Travel. Food. Fun.

Wonderful Discovery on ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’ (Akron, actually)

By

Not too long ago, I saw an ad for a Brit Floyd concert in Cleveland. I had never heard of Brit Floyd, but I figured it was a Pink Floyd Tribute band. I love live music, and I like Pink Floyd, so I put out a call on Facebook to see if any of my friends might want to go the show and feel that warm thrill of confusion, that space cadet glow. I had no takers, so I didn't go. Little did I know then I would go to an Australian Pink Floyd Show concert in Akron. While I never heard of Brit Floyd, … [Read more...]

The Melting Pot, Quite the Dining Experience

By

One of my friends from work, Jessica Robinson, has talked about how good The Melting Pot is for as long as we have worked in the same department. Her descriptions made me curious to give it a try. However, it wasn't until I saw a Groupon offer for the Melting Pot, did I finally act on the curiosity. The next hurdle was to make time to go. It is in Lyndhurst, Ohio (at least where this Groupon was good for) and that is over 1 hour from where we live. Then my husband, Bobby's, schedule is so … [Read more...]

Broadway’s An American in Paris, a Must-See Show

By

Planning a trip to New York City can be a daunting task. Trying to figure out what to do and see is hard, especially if you have no frame of reference--other than what you see on TV. So I asked plenty of people for their advice. Hands down the number one thing I was told to do was to see a Broadway show. Sounds easy, right? Well not as easy as you think. The reason is there are so many to choose from--even on the short notice we had. (I understand some shows are sold out months in … [Read more...]

Midtown Manhattan Movie Tours Mania!

By

Before my husband, Bobby, and I took our trip to New York City, I tried to figure out things we could do that wouldn't break the bank. This meant a lot of surfing the Internet. I checked out Groupon to see what deals I could find. That's how I stumbled across the Midtown Manhattan Movie Tours. I really like movies, so the idea of getting to see the filmed locations of over 50 different movies was just about the most exciting thing regarding our trip to New York.  After a few scheduling … [Read more...]

Marie’s:  Serves up a Tasty Pizza Pie

By

I have been to Marie's in Wadsworth once or twice, but my husband, Bobby, never has. He has heard from several people that it is a good restaurant, but things never worked out for him to try it. That changed on Sunday, July 3, 2016, when we went on our impromptu date, which you can read about here. Even though we had just got done eating dessert at Subzero Ice Cream and Yogurt, that did not stop us from being enticed to order an appetizer before our pizza. The picture and description of … [Read more...]
