Yonge Street has for a long time been a disaster more or less on par with Barrington. It is very similar to Barrington in terms of its historical role and there's a strong parallel between Bloor and Spring Garden Road as well. Parts of Yonge are still pretty seedy and it had a few very noticeable abandoned buildings, like the old bank offices across from the Eaton Centre. Like Barrington, it seems to have turned the corner a bit over the past few years. The attractive restoration of the corner building at Yonge and Temperance (northwest side) is an example of what most of the street could look like.
