If you have enjoyed an exquisite scone, a chai brownie, or a delicious cinnamon roll (all are gluten-free!) here at the Raven, they were freshly made in-house by this wonderful Lady. I love it when she's here. If you have ever had the pleasure of meeting Linda, you know that she is full of sunshine … Continue reading Meet Linda

Bird Art, Out and About
Did you get a chance to stop in at the Art Studio 1219 Hands On Art event this past Saturday? It was a wonderful time! Perhaps you made a piece of raven art with the help of these lovely volunteers? I made one myself, and let me tell you: navigating around those feathers with safety … Continue reading Bird Art, Out and About

Art, Music, Food, Fun & Community

For those unfamiliar with the semiannual event, the Art Hop page describes the event thusly: "Art Hop is a night of art, music food, fun and community. A mini-sidewalk festival inspired event, Art Hop brings the … Continue reading Art, Music, Food, Fun & Community

One of my favorite things about this place (and I assure you, there is a rather long list of favorite things that I have about this place) is that creativity is encouraged here. If you have visited recently, you may have noticed folded bits of paper strewn about upstairs. In any other place, this may … Continue reading Let’s Get Creative

Coffee as a Bad Guy?
I recently came across an article about a sultan that would behead people for drinking coffee. Not making this up. The name of this Turkish ruler was Sultan Murad IV, and he did not mess around. Apparently there was a fear that those who drank coffee were keen on conspiring to overthrow the government. The … Continue reading Coffee as a Bad Guy?
New Arrivals
Fans of horror, rejoice! We just got some new friends in today! When you come upstairs, you may notice that the first featured shelf that you see has been tweaked a bit. Jody was recently gifted with a box full of Rue Morgue magazines, and generously decided to share the boon with all of us! … Continue reading New Arrivals
