Ed Mirvish also known as 'Honest Ed'. Bathurst/Bloor.
Not far from former Edwin Mirvishes emporium is this reminder of his economy shopping mecca 'Honest Ed'. The pre-cursor of 'Dollar Store', is no more (store closed in Dec 2016), and more condos rose from its ashes. Those are now almost completed. It will not be the same bargain, as the stuff in his store was. Ed Mirvish, despite being very rich was a down to earth man, who shared his wealth with donations and he celebrated his birthday in later years by throwing a great kids party with free rides, entertainment and junk food. Everybody was invited and Mr. Mirvish was in attendance. A theatre impresario, Mirvish brought top shows to Toronto. He is a true Toronto legend. Mural by Spud from Sep 2017.
