Millions of people around the world are waiting for this moment.

Catherine was brought early morning to the Lindo Wing at St. Mary's Hospital which is next to Paddington Station in London.  It is the same hospital where Princes William and Harry were born.

The world is celebrating for the arrival of the Royal child.  People all over the world gathered outside Buckingham Palace and crowds of well wishers cheer at London's St. Mary Hospital. Celebrities reacted and have sent their best wishes to the couple. It's a feeling of excitement for this great part of the history.

HONEST ED's ~ A Toronto Landmark No More!

If you have travelled to Canada, you must have crossed the street leading to Honest Ed's, an iconic discount outlet in the intersection of Bloor & Bathurst Sts. in the city of Toronto. A landmark for tourists and a great entertainment and shopping experience combined.

The "one location only" shopping centre is located in the culturally diverse, safe and vibrant neighbourhood. The area around Honest Ed's store is called Mirvish Village, a unique shopping area featuring boutiques, book stores, artists studios, antique shops, cafes, bars and restaurants.



Going up the stairs to the second floor, one can see autographed pictures of show business personalities and theatrical productions. This reveal the link between Ed Mirvish as a theatre producer, and Honest Ed as a retailer.

Honest Ed's days are numbered.  I am not a big fan of this huge retail store maybe because I am, most of the time, lost trying to find its exit.  But if only I buy something and head to the cashier to pay, then it will lead me to my way out because there is a tiny exit beside the counters.
