It is a mile and a half southeast of University Circle, Clevelands cultural hub, with Severance Hall (home of the Cleveland Orchestra), the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Cleveland Cultural and Botanical gardens and the campus of Case Western Reserve University and its medical center. It is about the same distance south of Little Italys art galleries and restaurants.

Indoors: A circular driveway leads to the front door, or you can approach the house through a large, columned side entrance designed for carriages.

The front door opens to a vestibule, followed by a grand hallway with a barrel-vault ceiling, polished floors and mahogany woodwork. Thick mahogany pocket doors with vintage hardware lead into a living room measuring 34 by 20 feet. It has one of the homes seven fireplaces and a leaded-glass window bay deep enough to hold a baby grand piano.

Another set of doors connects to a 21-foot-square dining room with paneled walls, a five-window bay and an extra-wide marble fireplace that heats the room efficiently. Burled mahogany doors on one side lead into a library whose walls are covered in bright green moir paper and whose fireplace surround is green ceramic block. This room opens to a sunroom with a terra-cotta tile floor and direct access to the backyard.

On the other side of the dining room is a 24-by-18-foot white kitchen that has a large, curved center island with a sink and grill top and a separate seating area. The periphery is lined in cabinets and white-paneled appliances. A laundry room is next to it.

The home has two staircases, front and back. Off the first landing of the main one a stately mahogany affair is a salon hung with a crystal chandelier. It walks up several stairs to a master suite with a 28-by-21-foot bedroom that has a fireplace with an elaborate wood mantel and a windowed niche; the suite also includes an office, a large walk-in closet and a private bathroom. Three additional bedrooms (two with fireplaces) and two full bathrooms are on this floor.

The third floor contains a guest suite with three bedrooms, an office, a living room, a kitchenette and two full bathrooms. A full unfinished basement has storage rooms and an enormous vintage safe that still works.

Tom Gist, a custom home builder who was said to have been advised by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe not to pursue architectural training, but became a celebrated architectural designer in Tucson anyway designed this one-story house, with its deep, flat overhangs, in the Catalina foothills. It is about seven and a half miles northwest of downtown, with unobstructed views of the surrounding mountains and city lights. St. Philips Plaza, with shopping, restaurants, live outdoor music and a weekend farmers market, is less than a mile away, as is Saint Philips in the Hills, the historic Episcopal church that gave the area its name. Access to the Loop, a 131-mile trail system that encircles the city, is less than half a mile away.

Size: 1,723 square feet

Price per square foot: $435

Indoors: The homes burnt-adobe brick construction is exposed inside as well as out. In the living room, the bricks are set below glass that wraps around the space on three sides. The flooring throughout the building is concrete; some of it still bears the marks of tile laid down by a previous owner and removed by the sellers to restore the original surface.

The sellers also brought the kitchen back to its first conception, duplicating the original custom cabinets with their angled, integral pulls. (The new cabinets are rift-sawn white oak with matte-finished quartz countertops; panels disguise the refrigerator and dishwasher.) The kitchen, which includes a gas cooktop and a convection oven, has a dining area with a brick corner fireplace. A door next to the fireplace opens to a small laundry room with a stacking washer and dryer and an oak utility cabinet

The four bedrooms are off a hallway. The narrow triangular window cut out of an exposed brick wall in the master and in one of the guest rooms is a signature design element of Mr. Gist. The master bathroom was recently refinished with the same cabinetry found in the kitchen and has a separate room with a walk-in shower and toilet. The three guest rooms share a bathroom across the hall that is surfaced in square, taupe tile and has a combined tub and shower.

Outdoor space: The sellers rebuilt a deep, walled brick patio that extends along the back of the house and is punctured by a palo verde tree; both the dining room and the master bedroom have direct access to the space. Gravel and native plants surround the building on the other sides. Parking for two cars is in an attached carport.

Taxes: $2,963 (based on a tax assessment of $24,160)

A landscape painter bought this antique gristmill in 1999 for $50,000 and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars and a substantial amount of personal sweat reinforcing it, re-roofing it and otherwise turning it into a year-round live-work space for herself and her husband.

The property is in northern Delaware County, about 150 miles northwest of Manhattan and 65 miles southwest of Albany, N.Y. Oneonta, which has a State University of New York campus, is about half an hour west. The community is agricultural and speckled with artists and weekenders, and has a popular cheesemaker.

Size: 3,864 square feet

Price per square foot: $194

Indoors: The stone base of the board-and-batten-sided building still holds mill apparatus. The main floor consists of a long stretch of open space laid with original chestnut boards that the owner cleaned and stained with tea to even out the color. Timber posts and old barn beams divide the level into a living area, a relaxation area that currently holds a bed, and a kitchen and dining area with a walk-in pantry.

In the kitchen, windows wrap around a corner and an island is outfitted with storage niches, shelves and pothooks. There is also a six-burner Viking range and a double porcelain sink set below a leaded-glass window. Landscapes are painted on the four lower door fronts of the built-in china cabinet. Actual mountains and greenery can be seen from the large, multipaned windows.

Upstairs, the ceiling is beamed and vaulted, and the space includes a master bedroom and bathroom, a walk-in closet, a painting studio and a large sitting room. The bathroom has a claw-foot tub and shower head, and a vintage porcelain sink and medicine cabinet.

Outdoor space: A deck built by the owners extends below the front entrance and overlooks the brook. Woven twigs are used as fencing and as edging for garden beds. Vines climb up the houses stone walls, and daffodils erupt in the spring.

Taxes: $4,723 (2019, based on a tax assessment of $42,600)

Breweries everywhere have always created an outlet for people a time to relax and socialize with others. Unfortunately, in the times of the coronavirus pandemic and with bar closures, it has affected some of Bakersfields local breweries, causing them to remarket themselves and save their businesses.

Owners and brewers from Temblor Brewing Co., Great Change Brewing and 2nd Phase Brewing continued to work by restrategizing their everyday business plan and staying hopeful. Temblor Brewing Companys Don Bynum, 2nd Phase Brewings Frank Miranda and Great Change Brewings Tim and Steve Belmont thought about what they were going to do next to keep their businesses afloat with tap rooms and dining rooms shut down.

For these local breweries, most of their keg sales decreased, but it gave them the opportunity to remarket themselves into selling canned beers.

Master brewer at Temblor Brewing Co. Justin Hill, who works closely with Bynum, said their pint sales have cut in half, but he has seen a 200 percent increase in can sales.

In the transition, we did have kegs go bad so weve had to pour them out, said Bynum. Weve sold twice as many canned beers this year as we did last year. Our tanks have been full and ongoing, which has never happened.

Both Great Change Brewing and 2nd Phase Brewing had to figure out ways to re-market their beers as canned products, where Temblor already had a system in place.

Miranda, who is the only brewer at 2nd Phase Brewing and just opened his business in January, had to quickly think of ways to maintain his business.

I had thoughts of selling to-go and calling up places for easy canning material, labels and things we werent ready for but we needed to be ready for this, said Miranda.

Miranda had support from fellow brewers at Crusader Brewing by letting him use their crowler machine until he figured out his own canning process.

We had to make adjustments with what beers we were going to do. We were still pushing new beers not knowing if people were going to enjoy them or not, Miranda said.

Tim Belmont, co-owner of Great Change Brewing, alongside his brother Steve Belmont and co-owner Kyle Smith, had to refocus their image and think of a solution to increase their sales.

We arent selling any draft beer like we were before so we had to remarket ourselves to canning. We partnered with Lengthwise and they helped us with canning, said Tim Belmont. Now were readjusting and working with our distributors.

Like most businesses, breweries are offering patio dining until they can open their indoor seating to the public.

Because Great Change Brewing and 2nd Phase Brewing do not serve food in-house, theyve managed to partner with other local food vendors to keep their doors open. The California rule requires customers to order meals along with their beers.

Weve partnered with them before but its critical now to sell beer. Were utilizing that patio by having that food component, said Belmont.

Though the coronavirus pandemic has left many businesses struggling to survive, it also gave those businesses a chance to be creative and collaborate.

Its all driven by the canning, whats been selling, whats in the market and following those trends. Were brewing our beer towards supply and demand, said Belmont.

Poncherella Pale Ale, Yo Mr. White and Eve Blonde Ale are a few of Great Change Brewings demanding beers on their market.

Bynum said he and his team are working on creating more beers and continue to sell outside the county.

We kind of felt like losing events and losing the pub and all these things were depressing because a lot of work went away. Weve been able to stay tight and sit down each day, have a beer together and be creative together. We have a common goal and we have fun with it, said Bynum.

Bynum and his team are working on new beers like Golden Empire Strikes Back, Soft and Fluffy and Flannel Shirt.

Miranda, whose business has only been open since the beginning of this year, had to find a turn around to bring customers in, but found a way by partnering with other local businesses downtown like Locale Farm to Table Eatery and Bottleshock. The brewery has Bakersfield inspired themed beers like East Chester IPA, Bakersfield Blues, Farm to Tap Ale and Rich Uncle.

Though these breweries have faced challenges, they are continuously working on ways to keep their doors open all while still connecting with the community.

The community has been incredibly supportive and we wouldnt be open if it werent for that. These programs the government put out it saved us. I hope things continue to improve or theres more help down the road, said Bynum.

Some Toronto bars are now choosing to close their doors to drinkers indefinitely because of the rising COVID-19 case count andthe way resultant restrictions are impacting theirbusiness.

"We chose to close because of the worrying rise in COVID-19 cases in the city. Our priority has always been the health, safety, and enjoyment of our staff and guests so given the current climate, the only thing that made sense to us was to shut it down indefinitely," says Max Morin of Godspeed Brewery.

The brewery has closed its pub and patio indefinitely.

"We were also reading and watching a lot of frontline healthcare workers ask for tighter restrictions on bars and restaurants so we felt a need to do right by them as well."

Not all bars in the hard-hit industry have been so enthusiastic to volunteer to close their doors, many actively speaking up about the recent tightening of restrictions on bars including an 11 p.m. last call.

"Not every brewery, bar, or small business has the luxury to close for dine in like we have. We recognize that every business is different and think it's important to highlight the sacrifices other breweries have made since the start of the pandemic," says Morin.

"Many of our peers like Left Field, Muddy York, Bellwoods, the list goes on,have remained closed for service or opted to limit their service to patio only and we think that should be applauded, too."

Though it hasn't been mandated, some restaurants have chosen to voluntarilyroll back to closing for dine-in service, opting to stick to patio service or takeout only.

As for Godspeed, they have no set reopening date for their pub as of yet.

"It's hard to put terms on a reopening date given that we really don't know what this second wave or winter will bring. That said, a flattening of the curve or a vaccine would go a long way in making us feel compelled to reopen," says Morin.

"In the future, we'll always consider advice from Toronto Public Health before making any big decisions."

While Godspeed will remain open in a bottle shop and takeout capacity, Betty's has announced they're closing down entirely for the forseeable future.

"It's unrecognizable from before," said Marc Fortney, co-owner of Brothers, 1213 N. Water St. "We're really bringing everything. It'sthe new version of Brothers."

"As we've gotten older, we've thought more aboutwhat we would want in a bar, and brought that to Brothers," he said. "We're available for family dining, and after 10 p.m. we'll be 21 and older and focus on that crowd."

The Milwaukee Brothers is the first remodeled location in Wisconsin.

"We don't have this in La Crosse," Fortney said. "We thought it was a great opportunity to do this in Milwaukee with the Fiserv Forum right there. It's really exciting for us to bring this here to Wisconsin. We're just beaming."

The Win~Dows delicious double cheeseburger

Along the iconic Venice Boardwalk, burger stand the Win~dow at American Beauty is looking to recreate the magic a second time.

Stylized as The Win~Dow, the classic American-style takeaway restaurant opened its first location on Rose Avenue in 2019, where it quickly became a neighborhood favorite and famous for its $4 burgers. Its second location, right on the corner of Ocean Front Walk and 19th Avenue, will feature its signature cheeseburgers at wallet-friendly prices just steps away from the beach.

Head Chefs Anthony Goodwin and Chef Elisha Ben-Haim opened the new location on Tuesday, Sept. 29, committed to keeping much of the menu and low-prices the same while offering some new Venice-appropriate additions. The curated menu, which features items costing $8 or less, features vegetarian alternatives like grain bowls and plant-based burgers, alongside fried chicken sandwiches and the Win~dows ever-popular cheeseburgers. The expanded menu also features a separate ice-cream bar offering milkshakes and dipped cones, perfect frozen treats for cooldowns on hot beach days.

The new location also has a 40-seat patio with a prime view of the Pacific Ocean and Muscle Beach for those looking to relax while enjoying their meal. If youre feeling a bit lazy, local delivery is also available through DoorDash, Postmates and UberEats. Check out the new location open daily from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m., and for more information, visit http://www.thewin-dow.la or follow @americanbeauty.la on Instagram.

Number Thirty Eight, a new, massive food, drink and live-music venue in RiNo, is about as Colorado-centric as it gets.

The name refers to how this great state was the 38th to join the union; there are 24 local brews on tap, and the space serves local spirits, as well. Founders Spencer Fronk and Andrew Palmquist say it boasts 18,000 square feet of outdoor space. That includes a huge patio, stage and volleyball courts, all of which take a cue from Colorados aprs-ski culture. And that means Number Thirty Eight will be hosting outdoor concerts even after the weather turns cold.

The venue, which opens Friday, October 9, with music from indie-pop singer-songwriter Zach Heckendorf, is set to host shows three nights a week, with each act playing two sets a night, at 5 and 8 p.m. The shows will include rising stars playing across genres: Indie-pop act South of France plays two nights this weekend, while indie-psych band Augustus, rapper extraordinaire Old Man Saxon, the road-trip rockers in Whitacreand gifted singer-songwriters Lucas Wolf and Covenhoven are on tap later this month.

As Coloradans, when it gets cold, we put a layer on, and we go outside right when it gets cold," Fronk says. "We don't just go inside. We go and explore, and we go to the mountains to get out. And that's kind of the mentality that we're going to be bringing here. We want people to come outside. We'll have heaters. You put on a warm layer, you listen to music, and you drink a cold beverage.

There isnt a cover for concerts, but reservations are required on OpenTable. As part of COVID-19 restrictions, theres a 175-seat capacity, but the space could hold 1,000 people once coronavirus restrictions are lifted.

One of the things we also really wanted to focus on in our outdoor space was the variety of seating, Palmquist says. A lot of outdoor patios are just a sea of picnic tables. We wanted to create a space [where] people can pick and choose what sort of seating style they want.

The stage has state-of-the-art lighting and sound systems that Palmquist says are plug-and-play for most bands.

While Fronk and Palmquist have been planning to open Number Thirty Eight, which is housed in a former neon-sign factory, for two years, theyve had to hold off the past six months to see whats happening in the restaurant and bar industry during COVID-19. They designed the space with safety guidelines in place.

Theres a state-of-the-art check-in and payment system that uses wristbands and RFID trackers for a touchless experience for ordering food or drinks. Theres also a reservation-based, distanced seating plan, and a wall of floor-to-ceiling garage doors that let in fresh air year-round and open onto the patio.

Both Colorado natives, Fronk and Palmquist realized there was a hole in the market.

If you want to find really good live music, you have to sacrifice the food or beverage, Fronk says. You go to a place that has amazing food, and there's someone in the corner playing the guitar. Or you can go to a music venue, and you don't get that great of food. With Number 38, we change that, so you never have to choose again. You can always have great music, great food and great booze, all within one space, and brought to you in a unique, contactless and safe way.

Chef Merlin Verrier, who was the culinary director at Lollapalooza in Chicago for a decade (and ran Street Feud at Avanti), heads up the kitchen, with a menu that includes flatbreads, tacos, bowls and bao buns.

Fronk and Palmquist also intend to open additional locations in other states, starting with Austin, Texas (Number Twenty Eight), Portland, Oregon (Number Thirty Three) and Columbus, Ohio (Number Seventeen) in 2021 and 2022.
