Streets and Streetcars of St. Louis: A Sentimental Journey

Streets and Streetcars of St. Louis: A Sentimental Journey by Young, Andrew D.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780964727939.

The years 1946-1966 brought tremendous change to community life, especially in the inner ring of St. Louis suburbs originally created by the streetcar. This unusual collection of more than 300 photographs documents those changes as it records the line-by-line, suburb-by-suburb disappearance of the streetcar from St. Louis. Almost all the photographs are the work of St. Louisan Ray Gehl and most have never been published before. They are a unique record of a time well within living memory, yet utterly different from the way most folk live now.
