After work yesterday, Scott and I took a walk around downtown. Minus navigating around the extra traffic and almost getting hit by a truck, it was a lot of fun! We noticed things we’d never paid attention to before – like the personalized bricks at the entrance of the Palace…
If your Etsy addiction is as bad as mine or you’ve ever attended a Stitch ‘n Bitch, you probably noticed that ladies tend to dominate the crafting world. However, Mathias Noble King and Brit Charek, the founders of a new Cleveland craft show, are here to change that. The first-ever Manly Mart,…
While I’m out of town this week, I’m happy to have BEaLittleWeird and Bite Buff guest blog for me. In today’s post, Brian shares his recent visit to the Miller Nature Preserve in nearby Avon, Ohio. When Amanda asked me to submit a guest post for her blog I was a little surprised.…
With the expansion of the East Wing, the renovation of the 1916 galleries, and the addition of the beautiful Ames Atrium, the Cleveland Museum of Art has been elevated in recent years from a revered cultural institution to a work of art itself. To complement the stunning renovation, the Museum has also rolled out community programming…
Last night, Scott and I stepped off the streets of Cleveland into an alien world. I can’t do it justice, but what looked a little like Bowser’s Super Mario World Castle from the outside, on the inside was like walking through a series of gigantic balloons. If you were down…
In January, I blogged about coming up with my Cleveland “bucket list” for the year – new-to-me places or events I’ve wanted to, but haven’t yet explored. I’m glad to be able to cross one off my list in a couple weeks: the Tri-C Jazz Festival. What started in 1980 as…

From Good People and Much Ado… to next week’s War Horse, Scott and I have been spending a lot of time in theatre seats lately. And as impressive and enjoyable as all of these shows have been, sometimes you need a palate cleanser. Something that’s a bit off-the-wall, that you’re not really…
It’s a tall order to combine broad laughs, social commentary, and a melancholy, intimate, character-driven story. But Good People – currently onstage at Cleveland Play House’s Allen Theatre through April 14 – succeeds with a subtle mastery. When I was invited to attend Good People’s opening night last week, I was greeted by a “Welcome to South Boston” mural overlooking the back…
