Detailed, mandala-like illustrations by artist Corina Sagun weave through the text. A new West Bank map by Minneapolis artist Kevin Cannon draws the reader further in to the neighborhood's streets and treasures.The interviews highlight West Bank friends and Cedar-Riverside residents, past and present, as they reflect on the community's changing landscape. Their stories affirm an essential truth about community: it's the people that make a place.
