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, it’s the west end’s turn, from Ossington Avenue over to the 427, between Eglinton Avenue and the Lake.
