For many people the idea of small town urban life existed only behind the screens of television as millions watched the fictitious comedic affairs of the small-town characters from "Mayberry, "on a weekly basis. The show's popularity had some "big city "dwellers longing for such a cozy place, and urban dwellers, feeling blessed by their Divine providence. Urban cities speckled the map across the Nation. But for those living in Cleveland, Tennessee, during the 40's and 50's, their lifestyle was much the same as the residents of Mayberry. Every small town has a history built around its legends and folklore. The celebrations, the secrets, the legends, and folklore that are revealed in this book are as much a part of the city's history as its citizens.This book, Growing Up in Urban America In The 40's and 50's shares stories that draws the reader back in time to the carefree days of his or her own childhood. A time of innocence where family, community, and country were significant. The author, Charles Bowlin, is a life-long resident of Cleveland, Tn. His book is an easy read that will entertain, inform, and inspire the reader. His detailed accounts of small town life in urban South Cleveland documents history of the area, but will resonate with readers from all walks of life. For those from similar backgrounds, it will offer a time to reflect and reconnect with a simpler time. The book also provides those from larger cities to imagine a modest, but somehow fortunate time. I believe you will enjoy the innocent yet valuable tales that fill the pages of this book. I am very proud of the author, my Father, and am pleased that he chose to share his memories for many to appreciate. Let me suggest that you grab a glass of sweet tea and head to the porch with this book. The written words may remind you to breathe a little deeper and find your own place of serenity as you reminisce about the good ole days. Karen Michele Welch
