Park Ridge

Set against the backdrop of 19th-century immigration, the narrative explores the evolution of a community from Pennyville to Brickton, and finally to Park Ridge. The village's name reflects its scenic environment and a historical misconception about its geography. Highlighting notable residents like Hillary Clinton and Harrison Ford, the book chronicles the area's rich history and cultural transformations, with a focus on landmarks such as the art deco Pickwick Theater, illustrating the vibrant changes in downtown Park Ridge over the years.
