Hey I came across your blog while I was googling something. Small world, but I'm a '02 UD grad (MKT) too. I'm orignially from the Cleveland area and I lived in the Warehouse District for two years (Worthington Square-St.Clair Ave). I loved it down there! I now live in Charlotte, NC and am enjoying the warmer weather :) I'll have to check your blog out from time to time to read what's going on in Cleveland. Thanks!

HELLO hello **waves** to all of ya Clevelanders! I'm from this town as well :)!
ReplyDeletehey homie i googled and got your blog. it's neat, but help a brutha out!?!?
ReplyDeletewhere can i get me a "ny's the big apple but cleveland's a plum" tee shirt?
if you know maybe you could link it on your homepage?
if you dont anyone can you please do me a solid? -- i've been looking for somebody to remake that tee for years. thx.
For a "Cleveland's A Plum" t-shirt, you might want to try checking out a store called Big Fun in Coventry. Big Fun is an old-school toy store and if you can't find the t-shirt you can probably find the Transformers or Star Wars action figures that your mom threw away.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog. I have very fond memories of Cleveland. My wife is from there, I used to drive almost every weekend to see her.
ReplyDeleteI miss West Side Market. ;)

ReplyDeleteHey I just came across your blog I totally put the pasta in before the water is boiling too, and I think I also enjoy sports too much for a girl! Like reading your stuff!
ReplyDeleteI think the board of love is pretty much what a girl does with her best friends- taken to the professional level.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they were just having fun with the presentation of being professional- they mentioned it was what they did at the bar anyways.
I do however see a Romantic Comedy coming out of this. I need to offer them an option quick!
