Yes and yes. Long Branch is a community immediately west of New Toronto, where I live.
Started off as a resort community (still some old summer houses by the lake) then as Toronto grew it became a suburb. Long Branch Avenue is also a street although a rather small and insignificant one. They laid out the plan for the suburb in the late nineteenth century but it became more heavily populated once they built the streetcar tracks in the late twenties. At one point it was a semi-autonomous town but was subsumed first by Etobicoke which in turn became part of Toronto. Long Branch is now officially Toronto proper; beyond it lies Mississauga, a large city now part of the GTA (Greater Toronto Area). It's now in economic decline as most industries have long since shut down (although there's still a Chrysler block casting facility there). So now you know. :-) Thanks for the kind words, Dan.

Is "Long Branch" the name of the line, a section of the city, a street, or what?
