{"product_id":"northbrook-karie-angell-luc-9780738561783","title":"Northbrook","description":"Northbrook, \"the Village of Friendly Living,\" was incorporated on November 18, 1901, as Shermerville. Prohibition and the Roaring Twenties brought new hopes, dreams, and a new identity--Northbrook, named for the West Fork of the North Branch of the Chicago River. An airport and seven golf courses opened, and new streets were paved in anticipation of a building boom that went bust, cut short by the Great Depression. Early-1940s expansion was temporarily put on hold for World War II, but by 1949, subdivisions began sprouting up in farm fields. The long-anticipated growth of Northbrook had finally begun. New roads leading to Northbrook and the desire for suburban living caused the quaint 1950s community of 3,348 to grow to 11,635 residents a decade later. Today almost 35,000 people call Northbrook home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karie Angell Luc, Judith Joslyn Hughes, Northbrook Historical Society\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0738561789\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738561783\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 10\/20\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.40w x 0.40d","brand":"Karie Angell Luc","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925797765375,"sku":"9780738561783","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_1d24c686-886e-4d9e-a223-b0232a663a6e.jpg?v=1681079418","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/northbrook-karie-angell-luc-9780738561783","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
