2021 Editions

Spring is here and so is our March/April issue of Northeast Ohio Boomer & Beyond magazine! On the cover we’ve got a major league couple: Mike and Sharon Hargrove who talk about life in and out of baseball and a year of living in a pandemic.

Also in this issue: second chances. We’ve rounded up experts for home decor, job hunting and dating who will inspire you to revamp, reboot and reclaim your life.

And as they say, that’s not all. Want to avoid internet cons? Never fear, our tech expert has practical advice on keeping the bad guys out of your online activities.

And in Northeast Ohio Grandparent section, we’ve got a story on grandparents being grand fans for their grandkids. That’s a lot of grands; we think the story is grand, too.
