Jump Back Ball, Part 7: Today's the Day. Are You Ready?
In a couple hours, a year’s worth of planning comes together and Jump Back Ball 20 gets underway. Needless to say, I’ve been counting down the days over the last week as we got closer to today – making sure I had everything I needed, doublechecking I hadn’t lost my tickets, and…
Ohio Blogging Association at AMP 150
Last night was the February Meetup for the Ohio Blogging Association‘s Cleveland chapter. Alicia of Poise in Parma did an excellent job in selecting this month’s location — AMP 150, a restaurant that quickly gained recognition both in Cleveland and on the national stage since its opening a little over a year ago. Located…
Downtown Cleveland Restaurant Week Review – Chinato
As I mentioned in my last post, my first stop during Downtown Cleveland Alliance’s Restaurant Week was Chinato. Eight of us from work decided on Chinato after a long process of narrowing down the 40 options (which isn’t the easiest task with so many good ones to choose from). We headed down to E.…
Dining out with Downtown Cleveland Alliance's Restaurant Week
With Clevelanders having an Iron Chef and James Beard nominees and winners in their backyard (among numerous other accolades), there’s really no excuse to not have a good meal. And it’s about more than just the food, a lot of times it’s the experience of the restaurant that makes the evening – be it…
Cleveland Winters May Not Be Warm, But They're Looking Brite-r
From Sparx City Hop to IngenuityFestival, Clevelanders enjoy celebrating their city outdoors. Of course, most of these festivals happen when it’s warmer outside – the summer and fall see the bulk of them. When winter rolls around, it means it’s usually time to escape inside from the blustery cold. The…
Jump Back Ball, Part 6: A Passport to the Passport to Party Theme
With only one week until set up day for Jump Back Ball, saying it’s crunch time would be an understatement. Over the last month, members of Partners have met a couple times each week in the Hanna Building, putting together the decorations for the event. Since the first Shop Night…
It's Hard to Flee the Cleve (and why that's not a bad thing)
Scott and I drove out to Long Island this weekend for the wedding of a friend from La Salle University, our alma mater. It was a beautiful ceremony, an amazing reception and we got to catch up with friends we hadn’t seen since our own wedding. While we waited for…
A Journey Home in The Trip to Bountiful at Cleveland Play House
So much has been written about the concept of home and what it means to each person. For me, it’s a place where I feel both comfortable and challenged, and I’ve spent the last 10 or so years trying to find that place. I lived in other cities before…
The U. U. Players' Sylvia at First Unitarian Church of Cleveland
If you’ve followed Clue Into Cleveland for a while, you know I’m a theatre junkie. I love seeing and writing about productions at PlayhouseSquare, Cleveland Public Theatre, Great Lakes Theatre Festival, and Cleveland Play House. In fact, I’m looking forward to seeing The Trip to Bountiful tonight. However, in addition…
