Like Melissa Holbrook Pierson, I'm from Akron OH. And also like her, I'm repulsed by its paved homogeneous mall-culture. She, however, carries around much more nostalgia. This book is part pissed off rant against gentrification, part ode to a home lost, sweet and sappy. A quick read that leaves one enraged and saddened.
