<p>Cruizin North County is a collection of fond memories about growing up in north St. Louis county in the 1950s to 1970s. It is the first-ever book to capture the spirit of that time and place. Authors Craig Kaintz and Bill Kasalko have spent years gathering photographs of their favorite hangouts, from the Chain of Rocks amusement park to Chuck-A-Burger, from the diners to the drive-ins, from Bob Kuban to Ike &amp; Tina Turner. Were our homes like Ward and June Cleaver s? Not exactly, but our fathers worked, our mothers stayed home and we all had a friend or two like Eddy Haskell. It was new and it was kool. Whether you re from North County or not, you ll enjoy this pictorial time machine of a quintessential American suburb.</p>

<p>Who knew cruizin is still so popular? The response to Cruizin North County, 1950's to 1970's, was remarkable! You asked Craig Kaintz and Bill Kasalko for more of your favorite memories and they have delivered. Their new book, Let's Go Cruizin Again, captures more hangouts, movie theaters, drive-ins, bowling alleys, skating rinks, 5 &amp; 10's and other 'cool' places, especially in Florissant and Ferguson. How about memories, yearbook pictures and more from 21 North County high schools? There is even a section with recipes for many favorite North County restaurants, past and present. 'Let's go dancing at the Castaway Club, have dinner at Yacovelli's, Ruiz or LaRocca's, catch a movie at the 270 Drive-In, Janet or Village Square Theaters, go bowling at Dick Weber Lanes or skating at Hodges. Then we can cruize through Chuck-A-Burger in Ferguson and have a pizza at Fratelli's, Roberto's or Pirrone's - then top it off with a cone at Velvet Freeze or a malt at Green Lea or Bergjan's.' Sit back and cruize again with your friends...Hey, do you remember when...?</p>
