...not many honest guys left.
Passing of an era for Toronto. Have a sweet week my friend!
Watching the thumbnail I thought it is the sign of a circus :)
Very big and eye-catching indeed !
I remember seeing this place and I think I remember seeing your night time shot. That really is the end of an era. So, will another condo building go up?
That's been there a long time! I find it sad to see an iconic landmark like this be torn down.
Oh dear it will surely be missed by many. It's amazing that he died that long ago and it survived until now, that's a good thing!
Will they save that big and probably iconic sign somewhere?
That's a shame Pat.. Steffe got in there just before me ☺ I wondered about the sign too. It's so distinctive I should imagine it would be missed if it disappeared from the street-scape!
Too bad that family or someone couldn't find a way to keep it opened.
That's a shame. I bet whatever replaces it won't have half as much character.
That's sad that it will no longer be in the community. I do hope that they will save the sign somewhere.
I join the others in mourning the passing of this great place.
23,000 lights. Wow!
Sad end of an era.
Such an iconic place with fantastic signage. A pity it has to go as time moves on...
Great sign, sad that it is the end of an era.
I've never actually been in there.
Well, I sure hope he was honest.
awww. a piece of your culture closing...
What a bit of history! We lived not far away when we were first married, and I remember shopping there for kitchen stuff. I also remember a fateful night at a bar near there; I've blanked out the name to avoid the memories!
Wonderful sign! Sad that it is closing
It would be nice if they could keep just a piece of it to give historic context to the new buildings coming up, perhaps the signage or part of a wall. In my neck of the woods they tore down an old elementary school and will be calling the condos springing up there, “Old School”.
I would take as many pics as I could...both inside and out. I bet it will be missed.
There are going be a lot of people that will miss this store. Is the link for the night shot http://occasionaltoronto.blogspot.ca/2010/08/honest-eds.html
Fantastic store, sad to see that era come to a close
It is a grand sign. I must be getting sentimental. When places like these close, I get a bit sad.
