CHANGE OF PLANS: Destination Honest Ed's

Due to an administrative problem, there is a change of plans for our field trip. Instead of going to the ROM, we're headed to Honest Ed's instead.

Honest Ed's is a cultural, historic, and philanthropic icon of Toronto, and his flagship store has been visited by just about every tourist to our city, from royalty and Hollywood stars to poor ESL instructors like, um, me. In fact, the whole area, Mirvish Village, is named after its famous founder.

So, please meet INSIDE the entrance of the store (Honest Ed's, not the subway station) at 10 a.m. As the weather report says it will be cloudy with showers, with 15 - 20 mm of precipitation, what should you bring? How should you dress?

Those going by subway should get off at Bathurst Subway Station (east of Yonge-Bloor), walk south on Bathurst Street, cross Bloor Street, and enter the store on Bloor.

It's hard to miss the flashing lights of Honest Ed's, but ask anybody in the area, and they'll know the great man, Ed Mirvish, and his great store!
