New Englands charms

I purchased this for dad, who at 89 , gets so excited when he hears that "Main Streets and Back Roads" is the next show on Chronicle. As a New Englander, I find it offers a fresh look at known, and unknown treasures in my own back yard, and often, an amusing look at us Yankees. You'll find quaint dining, day trips, and breath taking views. This book would also be a good start to your first trip to New England. 7:30pm on WCVB / Boston is an institution here. If you're in town, tune in after your busy day.

Fantastic!

I have been a fan of the show "Chronicle" for almost 15 years. Throughout those years, "Chronicle" has never let me down. It continues to be a wonderful inside look at different places all over New England. And now, there's a book! "Main Streets and Back Roads" showcases some of the stories with pictures and descriptions. Although nothing is as dear to my heart as "Chronicle," the book is a pretty good second. Anyone interested in quirky characters and unusual stories should pick this one up and try the show itself, channel 5 (New England) at 7:30 weeknights.

Yeah!

I'm so excited about the new Chronicle book. Try it, it's a great way to learn more about main streets and back roads. Plus, it will be a great holiday gift.

A treat for fans of Chronicle

"Main Streets and Back Roads" is a collection of stories of New England towns from the award-winning TV show Chronicle, which is on Monday thru Friday, Boston's channel 5, 7:30 PM. It summarizes each 'Main Street and Back Roads' show on Chronicle, complete with pictures of the towns. This is a great book for fans of the show Chronicle or people who like to learn about new places. I recommend this book to anyone, especially as a holiday gift in the approaching months. Try it!
