Step Right Up in Hudson Ohio is a fun family restaurant - really, two restaurants in one...Donuts in the morning, grilled hot dogs and meals in the afternoon and evening, all affordably priced.
Located at 5929 Darrow Road in Hudson, Step Right Up offers Sahlen's Hot Dogs made specifically to be charcoal grilled over a hot fire. They also grill hamburgers, chicken and sausage. They have french fries, sweet potato fries, onion rings and an array of fresh condiments that include chili, cheese and sauerkraut.
The service is great, and so is the food! I had a regular sized hot dog with stadium mustard, relish, ketchup and yes, onions! Yum! Add lemonade to drink and potato salad, and what a great grilled lunch! Next time I am going to try the sweet potato fries and sliders - they looked and smelled delicious!



The Lococo family is very proud of their place - from the history, theme and signs...

to the charcoal grill...that's Augie, today's grill master...

to the donut machine...too bad I came at the wrong time...free samples when hot sound delicious!!

Owner August Lococo based the restaurant on an amusement park theme with a mural and memorabilia from Geauga Lake. Old signage and pictures from the old Geauga Lake days hang on the walls. Most guests who come in the restaurant have an old memory to share with Lococo. Lococo's father, Gasper, was one of the owners of Geauga Lake before it was sold to Six Flags. When Gasper Lococo retired, he wrote his memoirs in a book titled "Step Right Up", thus came the name of the restaurant.
I left with a smile as I sipped my lemonade - I think you will enjoy Step Right Up in Hudson - let me know what you think! Tell the owners you read about it here!

PatriotTek LLC Computer & Network Services is your IT department. They are the ideal support for small to medium businesses that rely on technology…but do not have their own IT department in-house.
Owner Jay Maloney spent years at a global Fortune 500 company, providing IT support as Facilities Manager. Now he provides network support for businesses and residential clients in the Cleveland-Akron market. His previous background in law enforcement is the foundation for his high standards of service, confidentiality and dependability.
I’ve included some of the letters of recommendation PatriotTek LLC has received over the years. PatriotTek LLC has developed a superb reputation for excellence, prompt service, trustworthy maintenance of confidential data, accessibility, as well as cost effective efficiency.
”As a small business owner, I know how important it is to watch out for the bottom line. I treat my clients the way I would like to be treated,” says Jay.
I am Jay’s wife and Vice President of Sales for PatriotTek LLC, so you might think I am biased…but our letters of recommendation reveal that our clients are positively biased toward the service PatriotTek LLC gives!
PatriotTek LLC is able to provide services not only in Northeast Ohio, but across the country, through remote support, IT outsourcing and site visits. Call or fill out the form below - after all, wouldn’t you like to be able to write a letter like this about your IT provider?

Shisler's Cheese House, home of my favorite wrap in the universe (see below for details)! Actually, it's a great place for the best cheeses, wines and tasty gourmet coffees and treats...but if you don't know about it, you won't notice it. It's off the beaten path, so to speak, on Cleveland Massillon Road, near the railroad tracks, just north of Copley Circle.


The BEST part of stopping at Shisler's is the staff! They are very accessible and helpful - and they know about the cheeses and items offered, so don't be surprised if you can't stump them. Left to right, Dan, Jeryl, Stephanie and Nicci.



The offering of Ohio wines is very appealing, and the employees are great at helping choose the right wines to match your cheese/meal selections. Shisler's also offers wine-tastings, which are great fun! They are very knowledgable about organic wines and have a great selection of beers and ales.




As promised, here is my favorite wrap...turkey, cucumber, tomato, cheese, dab of mayo all on a sundried tomato wrap! With sweet maui onion chips, a deli pickle slice and rootbeer, DELICIOUS!
I always have to take 1/2 home!!!

Shisler's is beautiful inside and out - I recommend that you stop in soon on a sunny day and eat outdoors on the patio. You'll definitely be glad you found it!

Stop by and say hi to owner Rita when in Sugarcreek - what a great lady with such a nice family!

The 2009 Summit County Fair in Tallmadge Ohio! Today was the kickoff of the 2009 Summit County Fair at the fairgrounds on Darrow Road in Tallmadge Ohio!
To find out everything you need to know about the Fair, go to www.summitfair.com. The Summit County Fair is accessible from Howe Ave or Route 91: http://www.mapquest.com/mq/6-OiNcWYztzNNd
Below are our pix from this year's evening at the fair:

The displays in the historical museum were entertaining - we laughed at the fashions from pattern books, marveled at the antiques and enjoyed seeing how things have changed!

This mini rex rabbit was so gentle, and he looks just like he hopped out of Peter Cottontail. So soft!

Grant climbed the rock wall...

You could tell by the horse's demeanor if the rider would do well or not. We saw a couple of horses that were pretty sassy and disqualified their riders!

When our son Grant walked in the barn, all the horses came out to say hi - they know a horsey person when they meet one!

This little guy was so intent and serious about raking the floor - very diligent!
The Midway at the fair - I think the best vendors end up on the main midway - maybe they have to pay more for placement, but they are the best, pricewise and quality wise as for our experience.
These little goats just wanted to get out and play with all the visitors...they couldn't get any closer unless they climbed out!

That is a LIONHEAD RABBIT - yes, I said rabbit. Wow.

Now you are seeing my favorite part of the fair...nighttime and the lights!


Looks like Laura & Tori enjoyed the rides!

Our kids did not love the barn smells, but Jay and I grew up in the country, and it's not a big deal to us.
I guess we are raising city slickers!

This ram was ready to charge - I guess he didn't like the attention...

If you are interested in working as a traveling concession attendant, they are hiring!! Just have to be able to travel!
