Howards Sports occupied a rather unusual building on Lady & Assembly Streets. It's unusual in that it has a frontage on both streets, but is not a corner building, but instead wraps around behind Moe Levy's<\/i> (which is<\/i> the corner building) and Reliable Loan Office<\/i>. As far as I can tell, Howard's<\/i> identified itself only with the Lady Street address, but the Loopnet listing specified both addresses<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It's definitely an interesting building even aside from the shape, brick with three levels, murals on the north side and a corner stair-case. I'm saying 2005 for the closing date, as the business license in the window was for 2004. Interestingly though, there is a 2010 license pasted below that, and the Loopnet listing above claims the building is now off the market, though it was still plastered with \"For Sale\" signs when I took these shots on 14 Feb 2010 and 10 April 2010.<\/p>\n

(I see references to the name both with and without an apostrophe -- I'm going by the signs in the window and leaving it out).<\/p>\n

UPDATE 7 Feb 2013<\/b>: See the interesting note in the comments as to the history of this building. And also note that Howards Sports<\/i> is still there (though looking to move) and does custom printing of sports apparel now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
