As The Seasons Change, So Does Denison Avenue

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

So the phrase is usually Spring Forward, Fall Back but down at the Ugly Broad Tavern things are moving forward. New items have been added to the menu and other upcoming events should mean a trip down Denison to join in the fun.

First of all, Dean has moved from behind the bar into the kitchen. […]

Great News! Walk+Roll Cleveland Is a Go!

Thursday, August 2nd, 2007

When I walked in the door just now from gathering signatures for the referendum, this email from Lois Moss was in my inbox asking me to promote this Sunday’s Walk+Roll Cleveland event. It appears as an outreach to the community they are asking for musicians and artists and others to participate in this […]

WOW! The Ingenuity Crew Does “IT” Again!

Friday, July 20th, 2007

What a show!  The Drums drumming down Euclid Avenue led by Marcos Santos were incredible.  Who knew that those drummers would exorcise the “rain demon” that plagued last year’s festival.  A whirlwind flew down Euclid Avenue accompanied by its own drummers of pelting rain.  Canopies flew and people ran but it was gone as quickly as it […]

just like downtown

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

What do a librarian, a magician and a Broadway playwright have in common? They all lived in Cleveland and they’re all featured in this year’s Brooklyn Centre Garden Party—“Magic, Mystery, and Millionaires.” Come and see famous characters in Cleveland’s past portrayed by costumed narrators. Stroll through the grounds and see who’s who in our history. […]

Lest We Forget

Saturday, May 26th, 2007

Each year one of our neighbors, Rick Nicholson, gathers a group of us from the neighborhood together at a small burial ground to commemorate Memorial Day. Amid the hubbub of all of the weekend activities we gather together in this small unobtrusive graveyard surrounded by war veterans dating back as far as the Revoltionary […]

Why Should We Celebrate Living In Cleveland…

Friday, January 19th, 2007

Because just as one art show ends, another begins.

BEGINNING:

My first encounter with the art of Thomas Frontini was at Convivium33 in 2005. Alenca Banco opened the gallery with a show by this talented artist.  I just received a postcard announcing a new show of this wonderfully creative artist called Side by Side at  MOCA Cleveland.  The Public Opening is Friday, January […]

Tonight’s the Night

Thursday, September 7th, 2006

I know that song won’t be played tonight at our event in the Tower Press Building because my partner George Nemeth is in charge of music, and he tells me  often that the music of the ’70’s isn’t music.  I tell him that this is just one of those things that we will have to agree to disagree although […]

Way Cool!

Friday, August 25th, 2006

Have I just labeled myself a nerd?  Have I dated myself?  Frankly, I don’t care.  I just found something out that I didn’t know, and the first words that popped into my mind to describe it were “WAY COOL” .  In my capacity of main scheduler for Meet.The.Bloggers I am looking for a place in Grandview Heights […]

Backache plus Reflexology equal Relief

Saturday, August 19th, 2006

I apologize for the radio silence on my blog for the past week but for most of that time I have been experiencing excruciating back pain.  Once or twice a year, I throw my back out and I am down for the count for at least two weeks. 

This year I experienced something new and am […]

Another addition to: local business for local consumption

Friday, August 11th, 2006

Just got back from Lake Shore Feed and Seed located at  5112 Clark Avenue which is family-owned and operated.  When I was a kid,  Saturday morning was spent doing the weekly errands with my dad.  One of our stops was the local Gold Star Feed Store which had everything you could imagine for pets and farm […]
