In my last post, I covered the Capitol Theatre and their ‘Classic Movie and Brunch’ series. However, the Capitol is just one venue in Cleveland where you can see classic movies on the big screen. Before the Capitol started their monthly series, there was PlayhouseSquare’s annual Cinema at the Square festival. …
If you’re hungry and downtown tomorrow, keep your eyes peeled for a truck with a crazy-looking octopus on the side. Dim and Den Sum will be stopping by WCPN 90.3 IdeaStream to serve up lunch. Dim and Den Sum is Cleveland’s first gourmet food truck and offers a delicious walk-up meal for under $10. Chefs…
Last week, I shared my opinion on the city’s unjustified adoration feeding LeBron James’ egotrip. Of course, on Thursday, we saw how the train went off the tracks with the self-aggrandizing, outlandish circus of his ESPN ‘Decision’ special. It was nothing more than a ludicrous publicity stunt which may have been a disappointing night for Cleveland, but was even more devastating for the perception of pro sports. Just to clarify, I…
… A look back at last weekend’s Parade the Circle, BRRG and Chef Jam 2010 … One of my goals when I started this blog was to highlight a variety of the places and events that can be found in Cleveland. And I hope that I’ve made some progress in…
Each month, the Cleveland Sketch Crawl provides artists, photographers, and sketching enthusiasts of all skill levels with the opportunity to get out in the city, learn about Cleveland and draw some really amazing stuff. The first Sketch Crawl I attended was in April at the Carnegie West Library. Unfortunately, due to…

I know that my last couple of posts have been focused on some of the theatre and music that can be experienced in Cleveland. I’ll be the first to admit that I have a soft spot for the arts, and am finishing up my next post which takes a look at John Lithgow’s performance of ‘Stories by Heart’ for the Great Lakes…
Before I moved to Cleveland, I worked for a couple of theatres in Philly. I enjoyed it a lot — working in subscriptions and marketing departments and working backstage on a show for a year. Even when I stopped being involved, I still loved experiencing Philly’s vibrant theatre community and the shows…
UPDATE: This post is from the 2010 Hidden Cleveland Tours. For more information about the Downtown Cleveland Alliance’s current series, check their site out here. Although living in Cleveland the last couple of years has helped me get a decent grasp on what the city has to offer, my awareness of just…
It was beautiful, sunny and warmish outside today so I walked down to Superior Ave. on my lunchbreak to check out Cleveland’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade. It started at 1pm and went to 4pm, so I only got to catch a few glimpses of it. But for the short time I was down there, it…
