She Said Boom (College)

She Said Boom is still the College Street used-book-and-record shop that started when two friends split rent in the late 1990s — one books, one vinyl — and named the room after a Fifth Column track. Official shesaidboom.shop keeps the flagship at 378 College Street, east of Bathurst, open daily 12 p.m.–7 p.m., phone (416) 944-3224. They buy and sell used books (literature, philosophy, history, poetry, SF, crime, art — not textbooks) plus vinyl and a thin CD rack. The west-end sister is 393 Roncesvalles (shesaidboom.ca), with a different clock. First-timers: this is a dig, not a curated table. Daily noon–7 is the whole College clock. College streetcar; do not confuse it with the Roncesvalles room if you told someone 378.
