Many activities become short-lived fads. Not so for the drum and bugle corps in Racine. Here; after 150 years; drum and bugle corps activity still flourishes as a proud tradition. Racine is the self-proclaimed drum corps capital of the world. Racine had six competing drum and bugle corps during the 1960s and 1970s�very impressive for a community of 90;000. In fact; it would be difficult to find a longtime resident who is unaware of this activity. Everyone in Racine either was a member of or had family or friends who were members of a drum and bugle corps.

Of some interest if you like Long Island. like the Vanderbilts. or like car travel (first limited access highway in the Americas.)3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Great book. a little piece of LI historyBy Ray ZatorskiHaving grown up on long Island. the fragments of stories about the LI Motor Parkway - or as the locals called it the Vanderbilt Parkway -were fascinating but how could anyone build his own road? The history and photos explain everything and provide sources to find out more. I can now verify. or in some cases. disprove the stories and urban myths about this piece or LI history.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. history in my own backyardBy Frank ScottySince moving into Levittown.N.Y. recently.
