Danny Marks on the Sam The Record Man Sign:
October 1st, 2013
“Toronto is a growing city in danger of losing her heritage. Yonge Street is Main Street, Toronto – it’s in our care. At the root of this great road is our downtown.
For many years, Sam the Record Man and his iconic sign shone a welcome to Toronto City, a beacon to music lovers and emblematic of Toronto’s entrepreneurial spirit.
A bond was made to save this sign and all it represents, which is especially inspiration to students of business and arts in our city.
For all of us and all who come to visit Toronto, this sign makes us unique and belongs to all of us.
It’s in your hands. Please let that sign shine.”
