Fact of the day

I was listening to the radio today and they was reading out some facts. One of them was the longest road in the world. Yonge Street in Canada, over a thousand miles long. Just thought i would share really. Luke

Re: Fact of the day

Yonge Street was formerly a part of Highway 11, which led to claims that Yonge Street was the longest street in the world. Running from the shores of Lake Ontario, through central and northern Ontario to the Ontario-Minnesota border at Rainy River, together they were over 1,896 kilometres (1,178 mi) long. Interesting stuff
Not too far from here in Burnaby there is Short Street. It is a short block longish.
I would rather have tools I do not need than to need tools I do not have

I thought the longest road in the world was "Frontage Road" . It seems to go everywhere.
