The Glass Bottle Manufacturing Capital of the World: A Few Stories from Streator, Illinois

By Richard E. O'Hara

A small collection of stories from a small town in Illinois. Rich O'Hara spent his boyhood in the burg that called itself "The Glass Bottle Manufacturing Capital of the World." Here he recounts his early experiences working as an ice cream vendor and factory laborer, takes us on a tour of Main Street, and closes out with a little history of the glass bottle and a loving reminder of a friend who knew how to have fun. Find yourself some shade and a glass of lemonade and spend an afternoon in a place far away. And when you're done, pick up a copy of Rich's latest book, "The Narrow Roads," and have even more fun.
