There is nothing more romantic than cooking for someone you love. Food is home, it is comfort and security, it is safety, it is care and it is also seduction and beauty, it is love.

Luke Purcell, brewmaster and part-owner of Collision Bend Brewing Company (1250 Old River Rd, The Flats), was already familiar with Tremont’s most prolific muralist, David Witzke, aka ‘The Sign Guy’ (IG: the_sign_guy_1972), from murals around Tremont and a fence mural Dave had painted at the Rocky River home of a couple of Luke’s close friends.
“That was in my head, and I came to work downtown one day, and Alina, a banquet manager here, had one of Dave’s keychains—a little bird—I was like, ‘I love that guy! My friends have it on their fence.’ That was when it struck Luke that a bird mural would work perfectly for Collision Bend’s local artist series (collaborating with and supporting and promoting local Cleveland artists and causes). Alina is a friend of Dave’s, and she was able to connect the artist with the brewmaster.

On Sunday, June 2, the congregation of the St. Theodosius Orthodox Christian Cathedral gathered for services on the grounds of St. Theodosius Cemetery, near the intersection of Biddulph Ave. and Ridge Rd. After the event-sized tent quickly filled to capacity, an overflow of parishioners stood outside the tent entrance holding umbrellas to shelter themselves from the rain.
“It reminded me of difficult moments when I was at the Cleveland Clinic as a chaplain and family would gather around the bed of their family member,” said Father Jan Cizmar, St. Theodosius Priest. “They could, of course, do nothing, but they want to be together as a family. You know these moments when you’re sitting and waiting to hear what the doctors will tell you. In our case, what structural engineers and professionals will tell us we’ll do with the church. We really can do nothing in this case. But we want to be together, support each other, and pray. God is the one who is in charge.”

Sweet Peet Mulch company is donating several yards of mulch to Lincoln Park, and we’re recruiting volunteers to help us spread it on the garden areas. The date and time is June 8 at 9am at the gazebo. We’re asking people who have wheelbarrows and shovels to bring those, too. People can come for as long as they are able—a few minutes or an hour.

The chilly, 45-degree Saturday night (the last night of Daylight Savings Time) came as a shock after being spoiled by the warm beginning to March, but that didn’t seem to deter a large turnout for the 2024 Towpath Trail Lantern Parade.
The annual event is produced by Canalway Partners, and according to their director of communications, Meghan Tinker Paynter, this year’s turnout was a record-breaker.
“This was our third year putting on this event, and we were so excited to see our largest crowd yet. We estimate that about 350 people walked along the trail with us this year,” said Meghan.
The group made for a spectacular sight as they illuminated their way with their handmade lanterns of all shapes and sizes at dusk, winding along the already beautifully lit Towpath Trail.

The National Weather Service forecasts lake effect snow will continue through today with Lake Effect Snow Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories where lesser snow amounts are expected. An intense band as of 5am has been sinking southward through NE OH/NW PA and rapidly dropped over 11 inches in Lake County per one of our snow spotters. Expect this to become multiple less intense bands through the morning and into the afternoon, but still capable of moderate to heavy snow at times and quick accumulations. Expect quickly deteriorating road conditions and very low visibilities at times. Snow is about to come ashore in Lorain County and western Cuyahoga County.
