trip down memory lane
When someone says Toronto, I assume most people think of the CN Tower. Or the Blue Jays. Maybe even pollution and lots of shootings. What comes to my mind is Honest Ed's. I hadn't been to this famous institution since I was 13 and so I decided it was about time I made a trek over to see if the reality meshed with my very vague memories.Well, it was not at all like what I remembered apart from the bright and flashing garish lights outside screaming "Honest Ed's." In fact, it reminded me very much of Army & Navy, what with the layout and all the junk you could dig through. As my friend said, they carry clothes, but it's not what you'd call fashion. We spent a couple of hours just browsing through the aisles. They had a lot of crap and most of it was cheap but I had to keep reminding myself that it was not quite the dollar store, although if it was, I'd probably buy a boatload of useless stuff just because I'd be telling myself that it was only a dollar.

My TO pad is a ten minute walk from Honest Eds....You kind of hate to criticize the place, because, after all, it is an institution.
But you're right. It ISN'T the dollar store. And there's just so much crap in that place....it's kind of creepy...
