HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TORONTO!

Today, our dear city turns 180 years old! To celebrate, we thought we'd share the evolution of one of our favourite Toronto neighbourhoods—Queen West, of course!

Portraits of Queen West, by Kevin Steele is a great representation of the ever-changing landscape of the city. Different shops, buildings, and people have helped to shape this wonderful piece of Canada that we call home. We're absolutely honoured to be a part of this city's rich history.

Here are a few photos of our store front, taken by Patrick Cummins long before it was ours.
