At the end of Yonge St

I grew up in Rochester, NY. The joke is that Toronto is 70 miles away but it takes 3.5 hours to get there. (Look at a map if you don’t get it.) Whenever I did get up to Toronto one of my favorite streets to hang out on was Yonge St. Vimeo user Fixinmytie has posted this amazing stop-motion video of him and a friend traveling from one end of Yonge St to the other. The trip took 14 hours but this video takes just a little more than three minutes.
