Rockefeller Foundation and Guardian Newspaper

: It seems the Guardian newspaper agrees, according to Toronto Star. In a list published through a partnership with the Rockefeller Foundation, the UK-based newspaper included the iconic discount store in an interactive list telling the History of cities in 50 buildings. That the message a brightly coloured banner hanging in Honest Ed has proudly proclaimed to customers for years. From the 4,600-year-old pyramid of Zoser to the under-construction one kilometre-high Kingdom Tower — via the first London semi, Beijing old stock exchange and L.A. stacked freeway interchange — these 50 structures tell unique stories of our urban history, an explanation of the project pontificates. These are all projects that reflect some historic points where buildings have either demonstrated some sort of cultural or technological changes, said Vincent Hui, an architectural science professor at Ryerson University. There, nestled between the Palestinian parliament and a floating school in Lagos, Nigeria, sits a photo of Honest Ed’s, its instantly recognizable storefront filling the frame.
