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: those stores, restaurants, cafés, and bars in the southernmost part of downtown, south of College and Carlton streets, east to the Don Valley, and west to Ossington Avenue.
