ann arbor is overrated.

The Old West Side News profiles Larry Goldstein, editor of the anthology Writing Ann Arbor (which, among other things, contains “several pieces…[that] illustrate how repressive the McCarthy era felt” in A2):

A University of Michigan English professor, editor of the Michigan Quarterly Review, and a poet, Larry is better known in the OWS as the husband of Nancy Goldstein, long-time board member and watchdog on neighborhood issues such as noise, street parking, and parking structures.”

What, nothing about tall buildings, indoor furniture on porches or kids walking on the lawn? Anything goes with these bohemian writer types.
