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.
