Great memory lane bookBy stonefamily20I am from the Cherry Hill area (Pennsauken) and as I "mature"; it is great to have a pictorial to go along with my "remember when" stories.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Seems too shortBy steelcityI love history and really enjoyed reading this book although it seems very short but a very good read and recommended5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Local Interest At Its Best!By C. H. CohenA wonderful book for those that either remember the Cherry Hill area from a bygone time; or those that wish to see what their area was like before they were born. This book stays on topic; is concise and is full of photographs that remind those that remember of a time that Cherry Hill rivaled Philadelphia; Atlantic City and other Mega attraction areas. The photos and narrative bring back the memories and sights that can not be found elsewhere.
