Product Description

First published in 1982, I Remember Sunnyside is a mine of golden memories, bringing back to life an earlier Toronto, only hints of which remain today. Like the city itself, Sunnyside was an everchanging landscape from its heady opening days in the early 1920s to its final sad demolition in the 1950s. The book captures the spirit of the best of times a magical era which can only be recaptured in memory and photographs. It also presents the reality of a newer Toronto where change, although necessary, is sometimes regrettable.

History and Heritage
If heritage is also part of your interest in Toronto's history, then Mike Filey's books are a great place to start. This book for me, has great significance, since I found a picture that actually relates to my great grandmother. It is a stepping stone helping me follow my family heritage.
I look forward to owning other titles by Mike Filey, as I was born in Toronto.
