I remember that Block from my childhood days. I recall that there was a 'Livingstone Tailors' at the north end of the block and , in winter, there was nearly always a chestnut vendor with his brazier on the corner of Tak Shing St. and Nathan Rd. Into the next block, between Tak Shing St. and Austin Rd. there were more shops, one being the 'Sunny Company', my favourite toy shop where one Christmas I totally peeved my parents by inadvertantly knocking over  the huge christmas tree on display and fleeing into the dusk whilst my bemused folks now trapped behind the tree,negotiated with the shop owner for restitution. It was a long time before I went back there!
