Free Admission for Grandparents at Cleveland Aquarium

By Submitted to Northeast Ohio Thrive
August 15, 2017
 The Greater Cleveland Aquarium (FirstEnergy Powerhouse – Flats West Bank, 2000 Sycamore Street, Cleveland, OH 44113; 216.862.8803; greaterclevelandaquarium.com) is offering one (1) free admission for grandma or grandpa on Grandparents’ Day Weekend (Friday, September 8 – Sunday, September 10, 10am – 5pm, last ticket sold at 4pm) with the purchase of a one (1) child or adult general admission.
                                      
“Visiting the aquarium is an intergenerational outing the whole family can enjoy,” says General Manager Tami Brown. “Whether you go nose-to-nose with a spiny tailed lizard, feed a stingray or take a selfie with a shark, it’s a great opportunity to make memories.” The first 50 grandparents each day receive a commemorative button. Families can fill out an aquatic-themed word search for a chance to win a 1-year Grandparents Annual Pass (good for 2 adults 60+ and 2 children ages 2-18). And youngsters can also make a hand-trace Grandparents’ Day fish card on the 2nd floor Exploration Station.  
Other activities throughout the weekend include special cichlid “Dish on Fish” feeding talks by Aquarium staffers at11:45 a.m.  daily. “Cichlids are a large family of freshwater fish that provide parental care,” says Brown. Grandparents visiting on Saturday and Sunday will also be treated to complimentary coffee and tea from 10 – 11 a.m.

Grandparents’ Day weekend discounts can only be applied to in-person admission purchased September 8 – 10 before 4 p.m. at the Aquarium front ticket counter. Admission must be used that day and cannot be combined with another offer.

Michael Stanley: Behind the Scenes

By Marie Elium
May 30, 2017

For our May/June issue, Medina photographer Kim Stahnke, Boomer art director Laura Chadwick, magazine publisher Brad Mitchell and I met up with rocker/songwriter Michael Stanley at Cleveland’s famed Agora Theatre and Ballroom.

The setting was a good one. After all, Stanley along with hundreds of musicians, have played the Agora, both at its Euclid Avenue location and its previous locations in Little Italy and near Cleveland State.

Our Boomer team got there early to scout shots. We walked through the dark and narrow hallways, explored the two stages, checked out lighting options and then ventured outdoors into a parking lot and a side alley. What you see above and in the magazine are just a few of Kim’s great shots.

As for Michael, he was extremely cooperative while we worked on the shoot, gamely sitting on fire escapes and perching on the stage. During our hour-long shoot he was as cool in person as you would imagine.

Our July/August issue continues with a focus on NEO’s role in rock history. Our pop culture columnist Mike Olszewski will tell us about why rocker Meatloaf credits Cleveland with the success of his pivotol album “Bat Out of Hell.”
