As far as I could tell it was popular, so, naturally, I had to see what all the hubbub was for myself.

Glamping

Rachel Mooney

Even the words of Henry David Thoreau couldn't lure some novice campers into the forest-draped hills for a relaxing weekend get-a-way.  With that being said, Americans have always loved the great outdoors and glamping, or "glamorous camping," offers a perfect solution.

Kent: May 3, 2013

Chad W. Lutz

43 Years ago something happened here that disrupted the foreseeable flow of time. Events born of war and civil unrest spurred the sleeping dragons of infamy and forever blotted tomorrow’s date with images we’ll never forget and a message that’s sure to last. May 4, 1970, almost seems too far removed to think it ever even happened, but it did.

CIFF 2013 Comes to a Close After Entertaining, Educating, and Challenging Minds

Hallie Witwer

During the last stretch of the 2013 Cleveland International Film Festival I was able to take in a wide array of films that made me laugh, cry and contemplate. The last week of the festival brought record breaking crowds and lasting memories for all who attended. Friday, April 12th was volunteer appreciation day, which gave the countless volunteers who make the festival the success it is the applause they deserve. With 8,334 volunteer hours logged, I think we can agree that the volunteers are truly the heart of the festival.

The Sum(mer) of its Parts

Cleveland

Matt MacDonald

Summer time is upon us! We have finally been granted a reprieve from the days when we are hermetically sealed in our homes in an effort to not freeze our asses off. The thirst to be outside and to be inhaling fresh air by the bucketful is thick in our throats.

A Question of Ethics

Matt MacDonald

I am a man that saw something happen that most people won’t see nor will they have happen to them. As a responsible adult and a responsible father I needed to draw the line and show my kids the difference between humans and animals.

No sympathy for the savage heart.

Climate Derange

Chad W. Lutz

It gets so bad sometimes that we greet the Vernal Equinox wearing, not shorts and t-shirts and sunglasses, but parkas, hoodies, hats and gloves.

Traditional Indian decor lines the walls and a soft and subtle air of tabla and sitar fill the dining areas. The restaurant provides seating for nearly 100 guests and prepares food faster than you can finish giving the waitress your order.
