This is a new sign that has popped up in the Mirvish Village neighbourhood which is on the site of the old Honest Ed's store. I had no idea of this history of the Mirvish family opening a clothing store for women here in 1940 which eventually morphed into the famous store.Taking part in Signs2.

The Mirvishes were such a big name and presence in Toronto, weren't they!
How I wish that I could have visited the Honest Ed's store!!!
Fine concept they had, RedPat!
That is quite a history. It's nice that they have put up a sign so that future generations can learn about this family.
Live and learn.
I didn't see that when I was there.
I like those informative signs. They tell us so much about local history.
It's good the history of this location is on this sign. Locals should know about their neighborhood.
Such history!
