Thoughts on the Honest Ed’s Sale and Mid-Century Architecture

Last week, it was announced that the Bloor and Bathurst eyesore, Honest Ed’s and its surrounding “Mirvish Village” are up for sale.  I’ve had about a week to think about it, and have gone back and forth as to whether this is a good thing.  And I’m still a bit undecided. But one thing that […]
