Downtown tomorrow? Get Dim and Den Sum.
If you’re hungry and downtown tomorrow, keep your eyes peeled for a truck with a crazy-looking octopus on the side. Dim and Den Sum will be stopping by WCPN 90.3 IdeaStream to serve up lunch. Dim and Den Sum is Cleveland’s first gourmet food truck and offers a delicious walk-up meal for under $10. Chefs…
Summer Guests Equaled Short Hiatus – But Now I'm Back
Summer has not only brought a large assortment of events to check out, but also visitors to share them with. Over the last week, we hosted a few sets of guests and held our first party since moving into the house (it only took a year). With family and friends in town, we’ve had the opportunity…
If a LeBron Plays in the Q, and No One is There to Watch It …
… Does it Make a Sound? What boggled my mind the most about last Thursday’s ‘LeBron Show’ was how many people tuned in. Nearly 10 million U.S. viewers watched what has been considered a low point for journalism and pro sports. Although the majority of those who watched it were annoyed, we still contributed…
The Burning River Roller Girls – True Cleveland Sports Heroes
Last week, I shared my opinion on the city’s unjustified adoration feeding LeBron James’ egotrip. Of course, on Thursday, we saw how the train went off the tracks with the self-aggrandizing, outlandish circus of his ESPN ‘Decision’ special. It was nothing more than a ludicrous publicity stunt which may have been a disappointing night for Cleveland, but was even more devastating for the perception of pro sports. Just to clarify, I…
Cleveland: Much More Than a Player
Lately when I look out of my office window, I can see the fans lined up on E 9th St. where LeBron James is inside being courted during free agency. And when I’m walking downtown, I’m continually reminded of this spectacle by the various ‘Home’ and ‘More than a Player’…
Cedar Point: Summer on the Roller Coast
Although summer officially begins in late June, the season seems to start weeks and even months before the solstice. For some, summer starts the first time they dine on the patio of their favorite restaurant; for others, it’s when the neighborhood pool opens or they break out the grill for a barbeque.…
A Weekend Trifecta of CLE Arts, Eats and Roller Derby
… A look back at last weekend’s Parade the Circle, BRRG and Chef Jam 2010 … One of my goals when I started this blog was to highlight a variety of the places and events that can be found in Cleveland. And I hope that I’ve made some progress in…
With So Much To Do in The Cleve This Weekend, Thank God for DVR
If you’re looking for something to do this weekend (6/11 – 6/13), Cleveland’s definitely not lacking in options. Myself, I’ll be running around tomorrow and Sunday – hitting up Parade the Circle, the Burning River Roller Girls’ Semi-Finals, and Chef Jam. However, there are a variety of other things going…
Rare Birds, Polka Happy Hour and Hot Dogs This Friday
Although I’m looking forward to going on vacation, I’m disappointed that I’ll not only miss Saturday’s Sketch Crawl, but also the DJ Kishka Polka Happy Hour AND Rare Birds shows this Friday at The Happy Dog. The Happy Dog is worth a future blog post all its own for…
Cleveland Sketch Crawl 'Takes a Hike' This Saturday
Each month, the Cleveland Sketch Crawl provides artists, photographers, and sketching enthusiasts of all skill levels with the opportunity to get out in the city, learn about Cleveland and draw some really amazing stuff. The first Sketch Crawl I attended was in April at the Carnegie West Library. Unfortunately, due to…
