Summary: "wonderful!"

not only was this book a tremendous value, but a wonderful resource! the photos are just divine and the information for each is delightful! i learned quite a lot about this city that i had never known.

it was a nice touch with the reference points of what the streets pictured currently are (i.e.: center street is now what is lincoln avenue). it brought a level of realism to the history which i greatly appreciated.

all in all, well worth reading!
