Met Johnny Michnay at The Current Year in Parma. Hinckley raised, Lorain based, he creates 3D “Spectrorealism” from discarded plastic. By day he fits high end eyewear, by night reshapes what others toss. First show: Westlake Porter Library. Great talking to the local Style icon.

Met Cleveland artist Clay Parker at Worthington Yards while he was talking with Liz Maugans about the upcoming Wild World show. Cincinnati born, Cleveland Institute of Art alum, and now a Lakewood resident, Parker’s bold black ink style grew out of Cleveland’s 90s punk scene.

If walls could talk, the Slovenian National Home basement would tell some of Cleveland’s best stories. Caught a photo of lifelong St. Clair/Superior neighborhood guy Jimmy Bitterman & Wanda Cooke Thanks to them both for agreeing to a photo at the Cleveland Kurentovanje.

Great meeting Ameen Khadair & Sabrina Quinones, owners of Pace Café, 2670 W. 14th St. in Tremont. Fresh, wellness focused menu with ethically sourced ingredients, house made bagels & cold pressed juices. Free parking, WiFi, catering & events. Built on coffee, health & community.

Chef Vinnie Cimino & Andrew Watts just opened ROSY in Ohio City, a 50 seat open fire spot built on seasonal ingredients sourced within 200 miles. Fire, community, CLE pride. Thanks to the pair for another bold step for Cleveland's food scene. More here: clevelandmagazine.com/articles/ros...

Great meeting Ken Kalous at The Tavern of Mayfield on Mayfield Rd. He’s been coming here since it was DiCillo’s Tavern, starting in 1969. A retired sales pro. A true local who knows the history and has put in the hours. Great talking with him.

Lou Reed Guess I'm Falling in love live YouTube video by Lund Peterson

velvet underground researchers have apparently confirmed that this audio from a random youtube user is genuinely the long-lost july '67 performance from upbeat, a cleveland teen tv show, doing the unreleased "guess i'm falling in love" complete with screaming girls. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GU2U...

You walk into Luca’s Pet Nutrition in Ohio City and feel how happy the staff is each time you visit. Owners Tony Rini & Jennifer Bowling built it from years of personal interactions with pets and owners. Open since 2022, the staff could not be kinder to anyone who walks in.

Ran into James Clardy after a mentoring workshop at Cleveland Public Library’s South Branch. I’ve known him since 2007, when he was a kid shelving books. Now Logistics & Circulation Manager, still steady, still smiling, still lifting others up. Grateful & proud to work with him.

I always enjoy stopping into Landmark Restaurant, 5380 St. Clair Ave. Cleveland. Great seeing Mary Mesic, 30+ years strong. Owner Lena Petros shared how her mom, Kalli Vagras, took over at 38 and built a neighborhood institution now thriving all these years later. Amazing spot.

Met the duo behind LoCLE Grown at Brite Winter. Jordan Laird and Jordan Urban, lifelong friends from Mentor, launched the Cleveland music podcast in 2019 to spotlight underground artists and the Northeast Ohio scene. Real conversations, live performances, real love for the city.

Superior Pho at 3030 Superior Ave. Cleveland has always been steady, but its legend grows. From Manh Nguyen’s patient Saigon pho to Chris & Claudine Nguyen taking over in 2022, every bowl, banh mi, and boba shows care, craft, and constant improvement. A legendary CLE Food Spot.

Sitting down with owner Stefan Was at Porco Lounge & Tiki Room, 2527 W. 25th St., was one of my most memorable interviews. He built something special there and credits his incredible staff for much of its success. A true believer in Cleveland & its stories. A true CLE Must Stop.

It is really great .

Since Jan. 2, 1980, B & G Tavern at 4150 Lorain Ave, Cleveland, OH 44113 has kept its doors open thanks to Benny Carmago, Venancio Carmago Jr. and Cynthia Camargo. No dress code. No ego. Just Ohio City history, resilience and a place Cleveland can always walk into.
