by Jerry Kranitz (Author)
Kenmore, New York, in the 1970s, was the best place and time, in all human history to have come of age. Scientific proof of this claim is to be found in these pages. Jerry Kranitz regales the reader with stories of living across the street from the penny candy capital of the world - Kiener's, delivering the Courier Express, hanging out in bars like He & She's, Korab's, and Fletcher's, pizza at Di Rose, Valenti's, and Scirri's, and much more. Jerry and his friends' shenanigans were many, and nothing is left out. Most important, Jerry enlists the co-conspirators he's remained friends with for over 50 years to help tell the tale. Among the juvenile, moronic, drunken behavior in these pages, there's a wealth of fun, hard work, and lessons learned. And, crucially, there is reflection with the hindsight of over 60 years in this great country.
