Description
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 3, the third volume in Dundurn Press’s Toronto Sketches series, Filey brings together some of the best of his columns.
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 is a nostalgic journey for the long-time Torontonian, and a voyage of discovery for the newcomer.

Editorial Reviews
"Filey does not condescend to common Torontonians; he celebrates them. With more than 1000 columns in reserve, it appears Filey has plenty of trips to the well yet to go."
CBRA
