Honest Ed’s is a funny place. It makes me feel a combination of excitement and depression when I’m inside it.

It’s so old fashioned with it’s flashing lights, it’s antique entertainers eight by tens, and hand painted signage. There’s the smell of cheap, Chinese plastic, thick in the air – obviously toxic.

But then I find certified organic shampoo for sale, and all is forgiven.

You can’t go in expecting to find exactly what you want, but often you’ll find something you need anyway.

    I really need to make a trip there. I haven’t seriously looked in Honest Ed’s for a few years now. I usually rush in and (try to find the way) out getting sharpies or water for the Beguiling haha
