E165 10/21/26

[00:00:57] to the Brunswick Group Therapy Podcast with Lucas and Kimberly.

[00:01:34] We did. We did. Yep, we did. So congratulations to Tammy and her team over there at Secret at Center on Center Road where Tangled Vine used to be across from Paninis and Brunswick Lake doing great things. They want to invite everybody out tonight starting at 5 o'clock so good thing we went early. Yeah, all week long they've got stuff going on for the next week or so she said. Yeah, from 5 tonight, 5 to 8 tonight is Hayden Grove.

[00:02:04] He was on The Voice. I think he was Team Adam and he does jazz and crooning and all that good stuff. It's actually absolutely beautiful inside there. So. Totally different. Check it out. Yeah, totally, totally different. Much more cozy. So I can kind of say I've been there but I still haven't ate there. We didn't eat so. No. Well, I'll need to go back soon. Yep.

[00:02:34] But congratulations and it was great seeing the mayor and Grant and. We're already getting some heart reactions. Thank you. Thank you. You guys stopped in early. Yeah. Good. Moving on to this next one here. And speaking of Grant. I don't want to talk about it. Yeah. I don't want to talk about it. Somebody posted this on our page that they found that Dutch Brothers coffee is trying

[00:03:04] to come to Brunswick. Let me grab my human being. Hang on one second. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. So they're going to fill the former KFC on Center Road. The Brunswick one is still available or the Pearl one is still available. Nothing's going there yet. But Dutch Brothers is a I guess it's it's a national chain, but nowhere around here. Anywhere around here. Nope. Cincinnati, the far east side of Ohio. Sorry. Sorry.

[00:03:34] Far west side of Ohio. I would love to know what they're thinking was like, we don't have anything in this part of the state. Right. Let's pick someplace that already has seven drive throughs. I put it right there. Well, I mean, competition. Nope. No, no, it's an excellent spot because it's happy about right getting onto the highway.

[00:03:57] It's to the east of North Carpenter, North Carpenter. So all those people getting on the highway in the morning now have an option. Nope. But coffee galore, pizza galore. I mean, if you think about it, when was the last time a pizza place closed other than the one inside Market 42? So good point. There's businesses out there and Brunswick must love their coffee.

[00:04:27] So they're working through the planning commission, but I don't see any issues the way they wouldn't be able to come. And I would expect them probably next year sometime. Then maybe the city can put a moratorium on those? On a coffee shop? Yeah. No, I don't know if they'll do that. I don't think they'll do that. But yeah, it's a remodel. Right. There's going to be a walk up window. There's going to be a long drive through that goes around so I don't see any issue with

[00:04:54] it going into the street. And there's spots to park for them to bring your mobile order on too. Hmm. So. Still not excited. Hmm. Sorry. A couple people were though. Sorry. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I actually knew about this October 4th. Yeah. A while ago. But I didn't want to say anything yet. So I kind of posted a if we had another coffee shop and Dutch Brothers was up there with

[00:05:22] Bigsby and what were some of the other ones that they wanted that we don't have caribou. So, you know, maybe we'll get a Bigsby and a caribou next year and we can round it off with a good even 10. Oh, gosh. All right. Stop. Anyway, moving on. Let's move on. City of Brunswick. Seems to be a little bone of contention here. What's that? This whole topic. What topic? The leaf collection. What about it? Oh, a year? It's too early. It's too early.

[00:05:52] No, I'm not even talking about the signs on the side of the road all over the place. You just change the wording. If you put garage sale on it, they'll all be yanked out of the road. Anyway, don't get me started. But no, the leaf collection because people keep saying they're doing this way too early. Yeah. Well, it goes through two to three rounds. The leaves are starting to fall and it begins next Monday.

[00:06:20] So once they go through both rounds, because, you know, you don't know when it's going to snow. We've had trick-or-treating where it was snowy. Sure. And once snow hits the ground, you don't get a chance to pick it up. So I'm glad that they go through a couple different times. Yep. But Ward 1 begins next Monday. Ward 2 is the following day. And actually, the more leaves that people put out, the slower the process is and those dates will get pushed a little bit further back.

[00:06:48] But just rake it to the curb and you're good to go. Absolutely. Another exciting topic. This is a much better talk. Yeah. Much better. We haven't done these in a while and I'm glad Roger's back at it and we can support him. Yeah. So let's take a look at Gage. Gage is a three-year-old boxer mix. And it looks like he likes to swim. Mm-hmm. He's adorable.

[00:07:18] And if you're interested in getting to know more about Gage, contact Roger at Houndstown or Brea Animal Rescue. And here's some video of a little guy in action there. Yeah. They're all cute. Sure are. They're all cute. All right. Okay. Gage. You can talk about this one too if you want. Can I? Yeah. All right. I'm gonna enter.

[00:07:46] No, you can't enter. Why can I not enter? No. It doesn't say that. We are exempt from... I'm not tagged in it and it's not. Oh my gosh. Now is a great time to go out and get those pictures for the Full Follage Photo Contest that is sponsored by Positively Portraits and January Images. They're giving away some gift cards. Nice. The rules are very simple. No professional photographers and no photos from Lucas.

[00:08:15] Everything must be taken from your cell phone. That's so right. They must be taken in Brunswick and you need to state exact location with your photo. There'll be two winners. People's Choice and Photographer's Choice. People's Choice will be determined by the number of likes or loves on your photo. Mm-hmm. And one submission per person. Yeah. Let's look at some of the competition so far. And one of the people actually put the longitude and latitude.

[00:08:43] So how's that for exact coordinates? That's pretty exact. Yeah. I like it. So here, I mean... Yeah. We still got a few more days for you to submit your photo and there's not a whole lot of likes or... Likes or... No. ...reactions on here. So even if you're not going to participate, find this post. Just search Fall Foliage Photo Contest and get in there and like one of those. Yeah. It's in the featured section so just go to the featured section of the page. Nobody can ever find that. I know.

[00:09:13] It's a little button at the top if you're in the app. And the search feature doesn't work that well anymore either. Yeah. For right now at least. Yeah. How you doing, Mark Zuckerberg? Right. Moving buttons and hiding features. All right. It's almost like he wants you to scroll Facebook all day. Moving right along. Moving along. Culver's is having a fundraiser tomorrow night. That's Thursday.

[00:09:41] You can grab a meal from 4 to 8 p.m. and support Culver's. All you gotta do is mention that you are there to support Culver's. Crestview. Crestview. I'll help you. Thank you. You're welcome. Your support is always appreciated and what is that? What percentage? A percentage. It just says a percentage. Yeah. But, I mean, you're gonna eat anyways. You might as well. All right.

Stop by if you're open. If you're open. What the heck? If you're... Stop by from 2 to 4 this Friday. Grounded Bean if you're interested in being a barista. Passionate about people. You must be 18 years old.

[00:10:40] Weekends are required and previous experience is a plus. Yeah. And that's over on Pearl Road. I wonder if you do that all day. Do you stop smelling the coffee at some point? No. You know, when you walk into it, it smells so good in there. And I think you just keep smelling coffee. Ugh. Can you get caffeine highs off of smelling it? I wish. That would be nice, right? Espresso highs. All right.

[00:11:10] What's up, folks? Moving right along. Yeah. Things to do? Yeah. Wild West weekend over at Maple Side Farms. They do this on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

And, of course, discounted admission on Fridays. You forgot to tell them about the pig races. Oh, I forgot to tell them about the pig races, too. There you go. Winding it down.

[00:12:09] There's only maybe one more Sunday after this? Or is this the last one? I'm not sure. No, I think there is one more. Maybe one more. So, winding it down for the season. Maple Side Farms get out there and experience that with the kids. Or with all the kids. What the heck. TNM Lanes is having a Boo and Bowl. That's October 23rd, 6 o'clock to 8 o'clock.

Hinkley Trick or Treat, October 24th. Is this for the city or a town? It's like a street thing. It's um... 4 to 6 on the 24th. Yeah.

[00:14:08] Hinkley Town Center and Sidewalk brought to you by their Chamber of Commerce. Some people are always asking where are the, you know, Trunk or Treats? Where are the Trick or Treats? Yeah. How can I maximize my candy intake? You know, what if the weather's bad on October 31st? Right. How do I make sure that I have candy? And then you go around and get all the candy and then you hand it out on the 31st. Times are tough. Times are tough. That's a great idea. I know, right? I didn't think of that. Or you just hand out the stuff you don't like.

[00:14:38] You know? Yeah. There is going to be jumping all over the place here, but this... We're going to talk about it, but I have to tell you now because I'll forget. There's going to be a candy swap at Market 42 during their event this week. I like that. I like that. So this Sunday from 12 to 3, we'll talk about it in a minute, but a candy swap. Isn't that a great idea? It is a pretty good idea. There's a dentist in town, right? That does a... And they're going to be taking that. I asked them. They were at Trunk or Treat. Hedrick's. They mail it out to the troops or something. Yep. They'll be taking that.

[00:15:07] That's pretty awesome. Mail it out to the troops. Or mail it out to me. I'll take it. Chocolate only. Chocolate only. And berry skittles. I had those the other day for the first time in a long time. They were so good. Tell us what your favorite candy is while we're waiting on Lucas over here to scroll his page. But... I thought you were asking me. No. Well, go ahead. I'll go ahead. What is yours? I like pretty much anything gummy. Dots, Jujubees, Gummy Bears. Yeah. Peach rings.

[00:15:37] Gummy stuff. Gummy stuff. Not bad. Yeah. Teach their own. That's why it all exists. That's why all the pizza shops exist. That's why all the coffee shops exist. That's why all the different candies exist. Very true. Erin says Fifth Avenue. I agree. That's a good one. That is a good one. I won't turn down to Fifth Avenue. Huh. This made me... No, we're not there yet. Oh. We're not. Oh, we're down there. We're at the annual Sound Spectacular.

Uh, event features 15 performances from the best high school bands in Northeast Ohio. Super fun to watch. Um, not boring. Uh, I wish I... I wish I had video to show you of, uh, some of these performances.

[00:16:36] But the gates open at 3.30. The first band performs at 5.00. Um, the first post of why is the band playing? Uh, is that 5.15? 5.05. Uh, the Marching Blue Devils take the field at 9.20. So, come and see the bands. Try the marching tacos at the concession stand. Sample a pie from the pie tent. Yeah. It's not just about marching. Nice. You know, I was... I played trumpet. In middle school. And ate pie while you were doing it. And then they asked me to march and I said no thank you.

For more information, visit the Brunswick Bad Pair organization website. All right. Now, you can talk about... Well, this made me cold. Can that... Is there no other fundraiser? These poor kids are gonna be out. Scout Troop 517 is gonna be out washing cars this weekend.

Anyway, um, over at Brunswick United Methodist Church this Saturday from 9 to 1, these poor kids will be freezing probably, uh, cause the sun will just be coming out and they're done. So, uh, car wash, go help the Scouts. Please give them a hefty donation so they can get out of there early.

I'm sure they get breaks between their sets and stuff, but... He was in California with the music scene, so... Very cool. Does what he loves. It's his bar, right? Yeah. Yeah. And everybody gets to enjoy it. Mm-hmm. So I touched on this a little bit already, but here's, uh, some more details. This Sunday from 12 to 3 is Trick or Treat at Market 42.

I thought you were joking. No. Oh, my gosh. I did see that the clue is coming to Playhouse Square. Is it really? Yep. Yep. Oh, gosh.
