If my love for Cleveland Indians Snow Days was any indication, I am very fond of winter. While it’s not my favorite season (Fall holds that title), I like it a lot more than allergy-ridden Spring. However, with all the snow and ice this past week, there have been moments…
Lately I’ve been trying to discover more about the Cleveland blogging community. One of the blogs I’ve enjoyed reading is Cleveland Food and Brews, which focuses on how it’s not just wine that can complement a good meal, but also a nice well-crafted beer. When there’s a particularly complementary…
I love classic movies. I attribute a lot of this to my parents … most of my childhood was spent listening to ‘oldies’ and watching older movies and reruns of tv shows with them. I was the kid in high school who wrote essays on the Marx Brothers and film…
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.

As 52 Weeks of Cleveland recently put it, it’s a diamond dazzling in the blue-collar-rock-and-roll grit that makes this city great, sticking out ‘not like a sore thumb…
… 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…
As mentioned in my last post about the Great Lakes Theatre Festival, one of the things I love about Cleveland is the quality of the performing arts that can be found here. However, the city also demonstrates excellence in other areas besides theatre. It not only hosts the world-famous Cleveland Orchestra, but is also home to a…
