Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Michael "Mike" Morrow survived his childhood, with all of its ups and downs, in a coming-of-age memoir set in 1950s and 60s Flint, Michigan. And,"Vehicle City" survived the rollicking thrills and spills of Mike and company. Take a lighthearted look back to a simpler time when black-and-white TV shows magically morphed into color, Mom's hot-buttered popcorn fresh from the kettle was always the best, and drive-in theatres were the mainstay of family entertainment-in more ways than one!During this bygone era of independence, free-range kids like Mike fearlessly explored their industrial hometown-with some exploits reaching local legend status! Visits to Grandpa's farm and the lake cabin up North saw Mike's posse chasing fun headlong into comical entanglements with numerous detours past parental discipline.Armed with a vivid imagination-and sometimes his trusty BB gun-Mike discovered that his flair for mischief was matched only by his creative problem-solving skills. Many unplanned heroic moments put his wit and wisdom to the test and highlight the importance of stepping up to help others.A strong work ethic and can-do attitude forged an entrepreneurial kid who cashed in on odd jobs and first employment opportunities. Having learned the value of a dollar through sweat equity, Mike cleverly parlayed his natural artistic talent into drafting and engineering as a career path.Through the unjaded eyes of one spirited young Michigander, we march along a timeline of memorable episodes, following him from mischief to leadership and, eventually, to his enlistment in the U. S. Army. "But that's another story.".…
