Didn't live there, but close to it in North Bergen.  I got a real kick out of seeing all those places that I remember.

since I live near Oak Ridge, TN, another secret city, and know many who were raised there in the 40s, it was particularly interesting to me.

I am also a life long resident of the Osceola community where the Chaney Tavern is.  My Daddy bought land from the mentioned Wilson's and I still live on a part of that land.  I went to school with a MacAfee and wonder if he is a relation to Big George.

This story is well written to describe the areas around here as well as the people.  It kept me interested so that finished it in one sitting.  Just creepy enough.

My youngest was born in N.C. and although we now live in N.M. he is adamant that he is not from N.M.

OK, but didn't seem quite so real looking into my home from the outside. However, if I lived in a high crime area would have kept it.

Lived nearby from 1973-1980.  Had no clue to the plight of the area; the press was very biased against the residents and the police were reported as victims not perpetrators. Sad how the press can twist reality.

I found it interesting to read about this often overlooked subpopulation. My family branches off into this part of the country and those of us who migrated to the west coast lived a very different life than those who stayed in the Midwest. Im not sure like he mentions what the conclusions is - there isn't really a policy that can pull those in the situation out, except for a person who believes in your future.

I've lived in the South most of my life, but actually went through grade school and high school in Skokie,Il. I am of the Christian faith but had so many Jewish friends "near and dear" to my heart. The description of the relatives at gatherings took me back into my friends' homes. I  knew those Aunts, Uncles , and Grandparents.  They may have been suspicious of me ,but I never knew it because of their warmth. I always knew about the Holocaust but didn't realize how many survivors existed in Skokie. My era was the 50's and 60's. I lived on Kildare Ave. down from ,the then, Cleveland school. It was idyllic. "Thanks for the memories",Linda!

I was born in 1951, and was brought up in Kirkcaldy, on the east coast of Scotland. Many things in the book resonated with my memories, although I did not live in a tenement as did Robert Douglas. The book is well-written, and characterises life in 1940s / 1950s Glasgow very well.

the book is a detailed account of some of the people in the sparsely settled region.  The question comes down to why?  If you are from the area, it might be of interest.  As an outsider, I found it much more information than I really wanted.
