A Street called Church.

In Toronto, there's a street called Church. It intersects Dundas and that's where you find the St. Michael's Cathedral. Nearby is George Brown College, Golden Thai, a favorite of mine, some thrift shops, and further down at Front Street is the  O'Keefe Theatre, now known as Sony Centre for the Performing Arts. In the vicinity of Front is the famous St. Lawrence Market, framed now by countless condominiums.

Church Street is roughly bounded by Gerrard Street to the south, Yonge Street to the west, Charles Street to the north, and Jarvis Street  to the east, with the core commercial strip located along Church Street from Wellesley south to Alexander.

Way, way up is the CN Tower, the tallest structure in Canada and if you follow John St., you'd find an array of exotic restaurants in the theatre district of Toronto where tourists and locals get to watch shows such as Les Miserables, Mama Mia, etc at the Royal Alexander, the Princess of Wales, and the other theatres.

Church Street also boasts of bums lying over exhaust openings from the subway system below. Other times, these creatures ply the traffic and offer motorists a quick window wash. One Toronto Mayor banned these "impromptu car wash boys."

Also within walking distance is Toronto's Wall Street, the Bay Street. And of course there's Yonge Street, a tourist attraction show casing restaurants, specialty shops and shows, bargain souvenir stores, tatoo boutiques, and sidewalk cafes.

Queen's Street is another busy street in the Church street-area. That's where Old City Hall is located.

Aside from the iconic St. Mike's Cathedral, Church Street is home to the gay community in Toronto and stones' throw away from Gerrard, where St. Anne's Church stands amidst the little Chinatown and Indian town.
