London, Ontario was the second stop on our Tale of a Town X Ontario Tour.

We were invited by the wonderful folks at Downtown London to work on the first phase of development for The Tale of LONDON Town!!!

In our first week in the Forest City we discovered countless tales of days gone by!  We began by interviewing local downtown business owners at their establishments, and then parked our storymobile right smack downtown at Dundas and Richmond.

And here is our podcast, comprised of many voices and produced for The Walrus:

A Walk Down Main Street - London Edition.

To contribute your own story about downtown London, call our hotline 1-855-CAN-TALE or TELL US YOUR TALE here.
