In my opinion, Arts, Beats & Eats should be renamed to Eats, Arts & Beats. Why? Nothing against the “arts” and “beats” part of the festival, but I LOVE food. Good thing for me that there will be plenty of it at this year’s festival, which kicks off Friday and runs through Monday, Labor...

I saw another great movie in a great venue over the weekend. And if you get the chance, you should also go to see “The Devil’s Double” at the Main Art in Royal Oak. To be honest, I hadn’t heard much of anything about the movie before we went to see it, but my...

Don’t get me wrong. I love going out to eat at white tablecloth restaurants, dressing up and maybe even putting on makeup and heels, and ordering something from the wine list. Sometimes. But, the truth of it is, I love a good dive joint just as much, maybe more, than I like fine dining....

I’ve known about certain fetishes for a long time. People being into, what I would consider, strange and unusual things. I consider myself to be “in the know” because hey, I watched HBO’s Real Sex. It became blazingly obvious how prevalent these fetishes are when one of the biggest searches that landed people on...
