TEN CENT BEER NIGHT


BURN IT UP IN CLEVELAND

TAKE A SHOT ON CLEVELAND

ALL THINGS CLEVELAND - OPENING NOV 14


“ALL THINGS CLEVELAND”
curated by Dana L. Depew
A visual roast of this glorious city by Cleveland artists
If you cannot laugh at yourself, you cannot laugh at all. Just think
of the overwhelming cabbage smell of grandma’s house, the Big Chuck and Little John show on a black and white television with tinfoil on the antenna, etc.
The work exhibited is produced solely by Cleveland artists to emit that bleak perspective of a Clevelander. This exhibition will be a nostalgic trip down memory lane. The objective was to produce an exhibition that is a parody that promotes a self deprecating view of Cleveland by Clevelanders. The work will represent or depict Cleveland in some way, shape, or form. Think more of a less positive Harvey Pekarian viewpoint, burnt perogies, , the continual grief and despair we feel each and every day, the adverse effect our sports teams have on our mental state, our bleak and depressing outlook on life, etc, etc, all the good things.
The opening reception will be complete with a live polka style performance covering all the great Cleveland inspired hits like – Bernie, Bernie, Cleveland Rocks, The Heart of Rock n Roll, etc. Sauerkraut and kielbasa will be available and will be slow cooked overnight to give the gallery that special sensory smell we are all accustomed to being from Cleveland.
Opening Reception - Friday, Nov 14th., 6-10pm. Show runs through Dec. 6th

Tremont Farmers' Market,
Sunday Oct 26, 10-2

The last blast. The local food movement is exploding; we are a bit part of it, and proud to be. Join us for our last market of the season. In addition, take a moment and let us know what worked for you this year, and what didn't. Help us continue to make this a market you don't want to miss. Food, community, environment; we're all in this together.

The vendors:

Gather Round Farm/Plant Ally Herbs, Wonder City Farm, Suzannie Handknits, Patricia Supples, Morgan Farm, t. by Sarah, EcoVillage Produce, KC Coffee Co, and Skinny Pickles.

Ever heard of Chef Ricardo? Well, we certainly have. Come crowd around with the rest of us as Mr. Sandoval (owner/chef of Fat Cats, Lava Lounge, and Felice's Urban Café) patiently explains how he combines local and in season produce into a delicious sample.

Our musical feature, taken from their MySpace page: JP & The Chatfield Boys is an Ohio-based national act with variably deep Mid-Western roots and some serious talent. We couple highly charged original songs with forward thinking covers, while fusing traditional bluegrass with elements of Americana, Jam, Reggae and Modern-Folk. The bands' sound can seamlessly morph from classic Appalachian into fresh finger picking sound-scapes, and back again. There is an exuded sense of trust between the members on stage that tells the audience that this is where they all have longed to be. JP & The Chatfield Boys' energetic ability to cater to multi-generational crowds leaves both first time listeners and long time fans yearning for more.

*Mark Dorsey Fan Club to assemble at chairs in front of music tent*

It's been a blast

Meeting about Innerbelt and
Closing of W. 14th St. Ramp
Please try to attend a community meeting about the Innerbelt and the status of the W. 14th entrance ramp on Monday, October 27th, starting at 5:30 p.m. at OLA/St. Joseph Center, 2346 W 14th St.

TWDC has invited representatives from the Ohio Department of Transportation, Gov. Strickland's office, Senators Voinovich and Brown, Congressman Kucinich and Councilmen Cimperman and Santiago to a neighborhood forum to discuss the status of the Innerbelt in general and the W. 14th entrance ramp in particular.

The closure of the W. 14th ramp, as well as the rerouting of traffic off the Innerbelt through other entrance and exit closings, is having a negative impact on the quality of life in our neighborhood and our city. This is your chance to speak up, ask questions and demand to know the state's timeline to resolve ongoing Innerbelt issues!

If you have any questions, please call TWDC at 216/575-0920.
