Rocky River was named one of the “150 Best Places to fish in America” in the June 2007 issue of Field and Stream magazine ... The Rocky River level is currently moderately low and clear. The exceptionally warm weather over the weekend has led to a sharp decline in the numbers of remaining steelhead but the good news is that the warmwater fisheries opportunities are heating up just as quickly. Given the current weekend forecast I would not expect river conditions to change much for the

Why not in Shaheen Modern and Contemporary Gallery's downtown space, perched across from the east end of Cleveland's hyacinth-tinted Veteran's Memorial Bridge? We left with our hearts tired is the second exhibit of Miami-based Craig Kucia's brilliantly colored, Easter-basket-like paintings at Shaheen to coincide with northern
CPH poised to dump its theater ... by James Damico ... Five years ago, in a two-part analysis saluting the long overdue departure of Peter Hackett as the Cleveland Play House's chief, I painfully reckoned up the myriad failings of his decade-long regime, along with those of the equally ruinous eight-year administration of his predecessor, Josephine Abady.

The group began under the daunting wing and influence of Belle & Sebastian, working with Stuart Murdoch and reflecting the B & S sound more than a little. Camera Obscura co-founder John Henderson left in 2005, leaving Campbell as the de facto leader. This role has benefited both her writing and the band;
