Podcast appearances and mentions of Gordon Square

This upcoming year will undoubtedly bring substantial change to Cleveland's political landscape. A population decline in Cleveland spurred a redraw of ward maps, which were approved by Cleveland City Council in February, but not without controversy. Now there's a new 15-ward playing field, and two open seats following the announcement from long-time Council members Jenny Spencer and Kerry McCormack that they will not run for reelection. New candidates are already jumping into the race.rnrnMeanwhile, in the Mayor's office, the Bibb administration is working to ensure a second term come this November's election. What opportunities and challenges can Clevelanders expect from the City's new political landscape? Join us at the Happy Dog in Gordon Square for a reporter's roundtable, providing insight and analysis on Cleveland's new political ground.

When we think of restaurants our minds tend to go right to the food on our plates, but they are important ecosystems that contribute so much more. Restaurant owners Karen Small and Jillian (Jill) Davis created restaurants that became our favorites—Flying Fig in Ohio City, and Toast, in the Gordon Square district. Less talked about are how these successful destinations spurred neighborhood growth around them, contributed to tourism, and put Cleveland on the culinary map. Their joint venture, Pearl Street Wine Market and Cafe closed unexpectedly earlier this year prompting introspection about the last few, very hard years. Karen still owns the very successful Juneberry Table, but prioritizes time to be with family and travel. Jill practices law and is focused on spending time with the people who matter most. The theme of this episode? Life happens. Good friends help. This episode is presented in partnership with Edgewater Hospitality and Kate's Fish.

As October 31 approaches the majority of us are evaluating if we have enough candy for trick or treaters and planning the perfect pumpkin carve. Those of Mexican origin, here in the US and throughout Latin countries, are gearing up for Dia de los Muertos, a celebration that honors the deceased and welcomes them back home for a few special days each year. Veronica Tomaschek remains connected to her Mexican heritage and celebrates Day of the Dead with her family and has participated in the annual Die de los Muertos event in Gordon Square, presented by Cleveland Public Theatre and Dia de Muertos Ohio, which will be held on Nov. 2 this year (in 2024). Day of the Dead celebrations include an elaborate procession, costumed and painted figures representing La Catrina, sugar skulls, colorful decorations and music. In this episode Veronica shares her traditions including creating a memorial ofrenda (altar) and the foods that are part of the celebration. This episode is presented with support from Edgewater Hospitality and Kate's Fish.

Kit Kemp is an interior designer, the founder and creative director of Kit Kemp Design Studio and Firmdale Hotels. She's known for championing British art and craft and for her colourful, eclectic and much-imitated style.   The plaque she has chosen is at 46 Gordon Square, Bloomsbury and reads: "Vanessa Bell 1879-1961 Duncan Grant 1885-1978 artists lived and worked here". They were artists, but they were also linchpins of the group of intellectuals, writers and artists known as the Bloomsbury Set. We discussed the relationship between Bell and Grant, their place in the Bloomsbury Set and their creative partnership.   The Blue Plaque Pod is brought to you by Kassia St. Clair, author, cultural historian and commemorative plaque fancier. I would love to know what you think, whether you have a favourite plaque, or if there's someone you think would make a great guest. Get in touch at blueplaquepod.com. 

Put down your Timbits, and head to one of Banter's two locations for a pile of poutine! Banter recently reopened in Gordon Square and the combination bottle shop, sausage haus and poutinerie is the place to be for hearty fare inspired by the Quebecois (sometimes called the less dignified-sounding "Quebeckers." Plenty of research went into Banter, which also has a second take out shop at the Van Aken District. Owner Matt Stipe wants you to think about the poutine, which takes some liberties from the traditional brown gravy and curds variety, but he also takes great pride in being a wine and beer shop, with curated selections he chose himself. Trust me on this, the fries alone are worth the visit. But, considering that you can top them in a myriad of ways, with squeaky Ohio-made cheese curds, well you've got something close to paradise, friends. This episode is presented with support from Chef Douglas Katz. Partners include the Cleveland International Film Festival, April 3-13, 2024, and the Ashtabula County Visitors Bureau.

Wednesday, December 13, 2023: A Taylor Swift birthday celebration has taken over Brewnuts in Gordon Square with a huge line for themed treats and merchandise. Plus, we're following the case of what will happen to Igor the Shaker Heights police department K-9 as his former partner fights to adopt him out of a kennel.

We get it. Listening to our legislative branch debate a budget isn't the most exciting thing to do. But the municipal budget process here in Cleveland is an essential part of democratic governance, and directly impacts our communities. The budget determines how public funds are allocated to things like education, healthcare, and infrastructure. In the City of Cleveland, our elected officials and the Mayor negotiate a budget of nearly $2 billion dollars every year.rnrnSo what exactly is the City of Cleveland budget, and what is it not? Join the City Club at the Happy Dog in Gordon Square as City of Cleveland CFO Ahmed Abonamah, Ward 17 Councilman Charles Slife, and William Tarter, Jr. unpack what's in the municipal budget, discuss how it's drafted, and what you need to know and can do as engaged citizens.

I'll take the English version every time.

È in Oltrarno che Virginia - tra caffè (che adora, gli dei ci liberino dal tè), botteghe, mercati e antichi palazzi - soggiorna nell'aprile del 1904, quando per la prima volta è in Italia con Tessa, Adrian, Thoby e Gerald. In questo podcast giriamo tra le stanze dell'elegante Palace Hotel (che oggi non esiste più ma ospita la British library con una vista sull'Arno da lasciare senza fiato e far tremare i polsi e le vene), la dimora di Elizabeth Barrett Browning e del suo cane Flush, i soggiorni fiorentini di Queen Victoria e il rifugio del critico d'arte Bernard Berenson, che con Virginia è indirettamente imparentato. Tanto che, a pensarci bene, tra i boschi fiorentini e Gordon Square ci sono assai meno che sei gradi di separazione...Consigli di lettura:Chi volesse approfondire la biografia (e il carattere) di Bernard Berenson può farlo grazie al bellissimo volume di Rachel Cohen, “Bernard Berenson. Da Boston a Firenze”, Adelphi.Sulla presenza degli scrittori anglofoni a Firenze: P. Fantozzi, “Anglo-Toscana.

This is a different episode than I usually make. But, given that we will soon have an influx of visitors for the Cleveland International Film Festival and many other fantastic things happening here in the coming months, I decided to make an episode that highlights some of my favorite things...and those of some other Clevelanders in the hospitality biz. I was inspired to create this episode after creating my own "staycation" with the help of the Kimpton Schofield Hotel. I spent a dreamy 24 hours in downtown and saw the city in a new light. In this episode we meet some of the Kimpton team and hear about the hotel, restaurant and what they like to do when they're not taking care of guests. You'll hear from Illinois native Lindsay Smith, owner of Flight, a great little corner wine bar in Gordon Square, and Chef Doug Katz who grew up here and liked it SO much...he stayed. (Lucky for us!) So whether you are a local who doesn't get out as much as you might like, a visitor here for the first or fifth time, or someone thinking about making Cleveland your home, there is something for you here. Share with someone who might like this episode...it's the neighborly thing to do!

What is the future of Cleveland? And who will have access to contribute to its growth? It's clear the city is emerging as a tech hub, and rapidly growing its network of startup businesses and entrepreneurs. Yet, equitable access to capital and growth opportunities continues to lag, particularly in BIPOC communities, highlighting deficits in the tech and startup ecosystem. It begs us to ask what can be done differently to leverage the talent, grit, and passion of the next generation of all of Cleveland.rnrnFutureLAND believes taking a home-grown approach should be part of the solution. They view their work as not just a conference, but a movement driven by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs. They aim to make Cleveland a leading destination for founders of color looking to build their startups in an environment where they can thrive.rnrnJoin us at the Happy Dog in Cleveland's Gordon Square neighborhood as we hear how to transform Cleveland's innovation and tech ecosystem, and together, build Cleveland's future.

Every other year, the U.S. State Department hosts an open call for applicants to curate an exhibition to be presented at the U.S. Pavilion at the Venice Biennale Archittetura. It's a competitive process, featuring as many as 75 countries, and those selected are considered some of the best in the world. This year's exhibition will take place May 20 through November 26, 2023, and a proposal submitted by a small local nonprofit art gallery, SPACES was selected for the U.S. pavilion--thrusting Cleveland into the spotlight of international art and design.rnrnSPACES' theme Everlasting Plastics is rooted in an exploration of plastic as a single material with infinite forms. It aims to ignite a critical conversation about the ways that plastics both shape and erode contemporary ecologies and economies, while also suggesting possible alternatives for the ways in which plastics are used.rnrnJoin the City Club at the Happy Dog in Gordon Square for a panel conversation with the Gund Foundation's Jennifer Coleman on Everlasting Plastics, and Cleveland's prominence at the acclaimed Venice Biennale.

Generation Z, or "Gen Z" is roughly defined as somebody born between 1997 to 2012. And they are coming of age. In Florida, Maxwell Frost became the first Gen Z elected to Congress. And a recent analysis by the Center for American Progress uncovered that Gen Z is the "Most Pro-Union" generation--driving a wave of unionization across major corporations, nonprofits, and college campuses.rnrnExperts are now trying to understand Gen Z in the workforce, and are asking some of the same questions asked of Millennials just under 15 years ago: What are the most important factors that will attract and retain younger workers? And what can we expect to be shifted around workplace culture? Answering these questions, and more, is a panel of Gen Z voices, in conversation with Grace Heffernan with the Northeast Ohio Worker's Center.rnrnJoin us at the Happy Dog in Gordon Square as we are "Taken Over" by Gen Z, and learn straight from the source, how we can all best support the literal future of work.

"who gives a damn now anyway?"

The moment you meet Steve Baker you know he was born to teach. He's the COO and lead educator at Spice Field Kitchen, the nonprofit arm of Spice Hospitality Group, the innovative company that brought us memorable and engaging concepts including Spice in Gordon Square, Keep The Change Kitchen, Plated Landscape dinners and, coming soon, Boom's Pizza. Owner Ben Bebenroth and his family live on Spice Acres in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, and use this real life natural ecosystem to teach local agriculture to kids (and others) through Spice Field Kitchen, a 501(c)3 organization cultivating connection between nutrient-dense foods, sustainable agricultural practices and health and wellness. Steve creates engaging experiences with the land through immersive tours on the farm and in an outdoor classroom adjacent to a bountiful learning garden. Online, there are even more resources that educate and celebrate Ohio agriculture including Local Lessons for Growing Minds, an engaging curriculum to connect students with the source of healthy, nutrient-dense food. I talk to Steve about the farm tour experience, how kids react to immersion in nature and why lessons like this have huge impact the way kids think about their food choices.

Step back in time with us as Kate visits Charleston home of Vanessa Bell and important gathering place for the members of the Bloomsbury Group, that collection of writers and artists including Virginia Woolf that coalesced around Gordon Square in London. Undaunted by the ghosts of her relatives Nino Strachey, author of a new book, Young Bloomsbury, joins us to discuss the up-and-coming younger generation, such as writer Julia Strachey, sculptor Stephen Tomlin and photographer Cecil Beaton, who followed in their footsteps. Nino considers the interplay of creative inspiration that flowed between the generations, but also the spirit of tolerance and acceptance of different gender identities and chosen families that allowed these young creatives to flourish. Leave us a comment on our The Book Club Review website, where you'll also find more information on all the books mentioned, a transcript and our comments forum.

Surprisingly little has been written about second-generation Bloomsbury who tantalised the original 'Bloomsburies' at Gordon Square parties with their captivating looks and provocative ideas. Young Bloomsbury introduces us to an extraordinarily colourful cast of characters, including novelist and music critic Eddy Sackville-West, 'who wore elaborate make-up and dressed in satin and black velvet', sculptor Stephen Tomlin and writer Julia Strachey. Talented and productive, these larger-than-life figures had high-achieving professional lives and extremely complicated emotional lives. Bloomsbury had always celebrated sexual equality and freedom in private, but by the 1920s, self-expression was becoming more public, with cross-dressing Young Bloomsbury giving Old Bloomsbury a new voice in a chosen family of a shared rebellion against pre-war conventions.

The Presidential power to nominate a Supreme Court justice and Senate's power to confirm that nomination is one of the pillars of our country's checks-and-balances system. Yet, the politics and tensions over this process has escalated over recent years. The sudden death of Antonin Scalia in early 2016 led to a successful effort to block Obama's nominee, Merrick Garland-setting up a fierce debate over a political "lame duck" period of presidential nominations to the Supreme Court.rnrnThen just 46 days before the 2020 Presidential Election, tensions further escalated during an expedited process to confirm Justice Amy Coney Barrett after the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.rnrnNow, Justice Stephen Breyer has announced his retirement and President Joe Biden fulfilled a campaign promise to nominate a woman of color to the nation's highest court. If confirmed, Ketanji Brown Jackson would become the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court--adding yet another layer to the debate during a time when race and equity efforts are facing increasing attacks.rnrnWhat obstacles and opportunities does the Biden Administration face to confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson? And what is the future of Supreme Court and its influence in this era of politics?rnrnJoin us in-person at the Happy Dog in Gordon Square as we learn from local experts on what is at stake with the upcoming Supreme Court confirmation.

To celebrate Women's History Month, I'm highlighting favorite real and fictional badasses. Warning: I mention the word badass many, many times in this episode. Clearly I love me a bit of badassery. Women worthy of official biographies and iconoclastic female characters in historical romances all provide ready-made inspiration. I need as much of that as I can get.https://www.confessionsofaclosetromantic.com Virginia Woolf's house on Gordon Square (4th picture in right sidebar).  She had many gatherings of the Bloomsbury Group in that house. See the windows with the balcony in front? I sat in that room as an inaugural student in the Gender Studies program at University of London. One of my favorite memories ever.Mariah mentioned the gender non-conforming writer and performance artist Alok Vaid-Menon BooksFor me there is nothing like reading about someone's life through their diaries. Virginia Woolf was a dedicated diarist who documented the fascinating people, work and relationships that filled her days in the early 20th century.She was also a talented essayist. A Room of One's Own is a groundbreaking, feminist classic.A Week to Be Wicked is Book 2 in the witty, smart, sexy, sizzling hot Spindle Cove series by Tessa Dare.Mariah and I talked about Brazen and the Beast, Book 2 in the Barenuckle Bastards series by Sarah MacLean.I read from At His Lady's Command by Nicola Davidson, part of the Surrey Sexual Freedom Society novella series. It's one of the hottest historical romances I've ever read. Movies/TV ShowsOrlando is visually sumptuous and totally intriguing, as is the Virginia Woolf novel it's based on.

According to John Mitterholzer's calculations, if Ohio were its own country, we would be the 26th largest greenhouse gas emitter on Earth. As Ohio's only delegate from the civil society sector to attend the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Scotland last November, this statistic was top of John's mind.rnrnIn the last several years, Lake Erie has experienced destructive and toxic algae blooms, shutting down municipal water systems for major Ohio cities--putting both marine life and humans at risk. Microplastics are invading our food chains. Unseasonable, and more intense storms are battering Ohio towns. John notes that the world must see a 40% or greater reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 to avoid triggering catastrophic climate change.rnrnWhat does Ohio need to do to step up to address these challenges? And what is Ohio's role in the global fight?rnrnJohn Mitterholzer is the George Gund Foundation's program director for Climate and Environmental Justice, the current co-chair of the Climate and Energy Funders Group, and an active member of the Environmental Grantmakers Association. Join us in-person at the Happy Dog in Gordon Square as we discuss his experiences at COP26 and what opportunities and challenges are ahead for Ohio to become carbon free.

In early 2020, Cleveland was ranked last as a livable city for Black Women. In response, ChiChi Nkemere and Bethany Studenic, co-founders of Enlightened Solutions sought out listen to the voices of Black women in Cleveland. They received 450 survey responses, and through data analysis, confirmed what many Black women have felt for generations in the workplace, in healthcare, and in education: Cleveland is failing Black women.rnrnIn a city and county that just last summer declared racism a public health crisis, these findings have reignited a long-standing conversation about systemic racism and structural barriers Black women face in this city.rnrnJoin us at The Happy Dog in Gordon Square at 7:30pm as we hear from the writers of Project Noir and other stakeholders on how we can better support Black women in our communities.

On November 2nd, Cleveland voters will have chosen a new mayor for the first time in 16 years. There have been months of dialogue, discussion, and debate on the nuances of each candidate's platform. We've heard what they believe are the solutions to the many problems facing Clevelanders--issues like infant mortality, the lead crisis, criminal justice reform, public education, and more.rnrnBut what if we could peek inside the next mayor's inbox? What would his first emails be about? What immediate challenges and opportunities will he be-or should be-tackling out of the gate?rnrnJoin us, for our celebrated return to the Happy Dog in Gordon Square as we hear local leaders discuss the priorities for the first 100 days of our new Mayor of Cleveland.

Ben Bebenroth is a respected chef, restaurant owner, farmer and businessman who has reemerged from the pandemic with a new vision for his life and restaurant. After closing Spice, his flagship restaurant in Gordon Square, Ben took some time to reevaluate what he wanted out of life for himself, his family and his legion of customers and fans. In addition to being one of Cleveland's most beloved and respected chefs, his farm-to-table restaurant Spice, and his family farm Spice Acres, have been featured in national media including CBS This Morning, the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. It was, by all accounts, a success story. But as the needs and desires of the community changed, and the tenuous economics of restaurant operations became more pronounced, Ben knew he needed to make some pivotal changes. Ben offers insight into the thought processes that prompted a revolution in the way he does business, and shares the realities of running a truly authentic farm-to-table restaurant and catering company.

Liliana Rampello"Virginia Woolf. Tracce di vita"Circolo dei Lettorihttps://torino.circololettori.it/virginia-woolf-tracce-di-vita-2/https://www.itvws.it/Circolo dei Lettori, Torino"Virginia Woolf. Tracce di vita"a cura di Francesca Bolino e Italian Virginia Woolf SocietyIl ciclo di incontri propone un itinerario che attraversa la scrittura di Virginia Woolf seguendo tre diverse invenzioni temporali: ricordo, memoria e tempo dell'accadere. Questo tempo, «tutto suo», si incardina su registri diversi, ma sempre segnati da un'idea originale della possibile rappresentazione della vita.#1MOMENTI DI ESSERE: IL RICORDOInseguire il tempo non è mai semplicecon Liliana RampelloIn un catalogo di immagini che fa affiorare memorie familiari e l'incanto dell'infanzia, la scrittrice insegue il tempo, ben sapendo che il rapporto fra passato e presente non è mai docile. Una scrittura che accoglie toni e registri diversi, dal ritratto all'elegia, dall'autoanalisi alla commedia sociale, dal gioco sullo snobismo fino ad acutissime riflessioni sulla morte.disponibile da martedì 10 novembre h 18 su Facebook e Youtube#2DIARIO DI UNA SCRITTRICE: LA MEMORIA FUTURAQuando il presente è già passatocon Elisa BolchiIn 38 quaderni manoscritti, Virginia Woolf prova a teorizzare le sue scoperte e il suo metodo rivolgendosi spesso a una se stessa del futuro. I diari diventano così un lavoro sul presente osservato già come passato da una prospettiva futura, che le permette di esercitarsi, «fare le scale» e «sciogliere i legamenti» della scrittura delle opere da pubblicare.disponibile da martedì 24 novembre h 18 su Facebook e Youtube #3AL FARO: IL VARCO DEL TEMPODieci anni in due giornicon Sara SullamIl ricordo di una giornata di tarda estate nella casa di villeggiatura della famiglia Ramsay alle isole Ebridi, poco prima della Grande Guerra, attraversa il varco del tempo e le fratture insanabili del conflitto, restituendo un ritratto di famiglia cadenzato sui toni di un'elegia mai nostalgica, che insedia nel presente un punto di vista femminile tutto nuovo.disponibile da martedì 8 dicembre h 18 su Facebook e Youtube 'Italian Virginia Woolf Society'L'Associazione culturale 'Italian Virginia Woolf Society' nasce con l'intento di promuovere e incoraggiare la conoscenza e lo studio, in Italia, della scrittrice Virginia Woolf. Vogliamo condividere con il maggior numero possibile di donne e di uomini, giovani ragazze e giovani ragazzi, gli ideali estetici e di vita che hanno caratterizzato la sua opera e il suo pensiero, con una particolare attenzione all'impatto che la sua figura di donna artista, scrittrice e intellettuale ha avuto, e ancora ha, nel pensiero. Vogliamo anche diventare un punto di riferimento, fisico e virtuale, per tutti coloro i quali vogliano avvicinarsi a Virginia Woolf o a membri del Bloomsbury group, per motivi di studio, di lavoro, o per puro interesse personale.Liliana Rampello"Momenti di essere"Scritti autobiograficiPonte alle Graziehttp://www.ponteallegrazie.it/scheda.asp?editore=Ponte%20alle%20Grazie&idlibro=9645&titolo=Momenti+di+essereRaccolte e pubblicate postume, queste pagine autobiografiche scritte fra il 1907 e il 1940 offrono uno squarcio straordinariamente vivido sulla vita e sull'opera di Virginia Woolf. Il catalogo di immagini che Momenti di essere fa scorrere dinanzi ai nostri occhi mostra lo splendore di una scrittura che fa affiorare i tanti ricordi familiari e l'incanto dell'infanzia, che accoglie toni e registri diversi, dal ritratto all'elegia, dall'autoanalisi alla commedia sociale, dal gioco sullo snobismo fino alle riflessioni sulla morte. In questo teatro della memoria l'autrice insegue il tempo, ben sapendo che il rapporto fra passato e presente non è mai docile e che i momenti di essere, in cui la forza della visione buca l'ovatta trasparente del quotidiano, le rivelano «la parte invisibile e tacita della sua vita» in tutta la sua verità. La voce di una scrittrice indimenticabile torna in libreria con un capolavoro da troppo tempo assente, arricchito con una parte inedita, e le sue pagine ci accompagnano dall'ipocrisia vittoriana alla scoppiettante gioia che invade la casa di Gordon Square, a Bloomsbury, che non sarà più solo il nome di un quartiere, ma di quel gruppo di giovani intellettuali che rivoluzionerà, con intelligenza e divertimento, i costumi di un'intera epoca.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

The manor is a house venue in Gordon Square that puts on shows the last Friday or Saturday of every month, usually. The fest was an incredibly successful and heroic effort on the part of its producers, Michael McFarland, Amanda Nyx, Cassie Bishop, and Mikey Silas. Apologies to Blindside Avenue for recording diffculties, and to Noon and Daniel J two performers who I didn't get the recorder set up in time for on Saturday.

"Cleveland Bites" --Doug Trattner, restaurant critic from 'Scene Magazine', reviews the new Ninja City in Gordon Square and gives us a first look at Lindy's Lake House in Beachwood.

For our 32nd episode, we got a lot to unpack as far as Cleveland sports are concerned, so we calmed our nerves with the delicious Holiday Donut Cookie holiday ale from Platform Beer Co. We began the episode with a season-appropriate discussion on when it’s ok to start listening to Christmas music. This chat was inspired by our LOTL Poll of the Week, where we asked y’all if you think it’s ok to listen to Christmas music the day after Halloween. We got interesting results… After that we discuss our top five favorite TV shows of all time. The LOTL boys had some interesting favorites and some expected favorites, and they had trouble narrowing down just five, so honorable mentions made their way into the discussion. Once we wrapped up the Poll of the Week and the Top Five, we got into the sad stuff, which includes the the firing of Hue Jackson and Ty Lue. LOTL dissects the firings, of which neither were surprising. However, Hue’s been running his mouth already, so Dan had some words to say about that. Also, the Cavs front office doesn’t seem to know what it’s doing, especially with JR’s latest revelation that he was told he wouldn’t be playing much. Now there are trade rumors, Kevin Love is out for a month with a foot injury, and well, it’s a mess. On a more positive note, we review Great Lake’s First Pour of Christmas Ale event, and Dan reviews the new Wild Eagle Saloon in Brecksville. We wrap up with reviews of a Dia de los Muertos parade in Gordon Square and a downtown holiday kick off extravaganza, Winterfest. As always, thank you for listening to our podcast, and follow us on social media at @thelotlpodcast (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram). EVENT PREVIEWS: Dia De Los Muertos Parade: Nov. 3 (Detroit Shoreway/Gordon Square) *Free *Event begins at 11 a.m. *Booths, vendors, bar and restaurant specials *Skulls and Skeleton parade begins 3:30 p.m. *More information here Winterfest: Nov. 24 (Downtown) *Downtown festival to kick off the holiday *Various activities, including concerts, performances, food trucks, fireworks, horse-drawn carriages, and more. *Christmas tree lighting ceremony activities begins at 6 p.m.

Welcome back to LOTL! It’s episode 15! LOTL kicks things off with another conversation about LeBron’s future. Where will he go? Is he going? Most people seem to agree it’s LA or CLE, so how does Kawhi’s announcement that he wants to be traded to LA play in this? We also discuss the NBA draft and who the Cavs should pick up...or trade... Then LOTL moves onto the Tribe, who have been heating up more and more each week. Dan also reviews a game he attended recently. Once the dust from the sportstalk settles, we move on to reviews. Could it be that the best patio in Cleveland is located at Forest City Brewery? Jordan will give you his two cents on that. The boys then review Nunzios, a classic Cleveland pizzeria. Finally, Jordan reviews a swanky marketplace in Gordon Square…and he might have some controversial opinions on it. Finally, LOTL updates y’all on the latest activities and events, which includes The Cleveland Pizza Fest, Strongsville Rib Burn-Off, Taste of Tremont and some updates on fireworks shows. As always, thank you for listening!

It’s the 11th episode! Whoo! (10:25) We start the episode off with a linguistic debate: how do you pronounce “milk?” Apparently some people pronounce it “melk”...hmmm… (17:00) Once the dust settles from that, we hop right into Tribe talk. It’s been a while since we talked about the Indians, so we assess the first quarter of the season and discuss the upcoming series against the Astros (rumor has it one of the LOTL members is a Houston fan). (31:20)We then transition into the Cavs, who now face elimination in the Eastern Conference Finals against Boston. What needs to change for them? Does LeBron have any tricks up his sleeve? What is going on with Tyron Lue’s coaching decisions? (46:15) Next up, reviews! We debut a new review format: for the time being, we’ll be covering a pizza joint, a brewery, and any place with an outdoor patio. In this episode we review Il Rione, a pizzeria in Gordon Square, Platform Brewery (Ohio City), and Prosperity Social Club in Tremont (it’s got a patio!). (1:22:00) We wrap up with previews of weekend festivals. Up this week: Greek Festival (Tremont; May 25-28) http://www.tremontgreekfest.com/, Berea’s National Rib Cook Off (Berea; May 25-28): http://berearib.com/, and Catch Meaning Festival (Rock & Roll HOF; May 27) https://www.rockhall.com/catchmeaning18.
