Brewed Fresh Daily

Angle magazine is a new Cleveland arts journal, "born of equal parts frustration and hope, knowledge and grit," and founded by local legends Amy Sparks, Dan Tranberg and Douglas Max Utter, rising "from the ashes of the Free Times." The inaugural issue includes art, film, theater, dance, performance and book reviews, previews, commentary, features, profiles and more. The editors promise: "we have a proposition: You continue making art and finding ways to present it, and we'll review, preview, examine and support it. Others have discovered the link we knew was always there � the connection between culture and the future of the "Setback City" � and we aim to be there when the curtain opens." The current issue is only available online and features film reviews by Sparks, art reviews and features by Tranberg and Utter, a profile of art-ivist John Chaich, and two literary columns by Mike DeCapite and Lola Rodriguez. Print version is coming soon. Way 2 go!

The Grog Shop Lives On! Everyone rallied around Kathy Simkoff when she was kicked out of her Coventry Road space to make room for apartments. She had already found a space on W. 25th when Cleveland Hts woke up and realized that the Grog brought 40,000 people to their town every year. They got her a low interest loan when she promised to soundproof the old Arabica space in the courtyard at Euclid Hts & Coventry, four times as big as the old place. Maybe now that hideous mall-esque Coventryard will finally breathe some authentic life. Happy landing.
