Cruizin' North County, Remembering our Happy Days in a St. Louis Suburb, 1950s to 1970s

By Bill Kasalko and Craig Kaintz

"Cruizin? North County" is a collection of fond memories about growing up in north St. Louis county in the 1950s to 1970s. It is the first-ever book to capture the spirit of that time and place. Authors Craig Kaintz and Bill Kasalko have spent years gathering photographs of their favorite hangouts, from the Chain of Rocks amusement park to Chuck-A-Burger, from the diners to the drive-ins, from Bob Kuban to Ike & Tina Turner. ?Were our homes like Ward and June Cleaver?s? Not exactly, but our fathers worked, our mothers stayed home and we all had a friend or two like Eddy Haskell. It was new and it was 'kool.?? Whether you?re from North County or not, you?ll enjoy this pictorial ?time machine? of a quintessential American suburb.
