The People of Yonge Dundas Square

Yonge and Dundas is one of the busiest intersections in the city.
This is especially true in the month of December while winter shopping is at it's peak.
Many different people come to the busy street to do some shopping at the Eaton's Centre or just simply to conduct daily business. During peak hours there are many different pedestrians coming through. Making it all the more complicated is the four way crossing, which makes travelling all the more frantic. 
Odd sights can be occasionally seen such as teenagers giving out free hugs or preachers screaming about the NSA. This is just daily routine in the busy intersection.
