St Lawrence is thought to have been born in Huesca, a town in the Aragon region that was once part of the Roman province of Hispania Tarraconensis. Here he encountered the future Pope Sixtus II, who was of Greek origin, one of the most famous and highly esteemed teachers in Caesaraugusta (today Zaragoza), which was one of the empire's most renowned centres of learning. Eventually, both left Spain for Rome. When Sixtus became the Pope in 257, he ordained St Lawrence as a deacon, and though still young appointed him first among the seven deacons who served in the patriarchal church. He is therefore called "archdeacon of Rome", a position of great trust that included the care of the treasury and riches of the church and the distribution of alms among the poor.
St. Lawrence is a neighbourhood located in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The area, a former industrial area, is bounded by Yonge, Front, and Parliament Streets, and the Canadian National railway embankment. The Esplanade off Yonge St., lined with restaurants, cafés and hotels runs through the middle of the area. In previous times, the area was sometimes referred to as 'St. Lawrence Ward' or more often today as 'St. Lawrence Market', synonymous with the large retail vendor market which is the neighbourhood's focal point. The area is the site of a large city-sponsored housing project of the 1970s, which revitalized an old 'brownfields' area. The boundaries of the St Lawrence Neighbourhood Association and the St Lawrence Market BIA are somewhat larger than those noted above. Both groups have boundaries that extend from Yonge to Parliament Streets and Queen Street East to the rail corridor.
History
The town of York was founded in 1793, on a site of ten blocks north of Front Street between George and Berkeley Streets. The area of today's St. Lawrence neighbourhood was then below the waterline, the shoreline being just south of Front Street. The area was infilled to provide more land for port and industrial uses adjacent. St. Lawrence was the first industrial area of York.

Smells on the air See there it's crushing the final impression The stains on the paper Where words fell like water Unearth all the changes that never did matter I think it's beginning to freeze here Caught in the rage and the fire of things All the brightness that burns me I'm fumbling through like a child in the dark When the nakedness comes I am shocked by the colour the glorious weight of your skin Comes alive And I never thought we'd make it back so soon Might be nice But I knew you'd be your own destroyer Comes a time And I always thought I'd make it up to you Here please forgive me Could we escape all the bitterness piled upon bitterness Held in the face of the things that I don't understand Intellectualize over and over This helplessness suits us Funny how quiet has slipped to our corners Worn all our edges away You are watching breathing and baiting Wanting and warming and cautiously waiting For some simple signal to creep cross your conscience Uncover redemption and oh did I mention I carried you down to the St. Lawrence River The banks running dirty the water's beginning to freeze here Solid by morning And I'll freeze here Winter by morning Comes a lie And I never thought you'd get me back so soon Might be nice But it's only if my own destroyer Comes alive And I always knew I'd make it up to you I saw on your face such a curious grin As I let go your hand I was desperate to hold you again But you're sinking so deep in the water Outsmarted myself and so easily gave up what I wanted Solid by morning What I wanted Winter by morning Comes alive And I never thought you'd make it up so soon Night be nice But I always knew you're my destroyer Comes a time And I always thought I'd make it up to you Solid by morning And I'll freeze here
