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, the Pun Hunt goes up north, from Lawrence Avenue all the way up to Elgin Mills Road, and from the 427 all the way over to McCowan Road.
