Lorain Cops: About as Straight as a Drag Queen Convention

First came the big piece on numerous incidents committed by Lorain police, then came the story about a Lorain cop getting jiggy with his stun-gun, well now we’ve got another. Seems that all the cops in Lorain may simply be following the example of their boss. Police Chief Cel Rivera has been receiving thousands of dollars in extra pay since 2001, which he finds nothing wrong with because he asked for it. The problem is that city council had no idea they were still shooting the boss some extra cash, only mayor Craig Foltin did. Something mighty shady is going on here.

Melt Review

That’s right, our message board is no longer the premiere discussion spot for Melt, The Free Times have dealt out their own thoughts on the restaurant. Just reading it made me hungry.

Rock Hall Calling

The Free Times is really stepping it up this week review wise, besides Melt they also offer a description of the newly opened Clash exhibit at the Rock Hall. Also, to kick that shit off Mick Jones, the dude that sang besides Joe Strummer, will be talking at the Rock Hall this Saturday. Go hear his accent, go see some guitars.

Somebody Pour Me a Glass

The Scene’s cover story this week details the rise of the Ohio wine game. Shit’s getting real serious, even defeating California wines in competitions. And here I thought the only thing that grew in Ohio was Walmarts.
