I was born and my parents were raised and married in Lockport. I bought the book after my most recent visit because as I walked and drove through Lockport. I wanted to envision what it was like in its heyday. This book helped me see it a little clearer. This book and the burger stand Reids are musts for those who live there and anyone planning a visit to the area.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
