Exxopolis lights up PlayhouseSquare's International Children's Festival
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…
Clue Into Cleveland Blogs, the Food and Fitness Edition
Before we get to the latest edition of my Cleveland Blogs Round-Up, I have some news to share: A couple weeks ago, I had the pleasure of chatting about Cleveland on Mystery Meet’s Find Dining podcast and the recording is now up.

Tri-C JazzFest Review: Lionel Loueke Trio at MOCA Cleveland
I have a not-so-secret obsession when it comes to organizing things. I feel bad sometimes for Scott who has to put up with my unquenchable urge for lists, schedules and Google Docs (though he does admit he’d be lost without them). The funny thing is that I wasn’t always like this. My parents lovingly (and sometimes worriedly)…

Tri-C JazzFest Giveaway Winner
This week blew through like a tornado, both in speed and the devastation it left in its path. The pessimist in me had my faith in humanity shaken by what happened Monday, but reading about the first responders, everyone who ran to help during the bombing, the SWAT and police who searched for Tsarnaev, and the…
