The Warriors have been defeated.

Written by
The Warriors did not get the 'Three-peat' they had hoped for. As a Cavs fan I'm pretty happy, aside from the injuries suffered by two of the greatest shooters in the league, of course.  I'm a fan of the sport of Basketball in general and while I support my favorite teams, I really enjoy watching a good, competitive contest rather than a blow-out or one-sided victory.  Could the series have ended another way had KD…
I saw this story and it reminded me of playing chess with my dad as a kid.  I remember him teaching me at my Gramma's house, and once I learned how to play, there was not a person I knew that I didn't ask to play.  It's been a long time since I've played chess at all, let alone with my dad since he lives in Florida now.  Being a kid from Cleveland that loved…

In case you didn't know, OHIO is FUN!

Written by
Well, the secret is out.  Since we live here it can be hard to appreciate all the cool things that the Buckeye State has to offer, but to folks that live in a way less-fun state (which is apparently most of them) I guess that makes Ohio a destination for fun!  A recent Survey by Wallethub.com has Ohio's "Nightlife" ranked in the Top 10, and in the Top 20 for "Entertainment and Recreation".  We knew…
While this may not be on my personal 'short list' of wants for Father's Day, maybe your dad (or you yourself) likes this kind of stuff.  Chocolate Covered PICKLES will be available in Malley's Chocolates stores, while supplies last, starting this Friday June 14th.  If that doesn't sound like your ideal flavor combo, the legendary Northeast Ohio Chocolatiers will also be selling Chocolate Covered Grapes this weekend as well.  There will be no shipping option…

Some 'Hacks' for Pool Owners

Written by
I spent more than a few hours this past weekend cleaning and prepping the pool for Summer... and apparently just as long working on nice sunburn on my back.   Maintaining a pool can be a tedious task, as it only takes a couple of missed days of proper care to turn your backyard oasis into something that looks more like the Bayou.  Luckily, the internet is full of 'experts' that have helpful hacks, hints and tips to help…
When they aren't fighting crime, catching 'Bad Guys', or saving the world, its good to see that superheroes make good use of what little free time they have these days.  Wednesday was an exciting day for kids at Akron Children's Hospital here in The Rubber City as a group of masked and caped Do-Gooders ( and one BIG Green Guy) dropped in to see them... LITERALLY dropped in.  They washed a few windows as well. …
There are few place in these United States that have a High School Football Legacy like that of the Massillon Tigers of Washington High School.  I've lived about 7 minutes North of "Tiger Town", in Canal Fulton, for nearly 15 years and frequent the area often.  When that stadium lights up on a Friday Night and the sun starts to set, ltes just say there aren't many lines in the local stores and traffic is pretty…

A New Recycling Program has begun in Akron

Written by
If you're participating in Akron's curbside Recycling Program, well I hope you are doing it right!  Starting this week, if  you see someone nosing around in your Recycling Bin at the curb, you have nothing to worry about... as long as there are no "contaminants" in yours.  Things like yard waste, food, plastic bags and several other things that are a big no-no in the recycle bin can get you a warning for your first…
I spotted THIS ARTICLE ON CLEVELAND.COM and had to share it with you because being hungry can affect so many aspects of a child's development and well being.  Without discounted school meal programs, Many families will struggle to provide those ever important meals over the summer months.  With great programs like these, children in our area don't have to go without the proper nutrition that is essential to their growth.  There are also many Summer Reading programs to…
