More than just a place to call home, Toledo is the focal point for our publication and a wonderful city full of history. In Lost Toledo, the newest book by local author and journalist veteran, David Yonke, he captures nostalgic beauty through images and research. The historic trip through the city includes landmarks from Toledo’s past, such as Tiedtke’s, LaSalle and the Portside Festival Marketplace. Highlighting the social heritage that made Toledo a destination, photographs include Babe Ruth and Elvis Presley, “There was so much to cover with Toledo’s long and fascinating history,” Yonke remarked, “I knew from the start I needed to narrow the focus, so I chose the people, places and topics that I found most interesting.”
Yonke will be signing copies of Lost Toledo at the Apple Butter Festival in Grand Rapids beginning at 8am on Sunday, October 11 at Library Books
