Two years ago, Torontoist found sixty-two businesses in Toronto with pun-y names —from Boulevard of Broken Seams (a clothing shop that did alterations) to The Pour House (a pub) to Hi Fi Fo Fum (a speaker store). Since, we’ve found nearly one hundred more. Today, everything punderful out east, from the Don River east to Kennedy Road, and from Eglinton Avenue south to Lake Ontario.
