While I enjoyed this glimpse into the past of a city I hold dear, I felt there were too many omissions. Few of the city's educational institutions were included in the pages. None of the famed chili restaurants which had their starts in the decades included were represented. Houses of worship were underrepresented. While I know one work this size cannot contain everything, I felt some things which should be included were not.
