I figured that since every time a new "chicken shack and rib joint" (a phrase coined by a onetime friend decades ago to describe the culinary options in Breezewood, PA) opens in one of the 3C's or other large Ohio city is documented here, I will do the same for Lake County. I know, however, that 99.9% of them will be in Mentor. So be it :-)

The latest restaurant wanting to locate in Mentor will be putting some of Mentor onto its restaurant.

 

California-based BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse is proposing to mount on the outside a large mural memorializing the city’s heritage as “the Rose Capital of the Nation.”

I just ate at one of these down in Texas... nothing amazing, but it will generate some business for sure.  It's right up Mentor's alley.

 

It would have been nice if it could use an existing area, but I guess the mall has the most visible property, particularly off of Mentor Ave., and perhaps they will siphon some of Olive Garden's business, so the wait time may sometimes be less than 90 minutes.

Restaurant review: Tasty food at Morehouse in Willoughby outweighs some service flaws

The Morehouse opened in late summer and is the brainchild of the same ownership group that brought you Cropatrick’s Pub and the Wild Goose, other very popular Willoughby establishments. What sets The Morehouse apart, though, is its focus on Southern comfort food, a category that had somehow heretofore gone unfilled in Downtown Willoughby.

isn't there a theater thread anywhere?? I'll just post this here--

 

:wave: Hey kids, it's high school musical time! I just wanted to give a plug to my old alma mater's production of Ragtime this weekend. Okay, you're not likely to hear singing on the level of Audra McDonald, but you don't even hear that on Broadway that much. And the tickets aren't hundreds of dollars (we never did musicals when I was in school, not that I would have been eligible :-()...

"After much anticipation, this is the weekend that Harvey High School in Painesville will present their drama club’s ambitious and eagerly anticipated production of “Ragtime.”

 

Performances are at the school auditorium on March 18 and 19 at 7 p.m. and March 19 and 20 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $6 for adults and $4 for students and can be purchased at the door. Tickets can also be purchased by calling 440-392-5170 or in the Harvey High School Main Office.

 

“Based on the 1975 novel by E. L. Doctorow, “Ragtime” tells the story of African Americans, upper-class suburbanites, and Eastern European immigrants in early 20th century America. Both fictional and historical characters navigate various challenges of race, ethnicity, and survival in a musical that won Best Book and Best Score at the Tony Awards in 1998.

 

I don’t always receive unsolicited e-mails from the general community singing the praises of a particular upcoming production, but that has definitely occurred with “Ragtime.” With one of the more diverse student bodies in Lake County, this issue-laden drama sadly has too much in common with the present day — perhaps more than it should."
