Customer Reviews

Maybe you've heard of Chicago, one of our larger suburbs...

...but it's a lot easier to find a parking spot in Waukegan. This is a dandy book, full of wonderful pictures and descriptions... and it makes a terrific stocking stuffer! Please support our efforts to revitalize our town, and buy one (or more!) of these.

Looking at these old pics makes you wish you were from here.

An historic-image tour de force that will change your life. Even if you're not lucky enough to be from Waukegan, Illinois, you should buy this book and pretend that you are. Buy the book and display the book in a prominent area. Better yet, buy several copies and display them in every corner of your home and office. When people ask "Is this where you're from?", tell them that you are not only from there, you spend every waking minute reliving treasured memories of playing in the ravines, swimming in Lake Michigan, reading in the old Carnegie Library, or watching shows in the historic Genesee Theater. This book and its great old photos will go a long way to helping you adopt Waukegan as your new hometown. As the photos in the book demonstrate, anyplace else pales in comparison.
