{"product_id":"alameda-greta-dutcher-9780738530390","title":"Alameda","description":"Alameda was once a peninsula of grassy fields and sandy beaches, separated from Oakland by a snaking estuary. A tidal canal made Alameda an island in 1902 and its waterfront became a major shipping port. Park Street's bay-windowed commercial buildings looked out on a prosperous city of streetcars and comfortable homes. Between the two world wars, Alameda's Neptune Beach resort and amusement park became the \"Coney Island of the West,\" eventually boasting a Moorish entrance tower on Webster Street, a stadium, two swimming pools, a high dive, and a roller coaster called the \"Whoopie.\" Alameda's strategic location made its \"airdrome\" the busiest in the world in the 1930s and eventually attracted a U.S. Coast Guard base, known as Government Island, and the Alameda Naval Air Station.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Greta Dutcher, Stephen Rowland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0738530395\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738530390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/21\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.28h x 6.52w x 0.36d","brand":"Greta Dutcher","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925778858239,"sku":"9780738530390","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_4dd68f5a-e3f0-4373-a7a1-f10989dde1c1.jpg?v=1681079303","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/alameda-greta-dutcher-9780738530390","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
