Find something to celebrate this week in NEO: Chuck Klosterman’s alternative history of rock & roll at CCPL, Lakewood Earth & Food Community (LEAF)’s Harvest Fest, IngenuityFest’s exploration of “American Dreams,” the Flea Market at the Beachland that serves as a fundraiser for the exiled XCSB, the international fashion show at the Cleveland Cultural Gardens, Slow Roll Cleveland’s 500-strong bike ride through the East Side of Cleveland starting at Hough’s League Park, the Summit Metroparks’ program on Ohio’s state native fruit, the pawpaw.
CoolCleveland columnist C. Ellen Connally recounts the recent award received by the Cleveland Civil War Roundtable, advancing historical scholarship and public awareness of the American Civil War. And CoolCleveland editor Anastasia Pantsios remembers Dead Boy Cheetah Chrome who passed away earlier this month. We celebrate his memory and the legacy of punk rock that our region continues to honor. Cheers.
