"The Baby Boomer's Guide To ROGERS CITY"

The book consists of stories and pictures of old Rogers City, it's businesses, and it's residents. The intent of the authors is best described by this quote from the back cover.

     "Many of the buildings that Rogers City's Baby Boomer generation grew up with are gone. A few burned, but most were demolished in the name of "progress." The largest number were torn down in the early 1970's as part of Rogers City "Urban Renewal Project." It claimed the massive Bertram Building, Krueger Hardware, Rog-Isle, Hasenburg's Market, Pat's Party Store, and the Wonder Bar, among others. How different downtown Rogers City would be today if Urban Renewal had actually concentrated on solving problems in America's urban areas and left small communities alone.
     Those of us who were here during the 1950's and 1960's remember most of those old buildings, and the businesses that occupied them. This book is intended to help preserve those memories."
