We can’t figure out whether it has really gone downhill or whether it’s just that this landmark store was so much more appealing when we were younger! I grew up in the Annex so I spent a lot of time in Honest Ed’s as a kid, enjoying the funny slogans painted on the building, the flashing lights, and what seemed like fascinating bargains. Now it’s kind of just a giant dollar store. Although Ed’s birthday every year in June is still something cool to bring the kids to and he still gives out turkeys every Christmas!
