Product Description
From the Author
A good book that brought back lots of memorys.
I thought this was a very good read. What was most interesting to me was the town of Butler, Pa. where I lived and was a businessman for eighteen years. Stewart was right on with the names of places he talked about; like Susans Motel with the waterbeds. Many an adultrous meetings were held there by people I new. Natili's, where I spent some time having a few cocktails with my drinking buddys and the Burger Hut where we would end up after a night of drinking for something to eat. I knew the owners of these establishments very well. I also was an owner of one of the establishments mentioned in this novel. I was managing partner of the Rusty Nail from 1973-1980. Butler is a town that has a lot to say and could fill many books, both fiction and non fiction. For a mill town, this was one great party place, especially in the 1970's and the 1980's. This town has some wonderfully interesting characters.

Mr. O'nan did a wonderful job of depicting this town. His book fits this town to a tee.
