Beauty In The Details
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
In a time when all of the metropolitan areas all look pretty much the same, with all of the same chain stores giving malls that same kind of banality, this travelogue refreshes my memory of all of the quaint and inimitable places that I remember from my youthful wanderings. I found myself anxious to discover the origins of the picturesque locations and even when the search proved disappointing there were still the fascinating observations of the author and his "research crew." I wish I had found these sort of stories with my kids.
Amusing, warm, informative look at small town America.

Dale Peterson hits the nail on the head in this neat little book, as he roams around small-town America. The many encounters with locals are funny, sometimes bittersweet evocations of an America that many of us thought lost years ago. A splendid work.
