True Story
Every word of it. I used to idolize James Joyce. He wrote fiction that was more real than real. (Is he overrated?) Now I write, more than I ever dreamed possible. And every word of it is true.78th Street Studios is real. And when Hedge Gallery’s new show, True Story opens this Fri, Lucky the Painproof Man will be in attendance, as will many of the subjects on the walls. All true.
Are you in on the Kickstarter that’s funding CLE’s Tim Hayes and his Splash Infuser? Believe it or not, we are. Are you up on the next frontier in urban farming? Join us at the grand opening of Mansfield Frazier’s BioCellar project at his Vineyards of Chateau Hough for a truly inspiring good time.
Hard to believe, but the new Happy Dog at the Euclid Tavern is open, and Uno Lady will tell a few tales, some of which will be true. The Hauntaquarium is open, TEDxUrsuline is happening, the Akron Mini-Maker Faire is building, and In Training is back at Now That’s Class. I’ll be MCing the Beck Center’s Spotlight pARTy to raise money for art scholarships. Truth. –Thomas Mulready

We waited this long — a year and a half — for Mason’s Creamery to open in Ohio City. And it finally opened last week to serve its handmade, small-batch ice cream from a permanent location. So don’t say it’s too cold for a cone. With flavors like pumpkin and caramel apple, and Christmas flavors on the way, it’s always ice cream season.
