Sixty Years of Tradition at This Area Steakhouse

Saturday, January 21st, 2006

Sixty years in business, same family, same name, same destination. Do you know? If you said Ferris Steak House you would be right.

This restaurant holds a very fond place in my heart. Thirty two years ago when I moved to Cleveland to teach at West High School located on Franklin Avenue Ferris […]

Saturday, January 21st, 2006

Yesterday was really busy–0700 saw us at Theo’s for the very first gathering of the Brooklyn Business-to-Business Connect chapter, the 15th such group started in this area since May of 2005.

Wetlands, birds, and wildlife vanishing quickly in Ohio

Saturday, January 21st, 2006

Two of my neighbors have emailed me about a critical issue facing our state. Read more here. I have already mentioned it once a few days ago, but it deserves another mention. We are faced with allowing developers to again decide the road that we are traveling in Ohio. We need to sit down, […]

Warm and Crusty

Saturday, January 21st, 2006

Bread, I am talking bread here folks. If you wander the streets of Cleveland looking for loaves of “right out of the oven” bread with a chewy crust Caribe bakery is the place for you. I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in the door that not only is this a unique […]

What do you want to see in our daily newspaper?

Wednesday, January 18th, 2006

I have just read this, and this with comments and I walked away thinking I should be thankful that we finally have a pulitzer prize any pultizer prize, but I couldn’t help but wish that we had a second pulitzer prize for investigative reporting. Then as I often do I answered myself and said “yeah, […]

Wednesday, January 18th, 2006

Please support Meet the Bloggers by attending our first fundraiser at Pearl of the Orient. From what I’ve heard some of your favorite bloggers will be “celebrity” bartenders and there will be plenty of “good eats” for all of us attending the event.

Do You Know Where to Buy $.99 Steaks?

Monday, January 16th, 2006

I do, and we just did. Every Monday is $.99 Steak Nite at The Pearl Road Tavern & Eatery . Most Mondays you can find Tim and me there along with many of our neighbors and friends. We all know a great deal when we see one. Each steak costs […]

Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Today is not a day of words, but a day for reflection. May I suggest reading

The World Housein a quiet place without distraction.

And the lights go out in Cleveland, again and again and again

Sunday, January 15th, 2006

As I walked up to the door at Talkies yesterday, it looked awfully desolate for a Saturday morning. Imagine my surprise when the note on the door said “Power out, I will open as soon as it comes on”. I thought this situation sure complicates things. Meet the Bloggers was scheduled to begin at noon […]

Catch of the Day

Sunday, January 15th, 2006

Tim and I were in this Southeast neighborhood for a friend’s mother’s wake. Since we hadn’t been in the neighborhood for years, we decided to take a drive through the neighborhood on the back streets. For those of you who are not familiar with the area, Mill Creek Estates is on the northeastern […]
