Alas, we're faced with terms like "back to school," "Labor Day" and "September." And let's not forget the interminable arguments over who should start as our quarterback this year.
In Lakewood, meanwhile, the last *official* weekend of summer will surely offer a chance for families and friends to get together and enjoy a three-day respite from the hustle and bustle of, well, everything else.
We've rounded up a few local events that you'll enjoy. If you've got any additional suggestions, feel free to post in the comments section below or catch up with us on our Facebook page.
It may take you outside the city borders, but Love Muffin Palooza at The Beachland Ballroom this weekend will have a distinctly Lakewoodian vibe as The Burning River Ramblers take the stage.
The festival slot is yet another notch in what’s turned out to be a dynamic and driven year for the band. The key to their recent development, members explain, is the growing sense of collaboration.
The Ramblers’ gig is scheduled for 8 p.m. Aug. 31 at The Beachland Ballroom, 15711 Waterloo Road in Cleveland.
Closer to home, the Front Porch Concert series continues with Mo MoJo's set at 7 p.m. tonight on - you guessed it - the front porch of Lakewood Public Library, 15425 Detroit Ave.
