Celebrate
Pop on your party hats. Mine's a pork pie, but you can get crunked up any way that makes you feel good. Our boy Greg picks the smoothest sounds for your summer listening, and everyone from Holden Arboretum to The Kent Stage to the Rock Hall have summer concert series kicking off. You can even tour the Detroit-Superior bridge (this weekend only!) now that Ingenuity has moved on.Larchmere hosts the Bazaar Bizarre, Euclid inaugurates a wind festival, Lakewood kicks off their Front Porch Concerts, and Akron invites you to Downtown@Dusk. Are you ready to celebrate?
Keep the party cranked day and night with our Cool Cleveland mobile app for your iPhone or Android. Because there's lots more where that came from. --Thomas Mulready

Once in a while you read a book and something within you changes. Maybe you gain a new perspective? Perhaps you learn something about a piece of history? Or, maybe it takes you on a journey that extends way beyond the story's end.
For me, Mark Winegardner's Crooked River Burning was that book...

We had dinner at Phnom Penh on Monday night, and then drank Koffie Cafe coffee outside at the Market Avenue Wine Bar until they closed.
John's eyes sparkled as he filled me in on his recent sabbatical to Arizona. We talked about the arrangement he finished, the older musician he spent mentoring time with, the college music program he investigated, the composition and pedagogy books he read, the joy of playing out a few times with some local cats, and how much he relished the peacefulness of porch sitting in the desert....

LETTER Impressed with the Dimora Interview
The Highway's Done... Phew! You believe this crap? These people are 100% FOS. They've had years to do ANYTHING and they haven't done jack! Ever find a "OneCommunity" wifi signal? Has it ever worked?...

ROLDO: Crain's, PD Delighted You Pay to Feed Wealthy Good points. Also, why should we subsidize these losers who, for 15 years or so, have been too inept to field a team which does not embarrass the city?...

Agreed! Joe Crea and 'reporter' should not be used in the same sentence. He has a problem checking facts and always looking for a hand-out...

Winning or losing is irrelevant. We shouldn't subsidize a winning team even more, because if you cannot make a profit without subsidy on a winning product, you have a bad business plan and deserve to fail...

MANSFIELD: Is This a Great System, or What? I agree with your comment about the church Mr. Frazier. I often wonder where all the good Christians and churches are when we wage war on another country killing thousands of civilians or when we march the next victim off to the death house...
