I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
Here at OnlyInYourState, there’s nothing we love more than supporting small businesses. These places make up the cultural patchwork of the United States, offering a literal taste of local flavors in everything from restaurants and accommodations to boutiques and specialty shops. In Cleveland, Madison Avenue is the epitome of shopping local in Ohio; one could happily spend the day perusing the myriad book, art, and quirky shops along this stretch of street.
Madison Avenue, but make it Ohio. While New York's Madison Avenue is acclaimed for its world-class shopping, Ohio's Madison Avenue is, in our opinion, equally delightful and worth exploring.
