first, we stayed in the sheraton suites in my hometown. it's pretty much the only hotel, but rather fancy. i was kind of embarrassed to stay there, because it's the kind of place that no one in my hometown can afford to stay in... but to keep it real, it's across the street from a factory--the schwebel's bread factory, so it smells like baking bread down there all the time. oh, and this is downtown. that's what makes ohio wonderful, all the factories downtown. at least this is just a bread factory. when i was a kid, there was a coal plant in my town. and still, near downtown cleveland, there are actually oil refineries. mmm, memories of childhood... petroleum in the morning!
then a picture of my sisters when we went out to dinner at a new place in downtown akron called cilantro's. it was actually pretty good, and we had a nice time.
the west side market again.
city chicken. have i explained this before? city chicken is another thing unique to the area that i grew up in. it is pieces of pork on a stick that you bread (or shake 'n bake) and fry or bake. i never liked it.
here's what city chicken looks like when it's cooked--pan fried here in this photograph:
and here are the nephews. vinnie is 3 and dominic is 1 month.
