{"product_id":"council-bluffs-richard-warner-9781531631680","title":"Council Bluffs: Broadway","description":"During the 1830s, a path appeared where Indian Creek flowed out of the loess hills at Caldwell's Potawatomi village and led west across the Eight-Mile \u003cbr\u003ePrairie. A decade later, that path became Broadway through Mormon Kanesville where California-bound 49ers found anything for sale. Kanesville became Council Bluffs after 1852 as Broadway spread from Mud Hollow and Old Town past the Fourth Street Angle across a \"sea of prairie grass and sun-flowers\" to the ferries on the Big Muddy, the Missouri River. More changes came with the Northwestern, Union Pacific, and Illinois Central Railroads as Broadway evolved into the route of four U.S. highways. People went to work at World Radio, Woodward's, and Omaha Standard, and notorious mobster Meyer Lansky ran greyhounds where stock cars later raced at Playland Park while teenagers cruised for hamburgers and entertainment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Warner, Ryan Roenfeld\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531631681\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531631680\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Richard Warner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44540581347583,"sku":"9781531631680","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cbf0dc38-f92e-49d3-b7cd-d2fac59fb8e5.jpg?v=1700588707","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/council-bluffs-richard-warner-9781531631680","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
