REACHING HIGHER

We all love to be inspired, right? Last month, we showed off 30 examples of inspiration with our annual list of Cleveland’s Most Interesting People. The list, which featured everyone from a beer vendor to a Jeopardy! champ, is a living, breathing example of the talent and skill Northeast Ohio has to offer. That talent wasn’t lost on our readers, either. “I love this! Showcasing local natives that aren’t constantly mediavised. ❤�������� I love Ohio!” Instagram user @sapp4community said on our post of our cover, which featured Olympic champion Katie Nageotte. Les Flake (the aforementioned beer vendor) was another popular MIP, as evidenced by the feedback he received on social media. “We love Les! ��,” @academytaverncle said on Instagram. “One of the nicest, most important citizens of Cleveland!! ❤ Couldn’t agree more with this Most Interesting nod! ��.” The love was shared across other forms of social media as well. “I just want to say that I love this “Most Interesting People of 2022” series soooooooo much! THANK YOU!!” reader Michele Kuhurt commented on Facebook. Well Michele, we loved working on it just as much as you loved reading it. As always, thanks for reading.

Go-To Drinks

In honor of this month’s theme, editors Dillon Stewart and Henry Palattella give their insight on their go-to drink on a night out.

Stewart: I’m omnivorous. I love bourbon neat, red wine and a classic daiquiri with good rum. But there’s nothing I look forward to at the end of a long day like a beer.

Palattella: There’s no drink better than an amaretto sour. Sure, it might not be the most original drink in the world, but this sweet mix of sugar and booze has everything I need.
