Giveaway! L'Amour du Vin Wine and Food Event
After last weekend’s trip to the Put-in-Bay Island Wine Festival, I thought I’d be all wined out. Ha! What am i talking about? I could never be tired of wine.

A Day on Put-in-Bay at the Island Wine Festival
When I think about Put-in-Bay, thoughts of summertime come to mind – balmy weather and a cool breeze coming off the mirror-smooth lake. However, this past weekend I was surprised to learn how Lake Erie’s islands are also the perfect Fall escape when we visited for Put-in-Bay’s Island Wine Festival. We drove out to Catawba early Saturday morning and hopped on the Miller Ferry. The […]

And in Cleveland, the Capitol Theatre and surrounding restaurants in Gordon Square are Scott’s and my go-to.

Tremont's First Annual Steelyard Chef
Before Scott and I moved to Cleveland, we flew out one weekend to take a look at the city. We kept hearing about this place called Tremont from a couple of coworkers who used to live there. Unfortunately, this was before we owned our GPS and being a bit directionally challenged we couldn’t…
Upcoming Events for CLE's Young Professionals
When Greatist.com ranked Cleveland as the #7 best city for 20-Somethings, it cited the fact that we’re one of the best places for new college grads, filled with job openings (especially in manufacturing and engineering), and Draft Magazine’s Beertown, U.S.A. Another reason I’d add to this list: all of the opportunities available…
CLE Reads: Harvey Pekar's Cleveland
Growing up, I always looked forward to September because it meant one thing: back to school (I was am a nerd). And besides seeing my friends and picking out supplies, I loved going back to school because with the new year I got a new reading list for English class (even bigger nerd).…
