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!

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.

Great blog. I have very fond memories of Cleveland. My wife is from there, I used to drive almost every weekend to see her.

I miss West Side Market. ;)

Here's to ya ...

Lived in Canton for a while, went to McKinley. I miss Ohio from time to time, love the blog!

Jade said...

Hey 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!

I think the board of love is pretty much what a girl does with her best friends- taken to the professional level.

I'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!

Hey! I just found your blog - LOVE your content AND your site design - it's awesome!!! I'm a fellow Cleveland blogger as well! Can't wait to keep reading!

Also - had to laugh - I saw you are a UD grad, and saw your shout out to Ryan Hartzell - I'm pretty sure it's the same Ryan Hartzell I know :) Small world!
