Original Toronto Star caption: 2,500 history buffs: Donald Jones, who writes on Toronto's history for The Star, leads a throng of history enthusiasts along King St. E. in the heart of old York. Jones, in dark suit and carrying speakers, entertained the crowd with the kind of statistics not often found in history books-such as the fact that we used to have a tavern for every 20 families and that a local brewery paid its workers extra for sobriety.
