It was a delight to see pictures of my old haunts such as; the Marbro and Paradise Theatres; Legler Library; Madison Street; Garfield Park Lagoon; Garfield Park Conservatory;Delano School and the Graemere Hotel. I have clear memories of all these places and the pictures and the narrative in this book pinpointed the life that we led in that place and in that time. It is my good fortune that I grew up there and then and that I am lucky enough to still have so many dear friends that shared life with me in that space...in that time.Marcy C.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
