Danilee Eichorne:
Tom Kryss:
at this Thursday’s poetry reading.
with the aftermath of the April showers, there will be the May flowers. I never know what flowers will pop up, perennials with their consistent production of beautiful and perfume, or annuals dropped from a bird’s meal (either end) or blown in from the wind. This next Thursday, May 8 at 9:30pm at the Literary Café, the flowers of Danilee Eichorne and Tom Kryss will be blooming in their full poetic color. Tom is a perennial for sure and Danilee has popped up like an annual.

The Washington Park Golf Learning Center.
May 7th, 2008 by Administrator
Only two miles the way the Crow flies and four miles by car from Tremont is the Washington Park Learning Center Golf Course. It opened in 2006 nestled on the east bank just below Mittal Steel part of the continuing development of the valley joining with Steelyard Commons and the Tow Path for recreational and retail use. Money well spent. Less than a decade ago it was an inaccessible industrial wasteland. Just don’t pick and eat the fruit off the trees down there.
The Golf course is almost a par 3; 1,486 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 29. Don’t let that discourage you however if you’re an avid golfer. The course is beautifully shaped and molded with undulating greens, sand traps and tall rough. It’s a much nicer in terms of grass quality and build than both Little Met and Mastick woods. The course rewards accuracy and punishes shots that veer 10 yards to left or right. A very good short game challenge actually.
The most endearing thing about this course for me besides it’s close proximity, is that it’s nestled into Ye Olde Cleveland. Actually Newburgh Hts. Anyhow it’s the first course that I’ve been on where ramshackle boarded up homes butt up to some of the fairways.
I thought of buying them up, renovating and advertise as luxury golf townhouses. 
To be fair the neighborhood in general around the course is quite nice in a Lakewood kind of way.
It’s also the first course that I’ve been on where the Mittal Steel smokestacks form the backdrop for some of the holes.
Between the Ladies and Men’s tees are these Astro Turf tees that we call the drinking tees. Nice Touch.
Finally the course encourages kids to golf there offering lessons and kids club rentals.

The Billy Clarksville Band performance at the Heart of the Southside Bar. 1995
May 2nd, 2008 by Administrator
Part1
Part 2
The Billy Clarksville Band recorded at the old Heart of the Southside Bar (now Fat Cat’s) in Cleveland’s Tremont neighborhood on April 1st, 1995. In part 1 the band doesn’t start playing until the 7:30 mark but there’s allot of shots of Troy and his wife, the crowd and the old HOTS bar which are nostalgic. The beauty of Google video is that you can click ahead or behind to watch; the video will play from where you clicked. Also you can link and share your favorite part from within a long video by appending the URL with #_m_s. So if you want to go straight to the band click ahead till you get to about the 7:30 mark. Of course you don’t have to watch this if you don’t want to. In that case don’t click on anything in this entry. In fact the Literary Cafe encourages you to not do what you don’t want to do. Or not.
