My review

This is a great book for everyone to read. Its all pictures with captions below. Anybody who grew up on the Southeast side (like me)need to buy this book. It has a history of this side dating back to before the turn of the century. I think it desearves more than a 5 star rating.

A delightful journey back!

This book is chock full of pictures and descriptions of the neighborhood known as the Southeast Side of Chicago. A must for anyone who grew up in this area. What memories! A definite coffee table addition to any home. And a wonderful gift.

Great book for Eastsiders in Chicago.

Anyone from the southeast side of Chicago will love this book. It's full of great pictures of the places we grew up with. It makes a great gift for someone who's hard to buy for. I bought one for my older brother and he is enjoying all the memories it brings to mind.
