Yonge/Dundas Square, downtown Toronto.

Posted a summer picture because it's so cold today. I'm sick of looking at snow.

Sam the Record Man, Auction Day, Yonge Street

Sam the Record Man is a Toronto landmark - er I guess I should say it was because it's closed now. I went there on my honeymoon nine and a half years ago and it's one of the few things about Toronto I have strong memories of from that trip.

The huge records will stay up on Yonge Street as a historical site.

I thought about going to the auction, but I went to the gym instead. Plus I knew I couldn't afford anything anyway.

But, flickr to the rescue of the lazy photograper - here are some photos.

The records light up at night and have a spinning effect.
