Wasn&#8217;t there a jeans store there? And a Licks? Did you ever go there? I seem to remember a bikini store there, with bikini&#8217;s hanging everywhere. Trips to the big city meant crazy bikini stores. By the time I moved to Toronto, the block had already been cleared out.<\/p>\n<p>The square is one of Toronto&#8217;s newest public spaces, and most divisive. Some people like the bright lights, other people want more trees. We hope to throw into the mix the voices of the people who have some attachment to the place, and perhaps give people a new reason to visit.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a story, or can hook us up with somebody who does, or want to go out and record somebody yourself, please <a href=\"mailto:info@murmurtoronto.ca\">email us<\/a> ASAP.
