On Harrisonville Avenue takes the reader on an entertaining journey to the mid 1950's. Living in a booming steel-town on the Ohio River, 13 year old Ron is confronted with the many town characters - the Mayor, the town drunk, the barbershop, denizens of the pool hall, Alex the Greek, Eddie the Lawyer and the Police.

Loving family, friends and teachers support him through his coming of age, complete with many humorous and awkward encounters. Ducktails, slow dancing, 45rpm, school paddling, pigs in a blanket, curb feelers, tailfins, the Col.Bogey March, Spin the Bottle, Eleanor Roosevelt, musicians, baseball, lipstick on your collar and Whila -- all part of a special time.

The stories included provide a patchwork experience of the area and a glimpse into today. An easy read in an anecdotal style, On Harrisonville Avenue will amuse younger and older readers alike with its naiveté and genuine situations -- perhaps reminiscent of your own !
