Summary: "Southern" charm!
Review: The authors take a lighthearted view of Chicago's South suburbs. The book is not only a great guide to what's happening in the era, but gives the reader a tongue-in-cheek peek tour, complete with insider details. A must read for new area residents!

Summary: Neat book
Review: This is a pretty neat book with a lot of interesting facts. It's cool that someone put out a book about our area. It was fun to read too. The authors are smart-alexs. If you're from the area, I'd say snag a copy.

Summary: This is the funniest guide book I've ever read!!!
Review: This is the funniest guide book I've ever read! The authors' sarcasim and dry wit actually made reading about yard ornaments fun. I lived in the south suburbs for 20 years and had no idea that all these historical events took place "in my own backyard". The only bad thing I can say is that 250+ pages was too short. The book was so interesting and fun I wanted more!
