With my last two “fun in the Cleveland sun” giveaways, we’ve checked out upcoming concerts and gone to the beach. This next one is for the active Clevelander: I hide indoors during the winter. So once the sun starts shining and temperatures rise, I like to get outside as much…
Is it ever going to stop snowing? Who cares! Because Brite Winter is back. You can read my review of the 2011 Brite Winter Fest here, but in short this annual community-organized music and arts festival is one of the best reasons to brave snow, sleet and 10 degree weather in Cleveland. After the unprecedented success of last year’s…
As we know from last week’s news, a fire tore through Cleveland’s West Side Market in the early morning hours of last Wednesday.

In Moreland Hills, over 15 chefs will be hosting a tasting-style event […]
After the last week of snow, I think we are able to say that winter is finally here. And just in time for two events that aim to celebrate Cleveland’s snowy season: This Saturday from 5-10pm, Brite Winter Festival returns for its third year. The event originally started as the creators’ proactive, grassroots approach to stave off the brain drain they were seeing in Cleveland among…
A couple months ago at PlayhouseSquare’s Young Professionals Movie Night, I was happy to join my fellow Jump Back Ball co-chair Meredith in announcing the theme of this year’s Jump Back Ball: Jump Back Through the Looking Glass The planning has been amping up since then — as we recreate the whimsical world of…
