an urban guerrilla Easter
I was just reflecting on what a great day we had today, in the midst of and despite all the snow we had in town and on the near west side. We are lucky enough to live right on the bus line, so we were able to mitigate our road risk and take the 79 right downtown to Starbucks on West 6th (which does not shovel and refuses to shovel its walks, by the way, even when called on it) to wait on the 10 AM Easter brunch at The ChopHouse, and it was good. We then still had time to catch the 326 up to East Ninth Street for the 1215 Easter Sunday mass, which the rector of the cathedral, Father Edward Estok, celebrated in a very elegant ceremony, replete with brass. It was a remarkable celebration. Then, dallying on the way out, we got to introduce ourselves and talk for a few minutes to the new Bishop of Cleveland, Richard G. Lennon. The 326 then took us back to Public Square, and the 79 dropped us off back home on Denison by 2:30 PM. We got to savor a lot of Cleveland, and that too, was good. We'll have to run this routine more often. It was a great way to spend a leisurely Sunday.

That Chophouse bruch is to die for. You and Gloria will go to heaven for your good deeds.
ReplyDeleteIt's almost as good as the one they used to have at Stouffer's on the Square back in the 1980s. These brunches are a good way to get families coming back downtown, too. The crowd at the Chophouse had many tables that spanned three generations, we presume with grandma and grandpa treating.
ReplyDeleteIf you ever need to get to University Circle via bus--the 50 (catch it on Denison/Pearl) goes there without a transfer. Big news to me. Takes about 20 minutes. The other big realization? Ed Morrison and Hunter Morrison are brothers! Freaky.
ReplyDeleteActually the 50 bus takes about an hour. I timed it yesterday on my way to the a library program at Martin Luther King. It is a lazy, scenic route that could be trimmed to make it more appealing as a viable east-west route. Certainly, better than the proposed superhighway Opportunity Corridor.
