Only old folks would think of calling Yonge Street Toronto's "signature thoroughfare," in fact, it's been a long time since it was Toronto's main drag. The great landmarks of old Yonge Street are long gone. In those good old days you could shop at Eaton's and Simpson's, have a top steak in Lindy's, grab a hot dog at the lunchcounter in Ford's drug store, have a cocktail in any of the fancy bars From the Pilot Tavern, "way up north" at Bloor, to the Town Tavern, downtown, ( which featured jazz greats like Dizzy Gillespie and Benny Goodman) You could take in a movie in opulent theatres like the Imperial, and Lowes (both up-town and down-town).
