1 Yonge Toronto Star Building 2017, By Arild Vågen - Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=63354645
1 Yonge was the first address on Toronto's main street. The Toronto Star was published from there until it moved in 2022. It marked how important newspapers used to be. I'd rush in with film, past the pictures of front pages, one with bank robber Eddie Boyd's conviction in the 50s with a bible verse, "The way of the transgressors is hard." beside it, and a plaque dedicated to a reporter who died flying into a hurricane, and ride a slow elevator up to the editorial floor. It was supposed made slow by the publisher's wife's request. The building will be demolished and replaced with a 105 storey tower.
