  • The city would be worse off without Honest Ed's. We may soon see the day. Condo developers have scouted this landmark of Toronto for more shack "luxury" housing units. Let's face it... Once developers start sniffing, well... there goes the neighborhood and up goes a new one. It's just never as good. Anyway, a review of Honest Ed's... Well, I'm biased. Much of my childhood was spent in this store... Coming from a long line of bargain hunters, as I do, every time my family went out to dinner in the Annex, the tradition was to always stop in at Honest Ed's and walk off dinner... As a child, I remember thinking that this was the coolest place on earth... All the big signs, different levels and a glass ride that went over the street and took you into another building... Not to mention the merchandise... Manny of my favorite clothes as a kid came from those big, overflowing bins. I can remember the most bizarre stuff... One bin filled with suit coats fro $10.99 and another filled with London Fog fedoras for $5.99, two of which my father still has. My return to this place came in my late teens where a friend of mine and I emerged with Swiss Army Knives and kick ass headphones fro under $10.00. The last time I was in there was about a year ago. I went in for a specific item and came out victorious in my mission. Every since I was pushed in a stroller I can remember bins filled with huge busts of Elvis (The King) painted the most bizarre colours... You will see these at various colourful places around the city... I figured that before Ed's goes for good, I had better grab one. And I did... It was bigger, heavier and creepier than I ever remember, but it is just so beautiful... Long live the King and long live Honest Ed's. Unfortunately, this is one of the only remaining installations of Honest Ed Mirvish's footprint on the city of Toronto... In the basement, you can still se some of the relics from his Old Ed's restaurant that used to be in King St. How I miss that as well... Ed's is almost like a museum of Toronto, with all of the Old theatre posters and celebrity autographs lining the walls. It is what it is. And hey, if Ed's has to go, at least it will leave us exactly as it was when it started. With integrity and above all... Honesty.
