| Continuing from yesterday's posting. The the iconic Honest Ed’s sign will be saved and place outside the Ed Mirvish Theatre in downtown Toronto in honour of the store’s founder. A plaque at ground level will explain the history of the store and its connection to the theatre. This is one of the ways that people of Toronto preserve the city's heritage and history. |

Also good in color and nice that is will be preserved by the people of Toronto.
ReplyDelete...all good things come to an end.
ReplyDeleteI 'honestly' hope they found everyone in 'Ed's' that got 'lost' before they tear it down. Thanks for sharing this piece of history.
ReplyDeleteGood news that the sign is being saved. I bought a wooden rolling pin in Ed's when I first came to Toronto in 1967. I still have it and use it whenever an apple pie is requested by the family. And many years later I met Ed Mirvish in one of his restaurants and told him about it.
ReplyDeleteYou wouldn't want anyone to forget about Ed. Was this really that good a store? That's a big sign and will take up a lot of space, but it is iconic of Toronto...
ReplyDeleteThat's great news and that is a great sign.
ReplyDeleteThat is the very good news, Andy. I like that the people of Toronto are not going to give up on this beautiful historical building.
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to say to you for a long time that your photography reminds me of my favorite Canadian photographer Fred Herzog. He also photographed real life of his city Vancouver.
I remember Pat talking about this place. I'm glad that something will be saved so that everyone can remember old Ed.
ReplyDeleteVery good idea !! The plate will always tell the story of the store. I also like in color.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo
It is good that they are keeping the sign in the city!
ReplyDeleteI love these old signs. It great that it is still on its place.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the process goes more smoothly than the debacle over the Sam's sign.
ReplyDeleteWell there you go, I'll consider it saved!
ReplyDeleteThat's nice they are preserving the sign. Nice tribute and memory to show, on one will forget Honest Ed. This looks great in colour too.
ReplyDeleteAlways good to leave a plaque of some description as of the past history.
ReplyDeleteThis is one heckuva sign. It would have been a shame to destroy it.
ReplyDeleteGlad to read they are keeping the sign. It is awesome!
