A detailed photo history of the town of Glendale, New York.
In a fast paced easily readable style, the book uses more than 18- captioned photographs to tell the story of this unusual town with a rural atmosphere located just 6 miles from Manhattan. Surrounded by cemeteries and rich in German history, the town was once known as the playground of New York City with its picnic parks and outdoor beer gardens. Today it is a large community of 80,000+ people intent on keeping the traditions that gave it a small town feel in spite of its proximity to one of the world's largest urban centers. | |  | | Landmarks & Historic Sites of Long Island
