It’s time for Clue Into Cleveland’s first giveaway — and what better way to kick it off than with a PlayhouseSquare Partners-related prize? As I blogged last Friday, the young professionals group at PlayhouseSquare is hosting our 2nd Annual Mini Golf Par-Tee on Tuesday, May 17th. From 5:30 – 8 pm, you can…
Cleveland.com and the Plain Dealer recently started a blog called Cleveland Remembers – where anyone in the community can submit their memories of Cleveland people, places and events.
