Before we get to that and you yell at me, then I call you a hypocrite...

Back after too long with an astrological outlook for the year, Janet Amid!

I'm not dating right now.

Mask analysis.

Separating the art from the artists. 

My friend, Mary Bilyeu, food empress at the Blade is back for her tasty monthly visit.

She loves the Great British Bakeoff, so I asked her to talk about it. No spoilers!

One of her colleagues was quite bold with a word he used in an article this week.

The latest Cheap Eats was Swanky Scoops.

Trevor Deeter (Deet's BBQ) has a new spot in downtown Toledo in the shadow of the Huntington Center inside Levis Square.

The Brick Bar. Which is going to have a weekly jazz night on Wednesday's.

Even better, Trevor has teamed up with Be Instrumental. They get music education and instruments into the hands, ears and minds of kids who otherwise might not have access to them

So much thanks to Jeff Green and Doug Logston from BI for visiting today along with Trevor.

There's some discussion points in the aftermath of the Raising Cane's announcement/hysteria. 

And I want to laud TPS for their initiatives announced yesterday. 

It took us a long time to finally track him down, but we had phenomenal and extremely informative hour with JoJuan Armour who is leading the initiative to reduce gun violence in Toledo. 

The native Toledoan returned from Columbus to head up the violence interrupters program that began over the past year. 

He and his team - and WE as a community - have a monumental task, in a fiery crucible of times, but we can make progress and preserve lives. JoJuan is the point person for that effort.
