Thinkin mon, thinkin...If everyone loved Shakey Jake so much...

...perhaps there is a way to continue his spirit around Ann Arbor. The city COULD name the new school after him. Now, granted that's a longshot but hear Johnny out. A school where the name on the side means a love for Ann Arbor unequaled, someone who showed up in town and decided to make his mark here, a peaceful soul, a lover of music and song, and a beloved member of the community. We think that's reason enough. Of course Jake wasn't formally educated and that could be a reason not to put his name on a school, but then how about a park? A statue at Liberty and Main right on the corner would be nice. Maybe near the fairy door next to Selo Shevel. I saw him alot across the street at the Varsity barber shop too.

YCD is hearing a lot of sadness over Jake's passing, people want to do something. Maybe a man who loved Ann Arbor could be immortalized in a fine fashion whether it be a school named after him, a park in his name or a statue in his honor, someplace we could all go and have some more time with Shakey Jake.

YCD thinks a statue at Main and Liberty would be best....
