Remembering Main Street: An American Album

Author: Pat Ross
Stars: 4
Review by: Mandy Apgar


This came about as the end result of the author's exploration of her hometown's Main Street - seeing how many other ideally bucolic places were still out there. Very few (not even 10) cities are covered, and things are pretty heavy on the photography end so there isn't as much history as one could hope for - but she does manage to find a group that still resemble an Andy Griffith Show set. Not that that is a bad thing per se, and that is discussed. Some of these areas were the end result of revitalization projects or the like and so that does play into it - people tending to want to go simpler and well stated even today.
