Toronto Sketches 5 by Mike Filey

Mike Filey's "The Way We Were" column in the Toronto Sun continues to be one of the paper's most popular features. In Toronto Sketches 5, the fifth volume in Dundurn Press's Toronto Sketches series, Filey brings together some of the best of his columns from 1996 and 1997.

Each column looks at Toronto as it was, and contributes to our understanding of how Toronto became what it is. Illustrated with photographs of the city's people and places of the past, Toronto Sketches 5 is a nostalgic journey for the long-time Torontonian, and a voyage of discovery for the newcomer.

Mike Filey is a well-known Toronto historian who served on the Toronto Historical Board and the Ontario Heritage Fund in the past. Mike is a prominent commentator on various Toronto radio stations, in addition to his regular column The Way We Were in the Toronto Sunday Sun. From Horse Power to Horsepower, The TTC Story, I Remember Sunnyside, and the enormously famous Toronto Sketches series are just a few of his many works about Toronto.
