It would be impossible for me to write just one post about the Cleveland Museum of Art and successfully cover all of its exhibitions and collections. Sure, there are volumes of books dedicated to this city treasure which are capable of doing it justice. However, if I tried fitting the entirety of the internationally celebrated museum in one entry, it’d be too…
The holidays are often a time to spotlight how organizations have given back to the community, so I wanted to post a quick kudos to the Burning River Roller Girls for the success of November’s Black and Blue Charity event. The BRRG recently announced that the final numbers are in and they were…
My friends know me well — or they at least read my blog — because they surprised me with an early Christmas present this past Saturday: 2 tickets to Conni’s Avant Garde Restaurant at Cleveland Public Theatre. Regardless of whether they took a hint from ‘All I Want for Cleve-mas,’ they stumped…
I’m back! Many thanks to Kate and Elizabeth for sharing their Cleveland experiences while I was out of town. If you missed it, check out Elizabeth’s post on the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage and Kate’s look at Bazaar Bizarre and the other handmade craft events in Cleveland — yet even more reasons to love this city. In…
The concept of shopping locally for hand made items has always been something Clevelanders can get behind. I have several (or at least one) memories of my own mom making eucalyptus wreaths and taking us all to a big church hall to run around and meet other women who were selling…
I have had the good intentions of visiting the Maltz Musuem of Jewish Heritage for a few years now but have just never made it a point to carve out time to do it. Amanda’s trip to Disney coincides with Chanukah and I thought it would be the perfect way…
With the holidays in full swing, I’m taking a vacation from blogging for two weeks so that I can unwind, catch up on things and do a little roadtripping. While I’m gone, two friends of Clue Into Cleveland will be guest blogging. Elizabeth Grepp returns to Clue Into Cleveland after sharing her…
When It’s A Wonderful Life premiered in 1946, it was a box office flop. Completely financed by Director Frank Capra and his Liberty Films studio for $3.8 million, its total run grossed only $3.3 million and resulted in the studio going bankrupt. However, much like George Bailey in the…
Clevelanders have to find some sort of enjoyment out of our winters — even if it’s somewhat begrudgingly — because our 5+ months of cold weather are fairly long and snowy. Be it sledding, snow ball fights, or just warming yourself by a fire, there are plenty of nice…
When it comes to giving and receiving gifts, I’ve always been partial to experiences rather than things. This not just comes from the pack rat tendency I’ve been working hard to shake, but also because I’ve found that the memories of an art class, day trip or nice night out on the…
