One Potato Review

In this meticulously illustrated history, it takes two wars, two epidemics (one human, one botanic), depressions, fires, circuses and parades – it takes a considerable cross-section of American melodrama to outlast the magnificent elm that finally stopped growing three years ago in Madison Square Park in New York City. Yet there it still stands, a massive, indomitable husk, mercifully unlabeled, and every bit as impressive as all of the historically significant architecture which surrounds it. There’s even a Shake Shack at twenty paces. Stop and wonder.
