PixleyMary brought together; in history order; very poignant photos from various archives that showed the development and evolution of Corona; CA. Corona holds a lot of unique history; and it is nice to be able to see some of the stories many of us heard as we were growing up; here in Corona. I enjoyed this collection and authors comments very much and going through this book was much like traveling through time; but with real import and reality mixed together!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
