{"product_id":"west-long-branch-revisited-9780738549033","title":"West Long Branch Revisited","description":"West Long Branch Revisited is the long awaited follow up volume to Helen-Chantal Pike s first pictorial narrative. Here she tells the stories of the well-landscaped properties, storied summer cottages, and families who gave the borough its distinctive country character. Nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the fertile farmland of New Jersey s coastal plain, West Long Branch has always had a town-and-country personality. It was tilled by the descendants of some of the original settlers into the early 20th century, and later it developed a distinct commercial hub and an industrial area. Concurrently, prosperous New Yorkers originally drawn to cosmopolitan Long Branch developed bucolic vacation homes in this small town. They created a vibrant community that can still be found today. Following World War II and the rise in post-secondary educational opportunities, various cottages were converted to classrooms as West Long Branch evolved into the town-and-gown community it is today.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/07\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738549033\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 127\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.22h x 6.54w x 0.35d","brand":"Helen-Chantal Pike","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41573819383989,"sku":"9780738549033","price":21.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_9d9cc812-3cfb-47ad-ad99-e41f65c7d341.jpg?v=1643685974","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/west-long-branch-revisited-9780738549033","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
