    		Yonge Street in Toronto

    Yonge is known as the world's longest street, stretching from Lake Ontario to the town of Rainy River, more than 1900 km away. Used as a trail by the Hurons, the road came to be an official passage in the 1790s.

    		Colfax Ave is the longest continuous street in the in the world.

    Colfax starts in Golden, CO at Mt Vernon Canyon Rd & W Colfax Ave and ends in Strasburg, CO at E Colfax Ave & Headlight Rd. Google Map the start and end points, move the route to stay on Colfax and you get 50.7 miles.

    Playboy Magazine once called it the longest and wickedest street in America because it was once a haven for prostitution. Since cleaned up by Denver metro Police Departments.

    Emporis.com, a world mapping site, calls it the longest continuous road in the world at 40 miles.

    Where was the worlds longest traffic jam and how far did it tail back?

    I'm looking for the name of a TV mini series movie/show. We had rented them from the video store. It's about a boy who is traveling to different worlds looking for pieces of a machine to get him back home (I think.) He is gathering something along his way. He travels to different worlds with a "professor" and maybe another person. Along the way he visits 5-8 different worlds (each was a different movie.) They were all entitled "Somebody and the Land of ???" One world had to do with giant eggs, one world a town of toys, and the end was a land something like a fantasy "Camelot." My children watched these movies anywhere from 1988 - 1993. I'm hoping someone can help me end my frazzled search.
