Trace Althoff on Managing Taverns from A to Z

Trace Althoff

Trace Althoff

by Rich Weiss

Trace Althoff has one of the coolest jobs in Cleveland. He manages five of the hippest new wave of bar/restaurants popping up in neighborhoods all over the city, including the well-known ABC Tavern and XYZ the Tavern, for A to Z Taverns.  Althoff is a textbook case of brain drain to Chicago boomeranging back after over 10 years to turn into a textbook case of brain gain for Cleveland.

“I went to high school at St. Ignatius, so I’m a local Cleveland guy.  I lived in Chicago for just over a decade and then I came back.  My mother’s from Ohio City, we ended up settling in Parma, and I went to St. Charles grade school on Ridge Road and Snow Road,” said Althoff.  “My sister is now the Principal of Holy Name High School in Parma Heights; my younger sister used to teach at St. Charles, now a stay-at-home mom with two kids; and my brother is a Chicago police officer…so we kind of run the gamut with everything that we do.” Continue reading

Dark Silver II: 12X at Mastroianni Photography and Arts Opens on March 13

Dark Silver II 12X

 

by Steve Mastroianni

Dark Silver II: 12X is the second installment in the new series devoted to portraits made with traditional black & white film and processed in the darkroom. For the new set of portraits, a series of parameters were created to provide a framework for the portraits. Photographs were made in the studio with a twin lens reflex (TLR) medium format camera, under a similar lighting scheme utilizing continuous hot lights and a seamless backdrop, and each subject was limited to one roll of film (12 exposures). Then, an enlarged proof sheet was created in the darkroom from each roll of film, and each proof sheet is displayed as part of an installment of the entire set of portraits. As a result, each and every shot taken of each subject can be seen; nothing was edited out. Continue reading

In the past we’ve had spontaneous games of Pig Latin Bingo, Opera Bingo, Marilyn Bingo, etc. Interesting what people come up with… All Tremonsters should come and check it out. It’s fun.
