Review of Shaker Square

A personal wide angle lens of an essay. Shaker Square, a neighborhood in Cleveland, OH is in sharp focus. Judah brings us another autobiographical jaunt through a place he calls home. This essay, skews towards prose with a pace and a syncopation more like music. The writing is concise and colorful, filling in each corner of the neighorhood he paints. There is a brief mention of a John Kerry campaign office that is somewhat dating, but not for a while yet. The locale is definitely Ohio on the water, but applicable elsewhere. It's a good piece, but get it quick lest John Kerry becomes John Who in this our collective electoral archive.
