With their fantastic selection and service it’s not
surprising that Bricks ‘n Blocks had to move a
few years ago from their Main and Mountain
Highway store to a bigger location. “We live on
the wrong side of the tracks now,” says Graham.

They may “be hidden. away, “but in’ terms .of
driving distance, their new location is: much
