend this if you have never done it before. All in all, my walk down Yonge Street was fantastic and I could do it two more times and still not see everything.
Lying down on the glass was a bit nerve racking, would you be able to do it?
