I bought this as a gift for someone who spent much of their youth there. They enjoyed the book immensely especially the pictures of places which were a part of their lives, some of which are no longer there. It was well done, interesting, and informative.

5 star accurate account of a very progressive town.
My Mother,Alice Meehan Breininger,was born 88 years ago in Belleville and lived there until after she was married.She was raised at 651 Belleville Ave.She went through the Belleville school system and has always been complimented on her education.She returned to visit from upstate NY as often as she could and missed it when she was not there.She always told me how progressive and historic Belleville was and is still singing its praises.
We are now living in Florida,but given a ride to the airport,she'd return in an instant.Although the Young family(her grandparents) is gone she still misses her home.
The book sits on her bedside table and I find her reading it very often.It brings back so many good memories for her.Her review is that Nicole got it all right!!!!
I bought her this book,and after many years of expensive gifts,I finally got it right!
