Download or read book Main Street Revisited written by Richard V. Francaviglia and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 1996-06-01 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an archetype for an entire class of places, Main Street has become one of America's most popular and idealized images. In Main Street Revisited, the first book to place the design of small downtowns in spatial and chronological context, Richard Francaviglia finds the sources of romanticized images of this archetype, including Walt Disney's Main Street USA, in towns as diverse as Marceline, Missouri, and Fort Collins, Colorado. Francaviglia interprets Main Street both as a real place and as an expression of collective assumptions, designs, and myths; his Main Streets are treasure troves of historic patterns. Using many historical and contemporary photographs and maps for his extensive fieldwork and research, he reveals a rich regional pattern of small-town development that serves as the basis for American community design. He underscores the significance of time in the development of Main Street's distinctive personality, focuses on the importance of space in the creation of place, and concentrates on popular images that have enshrined Main Street in the collective American consciousness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER In this “magical trip worth taking” (Associated Press), the New York Times bestselling author of In Five Years returns with a powerful novel about the transformational love between mothers and daughters set on the breathtaking Amalfi Coast. When Katy’s mother dies, she is left reeling. Carol wasn’t just Katy’s mom, but her best friend and first phone call. She had all the answers and now, when Katy needs her the most, she is gone. To make matters worse, their planned mother-daughter trip of a lifetime looms: to Positano, the magical town where Carol spent the summer right before she met Katy’s father. Katy has been waiting years for Carol to take her, and now she is faced with embarking on the adventure alone. But as soon as she steps foot on the Amalfi Coast, Katy begins to feel her mother’s spirit. Buoyed by the stunning waters, beautiful cliffsides, delightful residents, and, of course, delectable food, Katy feels herself coming back to life. And then Carol appears—in the flesh, healthy, sun-tanned, and thirty years old. Katy doesn’t understand what is happening, or how—all she can focus on is that she has somehow, impossibly, gotten her mother back. Over the course of one Italian summer, Katy gets to know Carol, not as her mother, but as the young woman before her. She is not exactly who Katy imagined she might be, however, and soon Katy must reconcile the mother who knew everything with the young woman who does not yet have a clue. “Rebecca Serle is known for her powerful stories that tug at the heartstrings—and her latest is just as unforgettable” (Woman’s World) as it effortlessly shows us how to move on after loss, and how the people we love never truly leave us.

Download or read book Streets of Fort Collins written by Charlene Tresner and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Street Names in Fort Collins" was the title of a series of columns written by local historian Charlene Tresner for the "Triangle Review" newspaper in the early 1970s. The Fort Collins, Colorado, weekly later published the series in booklet form in 1977 under the title, "Streets of Fort Collins." That booklet has been out of print for many years. Patterson House Book Publishing has expanded and improved the out-of-print booklet. The revised edition of "Streets of Fort Collins," published in 2007, retains the original flavor of Charlene Tresner's writings. As a fifth-generation Fort Collins' native, Tresner included personal stories about members of pioneer families whose surnames now identify many of Fort Collins' earliest streets. The current book has been reorganized into three parts with sections devoted to the original town site, subsequent additions, and early street maintenance practices. All information in the first edition was verified before inclusion in the revised version. Historic photographs published in the first edition are also included in the new book, plus many more early images that illustrate Tresner's pioneer stories. A comprehensive index added to the revised edition allows readers to quickly locate topics of interest and makes "Streets of Fort Collins: A History of Fort Collins, Colorado, Through Its Street Names, Revised Edition" an easy-to-use, local history reference.
