On The Brink
This place hits the ground running in the fall season. Our friends the impresarios have been busy while some have been chilling this summer. They’ve got a lot to show for it. We’re on the brink of some big things.Ingenuity moves again, this time to the lakefront. When James Levin and I kicked it off in 2005 on Euclid & E. 4th, the only venues open were Pickwick & HOB. I wonder which other neighborhoods are on the brink.
The beloved Tremont Arts & Cultural Festival celebrates its 14th year on Lincoln Park, the Sparx City Hop connects you with four arts districts with free trolleys, and EcoWatch throws their rockingest Green Gala yet. Our mobile app will keep you just this side of the brink. –Thomas Mulready
