My Toronto - Sam The Record Man

This is a photo of local record shop Sam The Record Man I took in the summer of 2006. Established in 1961 by Sam Sniderman it was located on Yonge Street just north of Dundas. With it's iconic twin, giant, neon records it was landmark in the local music scene for many years until it's closing on June 30th, 2007. Sadly it couldn't keep up with big box stores like HMV and the availability of "free" music on the internet.
