An idyllic childhood examined from the viewpoint of a boy growing up in the western suburbs of Chicago during the 1950s and 60s. Clarendon Hills was part of the suburban boom that occurred in post-WWII America when the country was ascendent. The author looks at what shaped his life as the village was growing; the wealth distinctions, the transformation of a wild peat bog into a park, the teacher whose words he can still recall, the all-consuming love of baseball, his family's background, the characters and personalities present in daily life. Readers will go on a toboggan ride with a future criminal; find out about the prostitute rumor; re-live a bank robbery; sneak into the Hinsdale movie theater; visit Lucy's to buy some candy; re-live an era that will never again exist.
