When it comes to Cleveland success stories, the tale behind Jakprints is one of my favorites (here’s an article I love from last year’s Cleveland Scene). From seeing the need fellow musicians had for printed materials to developing a company that Harvard called one of “the top 100 U.S. companies…
The thing that surprised me the most about running my first 5K in July was how much I enjoyed running. So after Run for the Pierogies, I decided I wanted to keep up with it and started asking around for other race recommendations. When Alicia told me she was going to celebrate her one-year anniversary of running with…
One of my favorite summer series – PlayhouseSquare’s Cinema at the Square – starts up tonight with King Kong. As much I enjoy spending the warm-weather months outdoors, sometimes I like escaping into the air conditioning, curling up in a theatre seat and getting engrossed in a movie. And when it’s a classic film —…
If you were to ask me what my favorite ‘Saturday morning’ activity is in Cleveland, I’d be hardpressed to pick just one. However, if I was really forced to, I would have to go with visiting Ohio City. The Westside Market is swarming with activity and in general the neighborhood is filled with great people-watching…
When I lived in Philly, I walked and took public transit a lot. For some reason, though, when I moved to Cleveland that changed. Whether it was the free parking at work or sheer laziness at not wanting to learn a new route, when I lived in Shaker Heights I never…
Last week, I posted about my first trip to Blossom Music Festival to see the Cleveland Orchestra. I don’t know what took me so long to get out to the summer concert hotspot, but Scott and I tried to make up for lost time by paying it a return visit this past weekend. In addition…
After Saturday’s 5K, this past weekend had another “first” for me. Fortunately, it was a much more leisurely kind of “first” – my first visit to Blossom Music Festival. On Sunday evening the Cleveland Orchestra had a “Meet the Musicians” night for media and bloggers followed by a concert of Bruckner’s…
When I woke up on Saturday, it felt like Christmas morning. However, the excitement and adrenaline weren’t for unwrapping presents under the tree. It was raceday – my first 5K. After Alicia at Poise in Parma announced that July 9th’s Ohio Blogging Meetup would be The Run for the Pierogies, it was the motivator I…
When I sat down to write this post I realized it’s been a few months since I blogged about a play (last time was my review of Cleveland Play House’s beautiful Legacy of Light). Thanks to a belated anniversary present from Scott, I’m remedying that situation today! As I mentioned when…
Although this weekend was partially about catching up on my to-do list, it was also time to celebrate the beautiful Cleveland summer we’ve been having and the Fourth of July. There is something to be said about Independence Day. Even for just a few days, we forget our disillusionment with current politics and celebrate the history we share and…
