Sam The Record Man

It has been a Toronto landmark since 1961, when Sam and his brother Sydney first opened their own store at 347 Yonge Street.

The double disc neon signs were always to be seen when filming took place in the downtown core.

On October 4, the iconic neon signs were lit for the last time as part of Toronto's Nuit Blanche festivities.

You can see the large red "S" and the small black letters "MA" and the little red "import".

So long "SAM THE RECORD MAN", it was great to browse through all the stuff in your store.
