Black cat Halloween danger: fact or fiction? [Halloween]
A childhood friend in Cleveland would always be vigilant over her black cat every October and especially so on Halloween.

Local business willing to put up with lots of crap
Yesterday, my wife and I got our first "Crescent Hill Newsletter" in the mail. It's the March-April 2010 edition, so there's plenty of talk about Easter egg hunts. Because I know you're dying to know, there's also information for a March book discussion about Kate Chopin's "The Awakening" at the Crescent Hill Library (2762 Frankfort Ave.). I read that book in high school. Spoiler alert: one of the main characters commits suicide. Hello, spring!
