Between the great food and drink from East Ohio Street establishments – including Max’s Tavern, the Park House and Arnold’s Tea Room – and the open-minded people embracing creative happenings and impromptu street exhibitions, any and everyone involved will forever connect the Northside to special memories of their Fringe weekend. What did come as a pleasant surprise was my introduction to the Neu Kirche Contemporary Art Center. Located… Read the rest
