Summary
"Domer takes us on a nostalgic journey of living in Oshkosh, Wisconsin in the 1950s and 1960s. His tales take us back to a time when a family night out usually meant eating at a drive-in and going to the outdoor theater in our pajamas. His experiences growing up on the city's "west side" are sure to rekindle memories for everyone who enjoy relating back to those days of old in their own hometown. If you remember corner grocery stores, milk delivered to your door, the downtown movie theaters, pizza parlors and the numerous people who made Oshkosh what it is today, then you will enjoy "Yesterday in Oshkosh-- my hometown"--back cover
