This thread is a joke and can only be taken seriously by people who have not spent more than 20 minutes in the core areas of either place. Toronto smashes both Dallas and Fort Wortth in urban streetscapes. A fairer comparison in terms of urban streetscapes to DFW in the vicinity of Toronto would be Hamilton and Mississauga , and I am not sure DFW would win that one either.
I mean, I’ll show other areas just due to your interest. Still think Toronto is more robust ATM with neighborhoods outside of downtown Dallas looking more quaint. I’m sure you will notice that Bishop Arts, Deep Ellum, and Greenville Ave all have a similar overall look. In terms of having historic/older low rise brick/masonry buildings.
Deep Ellum - historic former freedman’s town now an entertainment district.
Lower Greenville - is a former streetcar Main Street from the 1920s. This is located within a historic single family area. Not much vertical/urban development allowed, other than probably on Greenville Ave itself. There are a few suburban structures along the street, but I’m sure I’ll be replaced over time. Many of the original structures still remain. The street also received a complete streets redo 5+ years ago.
0:50-4:11 is the main Lower Greenville strip with the complete streets redo. Other shops/restaurants 5:00-5:15 and another strip of shops/restaurants 6:00-7:00 with the Granada Theater.

Agreed. Torontos urban landscape is somewhere between Chicago and NYC. It's on a completely different level than Dallas.
Dallas is in the same tier as Atlanta or Houston in terms of urbanity, not Toronto.
Just for comparison, this is looking north from Downtown towards Uptown. There has been a lot of improvement though. Luckily, all the lots pictured have infill developments planned. The cleared lot with construction equipment is where Goldman Sachs' new campus is going, in a new development called NorthEnd.
Yonge Street was 1,896 km (1,178 mi)[4] long, making it the longest street in the world; this was due to a conflation of Yonge Street with the rest of Ontario's Highway 11. Yonge Street (including the Bradford-to-Barrie extension) is only 86 kilometres (53 mi) long.[2][3] Due to provincial downloading in the 1990s, no section of Yonge Street is marked as a provincial highway.
That all said, it is hard to think of a main street in Canada that stretches as long as it does with that level of urbanity.
Also, isn't Yonge Street the longest "Main Street" in the world?
Longest street, not just " Main Street ".
1,895 K's or 1178 miles.
EDIT: Ah, Fusion2, you ruined my day LOL
