[murmur] in kensington market

Our group enjoyed a beautiful day in Kensington Market! It was a perfect day to explore the memories left behind by the community.
One of our favourite stories was that of Lobster Island. At first glance, 169 Augusta looks fairly normal. The white building is incredibly plain, with little evidence of its occupants, nor its function. But Murmur allowed us to take a look into the past. At one time, 169 Augusta was an after-hours club. A popular destination, people could see theatrical acts by various performers. At one time, certain members of The Kids In The Hall were permanent fixtures at the hangout! The man who left this memory said that one day, the club just disappeared!
The second story left behind was that of a young woman. She recalls the quality and abundance of the Lobster Island seafood market. She points out how difficult it was to find the building, but she and her boyfriend finally located the tiny entrance. Although she was accustomed to the amount of seafood from the east coast, she was overwhelmed with how fresh and cheap the fish was at Lobster Island. She said that together, they had the best and cheapest feast!
