Holiday Hoops: My first Cleveland Cavaliers game
I am continually humbled by the loyalty of Cleveland sports fans. Raised on the Philadelphia Eagles, I would lament year after year when we would make it to the playoffs just to blow it at the last second (trust me, given the Eagles’ current record, the irony of that statement is…
Cleveland Public Theatre's Secret Social
Did you know a clandestine society makes its home on the shores of Lake Erie? The 12 and 12 believe that the Grimms’ tragic 12 Dancing Princesses wasn’t just a fairytale and work to reunite the princesses and their suitors. Oh yeah, and they throw really great parties. Earlier this week, Scott…
Cleveland Botanical Garden's Holiday Glow
Cleveland’s weather hasn’t been able to make up its mind lately – some days have been beautiful and warm (definitely not December weather). Others draped in fog.

Some articles have credited a perceived Cleveland aesthetic, calling it “rust belt chic” – hijacking a phrase Joyce Brabner coined in the 90s to…
Giveaway! A Christmas Story Leg Lamp Night at the Cavs
UPDATE: This giveaway ended on Dec. 2. Congratulations to the ticket winner BiteBuff. Growing up I had a love-hate relationship with A Christmas Story. The first time I watched it, I was traumatized by the angry Department Store Santa, the scene that would somehow be playing everytime I turned on…
12 Days of Cleveland – Thankful for Too Much To Do This Holiday Season
This Thanksgiving, there were many things to be thankful for. I’m lucky to have a pretty swell husband (understatement), fantastic parents and sister, friends and even in-laws (congrats Laura and Max on your engagement!). From work to home and in between, there’s not much to complain about. And even better, I get…

Cleveland Architecture Book Colors Outside the Lines
I know I said I had been planning to take the week off to work on transferring my blog. But when I got an email about today’s post I couldn’t hold off. While most of the local projects and events I blog about are geared towards adults, I’m a huge…
