These are collections of Mike Fileys best work from his popular and long-running Toronto Sun column, "The Way We Were."

Mike Filey’s "The Way We Were" column in the Toronto Sun continues to be one of the paper’s most popular features. In More Toronto Sketches, the second 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.

Mike Filey is a popular Toronto historian and is a former member of the Toronto Historical Board and the Ontario Heritage Foundation. In addition to his regular column in the Toronto Sun, he is a popular commentator on several Toronto radio stations. He is the author of many books on Toronto, including From Horse Power to Horsepower, The TTC Story, and I Remember Sunnyside.
