E54: Brunswick Breaks Ground!

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

[00:00:06] What do you think?

[00:00:11] I think episode number 54.

[00:00:13] Nice.

[00:00:14] Got to start it off with congratulations to the class of 2024.

[00:00:20] How many were in the class this year?

[00:00:23] Do you know?

[00:00:24] I do not know.

[00:00:25] Graduating class?

[00:00:26] Yeah, I know I had around 500 and they say it's getting smaller.

[00:00:29] What are we going to say?

[00:00:32] 440, 450?

[00:00:33] I don't know.

[00:00:34] Yeah, I don't know.

[00:00:35] But congratulations to each and every one of them.

[00:00:37] Gorgeous day.

[00:00:38] Yeah, it was.

[00:00:39] Everything.

[00:00:40] Yeah.

[00:00:41] On to bigger things.

[00:00:43] And did you see Willets is completely gone now?

[00:00:46] Gone.

[00:00:47] Completely torn down.

[00:00:48] Towsley?

[00:00:49] Gone.

[00:00:50] Really really close or is it all gone?

[00:00:51] Almost gone.

[00:00:52] I don't know.

[00:00:53] I don't know.

[00:00:54] I was just going with your theme there of gone.

[00:00:57] They should change those bushes out front.

[00:00:59] They should get somebody out there to...

[00:01:01] What should we change them to?

[00:01:02] I don't know.

[00:01:03] Just BHS or something?

[00:01:04] Oh, we have to regrow them certain ways.

[00:01:08] They're grown.

[00:01:09] They're full enough that you could probably change it to whatever you'd like.

[00:01:12] Oh really?

[00:01:13] Yeah.

[00:01:14] They've let them go, have they?

[00:01:15] Yes.

[00:01:16] Today is the 31st.

[00:01:17] If it's not done by the 14th then I think under the cover of night we should

[00:01:21] probably climb in there and...

[00:01:23] I haven't trimmed my own hedges at the house.

[00:01:25] I am not going to go create BHS out of Towsley.

[00:01:28] No, if we're doing it, it's going to be BGT.

[00:01:31] I like it.

[00:01:34] They'll definitely know who did it then, won't they?

[00:01:38] You see the Brunswick Fire Station had their...

[00:01:41] The new fire station had their ceremony for their...

[00:01:45] Groundbreaking.

[00:01:46] Groundbreaking.

[00:01:47] Yeah.

[00:01:48] Let's hear a little bit from city manager Carl DeForest.

[00:01:51] So on behalf of Brunswick City Council and the city administration, I'd like to welcome

[00:01:55] you to 1094 Hadcock.

[00:01:57] 1094 Hadcock is the future home of the Brunswick Division of Fire.

[00:02:02] And we currently have two stations.

[00:02:04] We're going to go to one station in the very near future and hopefully everybody

[00:02:09] remembers on time and on budget.

[00:02:14] This is kind of a big deal.

[00:02:16] We don't do this very often.

[00:02:17] Last time we built and opened a building was the rec center which was in the early,

[00:02:22] early 90s, 91 or 92.

[00:02:24] I think we moved into that.

[00:02:25] So every 33 years or so we build a new building and I won't be around for the next one.

[00:02:33] This is a very big day for Brunswick.

[00:02:35] And so I want to say something that I said when we opened the inclusive playground in

[00:02:39] Nura Park, which is public spaces help to define communities.

[00:02:44] And for a long time our public space for what our fire department was using

[00:02:48] where they lived and worked was not reflective of the values of this community because

[00:02:54] this is a community that values safety forces, that values those who work to serve

[00:03:00] or protect us and what the conditions were frankly abysmal.

[00:03:06] And this was a step towards changing that one that I wish we had taken frankly sooner.

[00:03:11] I want to particularly call out Councilwoman Piper, Councilman Lambert and Councilman

[00:03:17] Smith who as a part of a new council orientation, we took them around to the buildings and

[00:03:24] immediately they brought up how is this possible that this is the condition of the

[00:03:28] fire station.

[00:03:29] And I had no answer.

[00:03:33] And we had at that point, I know we had to go forward and we had to work to do

[00:03:37] this.

[00:03:38] And we all worked together and everyone worked together in the community and the residents

[00:03:44] overwhelmingly supported it.

[00:03:45] And I think they did that because it's reflective of what Brunswick is about.

[00:03:49] And this is going to be a major change in the way that things look and feel.

[00:03:53] Brunswick is doing very well.

[00:03:56] And the way that we treat our safety forces should reflect how the community feels

[00:04:02] about our safety forces.

[00:04:04] All right.

[00:04:05] That is very exciting.

[00:04:06] It is very exciting.

[00:04:08] They're going to be able to respond quicker and have all their assets in one

[00:04:11] location.

[00:04:13] You know, the firefighters are very excited and grateful to the community for passing

[00:04:17] that levy that they needed to make that happen.

[00:04:18] So most definitely.

[00:04:20] Well, keeping an eye on that is that goes on a lot of new building stuff going

[00:04:26] on.

[00:04:27] Yeah.

[00:04:27] And so speaking of construction on Hadcock there, you're just a little speed

[00:04:34] driver down this thing.

[00:04:35] You're like, oh, excited.

[00:04:37] That wasn't me.

[00:04:37] I think that was them.

[00:04:38] Oh, that was somebody else.

[00:04:39] Getting a brand new.

[00:04:40] I thought that was you.

[00:04:42] Getting a brand new driveway.

[00:04:43] That thing was for years.

[00:04:45] Shocks.

[00:04:46] Yeah.

[00:04:47] Years and years.

[00:04:47] For years, it's been bad.

[00:04:49] So if you haven't checked it out, go check out Ignite Brewing or NEO Games,

[00:04:56] Lumberjack, Pax Throwing.

[00:04:59] All in the same building, the courthouse.

[00:05:01] Yeah.

[00:05:01] Something to do.

[00:05:02] Definitely.

[00:05:04] This is so much fun to watch.

[00:05:05] Yeah.

[00:05:06] I'm really enjoying.

[00:05:07] I've never been more excited to watch anything be built.

[00:05:10] Architectural Justice, the winery just going up bit by bit.

[00:05:14] And just some of the things that they're doing are so unique.

[00:05:17] If you're not following their page, just give them a like, follow along.

[00:05:22] Yeah.

[00:05:22] They made these concrete posts out of pores.

[00:05:25] They made boxes to put them in and pour the concrete.

[00:05:28] They actually have a pretty lengthy YouTube video

[00:05:31] that shows how they built those.

[00:05:32] So every little detail that they're doing is quite amazing.

[00:05:37] It is.

[00:05:38] I mean, usually stuff like that's not that exciting to me.

[00:05:41] But I've enjoyed watching that a lot.

[00:05:45] That is all the posts we have for the week.

[00:05:46] But we have tons of events coming up.

[00:05:48] That's it?

[00:05:49] That's it.

[00:05:50] Let's head over to Roger at Houndstown for the pooch of the week.

[00:05:52] Oh, yeah.

[00:05:54] Then we'll be back.

[00:05:57] Hey, Lucas and Kimberly.

[00:05:58] It's Roger from Houndstown with my weekly update for you guys.

[00:06:02] Just letting you know that we have Daylight in here this week.

[00:06:05] He is a 10-month-old terrier pit mix.

[00:06:09] You've got to check out the pictures.

[00:06:11] Go to our Houndstown Brunswick Facebook site.

[00:06:15] Look at the pictures.

[00:06:16] He is just a sweet little boy, 10 months old.

[00:06:19] Truly came right into our facility,

[00:06:22] fit right in with the other dogs in a pack.

[00:06:25] The tail is wagging, loves humans, loves dogs.

[00:06:29] Has done good overnight with us as well.

[00:06:32] So if anybody's interested in adopting him,

[00:06:35] we would love to hear from you.

[00:06:37] Our number here at Houndstown Brunswick is 330-460-3052.

[00:06:43] After today, we do send the pups that aren't adopted out

[00:06:47] back to Brea Animal Rescue for the weekend

[00:06:49] since they have a lot of traffic there on the weekends

[00:06:52] to get them more exposure as well.

[00:06:53] But we'd love to have anybody come in not only

[00:06:56] to check out Daylight but also to check out our facility.

[00:06:59] Remember, we do give anybody their first day

[00:07:02] of doggy daycare free to come in and check us out here.

[00:07:05] They would just need to reach out to us

[00:07:07] to set up an appointment and an evaluation.

[00:07:10] We'll go over all those details if anybody calls.

[00:07:12] And then lastly, just remember, remind everybody

[00:07:16] that not only does Brea Animal Rescue have Daylight

[00:07:20] available for adoption, but they have

[00:07:21] all kinds of other dogs and cats.

[00:07:23] So they have open hours pretty much every day,

[00:07:28] but on the weekends especially,

[00:07:29] you can go to the Brea Animal Rescue site

[00:07:31] to see all of that information.

[00:07:33] But hopefully we find Daylight a home,

[00:07:36] but also know that they've got plenty of other dogs

[00:07:38] and cats up for adoption.

[00:07:39] Hope everybody has a great weekend

[00:07:41] and I will be back at you next week with another update.

[00:07:44] Take care and have a good weekend.

[00:07:47] All right, what a cute pooch.

[00:07:48] Speaking of pooch, puppy yoga, really?

[00:07:52] Puppy yoga June 2nd from 12 to one.

[00:07:56] And that is $15 per ticket.

[00:08:00] Oh, puppy yoga at the farm.

[00:08:02] Sorry, I didn't do that whole thing.

[00:08:05] Part of it is donated, it looks like,

[00:08:06] to Muttley Crew Rescue, correct?

[00:08:09] Yeah. CLE.

[00:08:11] Yeah, $9 of each ticket.

[00:08:12] Nice, very nice.

[00:08:14] So bring your own mat, puppies will be available.

[00:08:17] For adoption or just to play?

[00:08:19] I don't think this is a bring your own puppy thing.

[00:08:21] It's a play with the puppies at the farm.

[00:08:24] That's just so...

[00:08:26] Classified by certified instructors from Chagrin Yoga.

[00:08:29] Oh, we didn't say what farm.

[00:08:31] Oh, it's Red Wagon Farm.

[00:08:33] Yeah, yeah.

[00:08:34] We still do have a few farms around there.

[00:08:36] So that sounds like it could be

[00:08:40] bringing home another dog dangerous.

[00:08:42] Yeah, and they have some great beer there.

[00:08:44] So with one drink included,

[00:08:47] that should be a good time. Wow, that's a really good deal.

[00:08:48] Yeah. A puppy, a beer.

[00:08:51] We don't get to keep the puppy.

[00:08:52] And yoga for $15.

[00:08:54] I'm head over heels.

[00:08:56] Check out their Facebook page for all the details.

[00:08:58] Get your tickets, all that good stuff.

[00:09:01] Very cool.

[00:09:02] Let's talk about beavers.

[00:09:05] The Cleveland Metro Parks is having a beavers world hike

[00:09:09] at the Johnson's Picnic area.

[00:09:11] You can join naturalist Foster Brown

[00:09:13] as they discover the world of beavers

[00:09:15] as they hike around the south end of Hinkley Lake

[00:09:17] and the dammed up backwaters of the Rocky River.

[00:09:21] I'm trying to get excited for that, but I just...

[00:09:24] No, it sounds like fun.

[00:09:25] That is tomorrow, June 1st from 7 a.m. to 8 30.

[00:09:30] No, unfortunately I have to work.

[00:09:31] Aw, darn.

[00:09:33] Not getting up at 7 a.m. for...

[00:09:35] Look at the beavers.

[00:09:36] Not that particular day, but maybe another day

[00:09:39] I'll take my own hike over there.

[00:09:42] All right, what else we got?

[00:09:44] We got, this one is very unique,

[00:09:46] so I had to throw this in here.

[00:09:47] It's Battle Friends Monthly.

[00:09:49] This is Sunday, June 2nd from noon to 5 p.m.

[00:09:53] And that is at Plum Creek Park South.

[00:09:56] It's $5 cash or cash app on site.

[00:09:59] What is it, you ask?

[00:10:00] What is it?

[00:10:01] Lucas, tell us.

[00:10:03] I believe they just get together

[00:10:05] and battle each other with foam swords

[00:10:07] and other things.

[00:10:10] I thought it was like a foam party

[00:10:11] like the kids have after the last day of school

[00:10:13] or something.

[00:10:15] It's seriously people in battle gear, it looks like.

[00:10:19] It says scenario descriptions to soon come.

[00:10:22] But that's put on by Battle Friends Foam Fighting,

[00:10:25] a nonprofit organization who holds monthly events

[00:10:28] here at Plum Creek Park South.

[00:10:30] Who knew?

[00:10:31] Yeah.

[00:10:32] Okay, so let's not call 911

[00:10:34] when you see people with swords

[00:10:35] running around Plum Creek.

[00:10:37] Because you know that's gonna happen.

[00:10:39] Yeah, swords and shields and other gear.

[00:10:42] Nice, that looks like a lot of fun though.

[00:10:44] Tonight at Amy's Arbor's is a Hello Summer Backyard Party.

[00:10:48] Come out and celebrate summer.

[00:10:50] Rock and Rich will be there entertaining everyone.

[00:10:52] Summer cocktails and food as well.

[00:10:55] Amy's Arbor's is in Valley City.

[00:10:57] Check that out tonight.

[00:10:59] Yeah, beautiful little house right there on Center Road.

[00:11:02] So cute.

[00:11:02] Have you ever been there?

[00:11:03] Yes.

[00:11:04] So cute.

[00:11:05] I thought this one was really cool.

[00:11:06] The kids are out of school as of yesterday

[00:11:08] and they're already on our nerves, right?

[00:11:12] So Southwest Baptist Church from June 10th

[00:11:14] through August 9th is going to have a day camp.

[00:11:18] It's $35 per day with lunch included.

[00:11:22] Looks like a drop-in event

[00:11:24] that includes five huge inflatables, free lunch and snacks.

[00:11:29] It's got the sports and gymnasium, swimming, field trips,

[00:11:33] animals, music learning and science fun.

[00:11:35] And I'm not sure if that's every day.

[00:11:37] That's a huge, yeah.

[00:11:40] So that's not just camp for a week.

[00:11:41] That's anybody who needs maybe some...

[00:11:44] Yeah, it says come one day or every day.

[00:11:46] For the kids to do from nine to three.

[00:11:49] Wow.

[00:11:50] Yeah.

[00:11:51] Kudos to them.

[00:11:52] That's a huge project to take on for six weeks.

[00:11:54] Yeah, they must got some good volunteers

[00:11:56] that are helping out with that.

[00:11:58] Let's get to some of the live music

[00:12:00] that we got around town.

[00:12:01] We have Island Troy.

[00:12:04] He's gonna be live Friday, June 7th, next Friday

[00:12:08] from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Tangled Vine.

[00:12:11] Kicking it off there for three hours.

[00:12:13] It's gonna be on the patio, weather permitting.

[00:12:16] Should be nice weather that night.

[00:12:19] What else we got?

[00:12:20] Okay, so then tomorrow night we have No Alternative

[00:12:23] at Manzo's.

[00:12:25] These new glasses are really,

[00:12:27] they're doing me a lot of good.

[00:12:28] Yeah, I know.

[00:12:29] They're Elton John-ish, but I can't see right yet.

[00:12:33] Not used to that.

[00:12:33] Anyway, No Alternative, Saturday at 8 30 p.m.

[00:12:38] They start at Manzo's.

[00:12:40] So if you wanna check them out,

[00:12:41] does it say what kind of music?

[00:12:42] It just says...

[00:12:43] It says great music and delicious booze.

[00:12:44] Delicious booze.

[00:12:46] What more do you need?

[00:12:47] That's right.

[00:12:48] Right?

[00:12:50] We got 16 Strings returning to the backyard.

[00:12:53] That's tonight as well, 8 p.m.

[00:12:56] And then tomorrow night at the backyard is karaoke.

[00:13:00] Nice.

[00:13:00] Starting at six o'clock.

[00:13:02] It's like your grandmother's karaoke, I guess.

[00:13:04] They're gonna start really early.

[00:13:05] So you can go for your...

[00:13:07] Before it gets too cold and too dark.

[00:13:09] Right?

[00:13:10] Yeah, 16 Strings plays semi-acoustic rock.

[00:13:13] That's okay.

[00:13:15] That's all right.

[00:13:16] Maple Side Farm Rocks.

[00:13:18] Looks like they're kicking off

[00:13:19] their summer concert series.

[00:13:21] Friday the 14th, right out of the gate.

[00:13:25] Escape Journey Tribute Band.

[00:13:27] Is it Escape?

[00:13:28] I guess that is Escape.

[00:13:31] Seven o'clock, Friday June 14th.

[00:13:33] Maple Side Farms.

[00:13:36] Check them out.

[00:13:37] I guarantee you that'll sell out.

[00:13:38] Yeah.

[00:13:39] And that's...

[00:13:40] Guarantee you.

[00:13:41] They recreate the 80s era Journey concert.

[00:13:43] Oh my gosh.

[00:13:44] Sounds pretty fun.

[00:13:45] You might find me there.

[00:13:46] Nice view, good music.

[00:13:49] You might find that sounds like a good time actually.

[00:13:51] All right, we're out of music.

[00:13:53] Are we out of music?

[00:13:54] Are we done?

[00:13:55] So I stumbled across this one

[00:13:57] and you were like, huh.

[00:13:58] And I was like, huh, who knew?

[00:14:01] So there is a company in Brunswick

[00:14:04] called DRR Off-Road EV, right?

[00:14:07] Is that the name of the whole company?

[00:14:09] They are having an open house on June 22nd.

[00:14:12] We'll remind you guys again

[00:14:13] because we know that's a couple weeks out yet.

[00:14:15] But they make electric ATVs, I think.

[00:14:19] Yeah, ATVs and off-road EVs.

[00:14:24] I just thought that was so cool.

[00:14:25] The business is right here in Brunswick

[00:14:27] in Industrial Parkway.

[00:14:28] And they will be having that open house June 22nd

[00:14:32] if you wanna go check it out.

[00:14:34] And we'll give you more information.

[00:14:36] We'll update it, but go to their page if you'd like,

[00:14:39] get some information about it.

[00:14:41] But who knew?

[00:14:42] Yeah.

[00:14:43] That's pretty cool.

[00:14:44] Enduro motorcycles too, EV, all EV.

[00:14:47] Everything's EV.

[00:14:49] So very cool.

[00:14:51] And then they said you're gonna be able to test drive it.

[00:14:53] It's gonna be a good time.

[00:14:53] Well, nice to meet you guys.

[00:14:56] This one's just over the Boston Road.

[00:15:00] We have Hinkley Township Movie Night.

[00:15:02] I always enjoy these.

[00:15:03] Took the kids here many times.

[00:15:05] That is tomorrow night at 8 p.m.

[00:15:08] They're gonna show Ice Age

[00:15:09] right on Ridge Road at the Hinkley Police Department.

[00:15:13] Grab a blanket and a lawn chair

[00:15:15] and join on the hill at Brungers Park.

[00:15:18] Popcorn and water, complimentary for everyone.

[00:15:22] Oh, fun, very fun.

[00:15:25] Wanna remind everybody too

[00:15:26] about the community garage sales coming up.

[00:15:29] And that will be the week of like the 19th.

[00:15:33] You can pretty much set your own hours.

[00:15:34] But if you're interested,

[00:15:36] just go to Brunswick Community Garage Sale Event page.

[00:15:39] Under the discussion tab, you can put your address,

[00:15:42] the hours that you're gonna be open.

[00:15:44] There'll be a list of garage sales there.

[00:15:47] They highlight what they're selling,

[00:15:49] all that kind of fun stuff.

[00:15:50] So we're happy to do that again.

[00:15:54] Also wanna remind everybody too

[00:15:55] that Christmas in July is coming up

[00:15:58] and we're getting a full calendar

[00:16:00] with a lot of businesses.

[00:16:02] Nice.

[00:16:02] So stay tuned for that.

[00:16:05] And also during July is,

[00:16:07] I can't believe I'm saying this

[00:16:08] and the kids are just out of school.

[00:16:10] But we're scheduling this stuff now.

[00:16:12] Stuff the Bus is gonna be July 27th.

[00:16:15] Nice.

[00:16:16] So stay tuned.

[00:16:17] You got some great sponsors for that.

[00:16:19] We do.

[00:16:20] Nice.

[00:16:21] You'll get some freebie stuff when you donate this year.

[00:16:24] So we're excited about that.

[00:16:24] Oh, and a lot of people have been asking

[00:16:26] about what's going on at the corner of Boston

[00:16:29] and 130th.

[00:16:31] Right.

[00:16:31] So I'm doing some investigating on that.

[00:16:34] It turns out there's gonna be a fast food restaurant.

[00:16:37] And by the next episode, I should know which one.

[00:16:40] Wah wah.

[00:16:42] Another drive-through.

[00:16:43] Another drive-through.

[00:16:45] Well.

[00:16:46] Hopefully it's a change one, but I'm fearful

[00:16:48] it's gonna be one that we already have three or four of.

[00:16:52] Jeez.

[00:16:54] Well, at least it'll give them something

[00:16:56] on that corner of the town, I guess.

[00:16:58] That's one way to think of it.

[00:16:59] Right.

[00:17:00] And it's a big property so we could probably expect

[00:17:02] other commercial stuff to go there.

[00:17:03] We do wanna remind any millionaires

[00:17:05] that might be listening that there's, you know,

[00:17:07] the old Geeked Out is still available.

[00:17:09] We need a nice sit-down restaurant.

[00:17:11] We have to know somebody that would put one in somewhere.

[00:17:14] So let's see, Geeked Out, where else?

[00:17:16] Where else can they put a restaurant in?

[00:17:17] Hickory Ridge?

[00:17:19] Yeah, I mean.

[00:17:20] You know, there's a couple of them.

[00:17:21] So, you know, reach out.

[00:17:23] We'll help ya.

[00:17:25] You can get a burger named after you.

[00:17:27] Like Lucas is getting a burger named after him at Niners.

[00:17:30] I heard, I gotta reach out to them.

[00:17:30] I heard that we got the name.

[00:17:32] Yeah.

[00:17:33] I just gotta go up there and give it a try.

[00:17:34] Right.

[00:17:35] If it's anything like any of the other burgers.

[00:17:37] We'll tell you guys about it.

[00:17:37] We've got a drink coming out of the backyard.

[00:17:43] Brunswick therapy drink.

[00:17:45] And then Lucas has got his own burger.

[00:17:47] So.

[00:17:49] I feel like Mr. Beast or something.

[00:17:50] We hit the big time.

[00:17:51] Yeah, we could only make a fraction of his money.

[00:17:54] Anyway, that's gonna do it for us this week, you guys.
