With everything that’s going on around here, you’d be forgiven if you mistook the Forest City for some new Wonderland, sprung from the imagination of an exceptionally visionary artist.
Whether it’s Dobama gazing ahead to its 57th year or the Lakewood Car Kulture show looking back before 1972, a Rock-n-Wine party at Harpersfield Vineyard or the 150th anniversary of Lewis Carroll’s Wonderland, a creative play date at the Akron Art Museum or a rooftop dinner at the Music Box, if you can dream it, this town’s got it.
Hors d’ouerves in the Eastman Reading Garden sounds about right, or maybe some painted rain barrels. Learn about faith & feminism, or take a walking tour of the Circle. Maybe it’s time for a Marsalis on the trombone at Blu Jazz in Akron. Is it time for politics already? C. Ellen Connally analyzes the big race, and I’ve been arguing with Mansfield all week. As usual, he wins. Little wonder. — Thomas Mulready
