Since LOST RESTAURANTS OF DOWNTOWN CLEVELAND
came out in September, 2021, I've been lucky enough to visit bookstores
like Visible Voice in Cleveland and Mindfair in Oberlin for book
signings and presented the companion storytelling program for many
groups including libraries and historical societies in Cuyahoga and
Lorain Counties. The trips continue and if you can join me in January
and February AND have a great meal!<br>
<br>
On Thursday, January 19, 2023, you can take A TOUR OF CLEVELAND
RESTAURANTS IN 30 MINUTES -- MORE OR LESS! This storytelling program
based on the book is a trip through time. You'll stop by some of the
city's most famous and historic places to "visit" them during their
heyday. You'll get a sense of what it was like to sit in the Vogue room
at the Hollenden Hotel to hear Dean Martin and the Sammy Watkins
Orchestra in 1942. You can visit the Alpine Village in 1955 and maybe
catch owner Herman Pirchner deliver 55 beer mugs to his customers at one
time. It's a quick and delicious trip back to the past.<br>
<br>
The tour will take place at 1:00 p.m. at the <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.beachwoodohio.com/138/Community-Services" style="color:rgb(159,89,14);font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">Beachwood Community Center</a>;
25325 Fairmount Blvd., Beachwood, Ohio. Tickets for the show are $5.00.
Tickets for a pre-paid, pre-ordered noon lunch are $16.00 non/residents
and $13.00 for Beachwood residents. Lunch choices are: Chicken Lo Mein
Or Vegetable Subgum served with a vegetable egg roll, beverage and
dessert. Pre-registration is required. For complete information and to
purchase tickets, contact Susan at 216-292-1911.<br>

<br>
On Thursday, February 23, 2023 you can join me when I sit down to talk with Mike Miller about the book at <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://musicboxcle.com/" style="color:rgb(159,89,14);font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">The Music Box Supper Club</a>
at 1148 Main Avenue in Cleveland. Come enjoy a dinner (or just come for
the book talk!) and find out about some of these lost eateries at one
of the CURRENT places to enjoy some culinary delights. <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://musicboxcle.com/event/lost-restaurants-of-cleveland/" style="color:rgb(159,89,14);font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">Make your reservations now</a>! For more information, call the Music Box at 216-242-1250. Doors open at 5 p.m. and the program starts at 7 p.m.<br>
<br>
Both events promise to be fun, festive and filled with food! I hope to
see you at one or both of these presentations. You can purchase copies
of the book at both events, at your local bookstore or online at <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.arcadiapublishing.com/Products/9781467140881" style="color:rgb(159,89,14);font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">Arcadia Press</a>.<br>

this is my first letter to you in the new year, please let me wish you a
Wonderful and Healthy 2023. Know that I and the rest of the Eden
Valley staff appreciate your support as audience members, presenters and
donors for all of our projects. We look forward to sharing stories
with you all year.<br>
<br>
As we look ahead, we continue to move forward with our documentary about
Victoria Woodhull. We are working on plans to begin filming this year
and are grateful to everyone who has contributed specifically to this
project. As you know, the pandemic caused us to pull back on our plans
for the project. We are now working ONLY off of money we can raise from
supporters like you and we are happy to report that many of you stepped
forward last year to offer help. For complete information about the
project, please <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.edenvalleyenterprises.org/woodhull/woodhullinf.htm" style="color:rgb(159,89,14);font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">visit our website</a>.<br>
<br>
If you would like to book a "restaurant tour" for your group or present
any of our programs at your next event, just reply to this e-mail with
your request. I'll be in touch to help you plan your get-together.<br>
<br>
Here's to a joyful 2023!<br>
