    "Welcome to Cleveland," the Rabbi said jokingly, when I told her about my first week back in the city, and the reason I'd just moved to another apartment in my neighborhood on Cleveland's east side. When I looked out my front window on my first Sunday morning in town, I noticed that the kids next door, who had been chalking the pavement in their driveway the night before, had written "faggot ass Chancey" in mine.
