The walls of Black Honey Dessert and Coffeehouse are covered in a pop-culture maelstrom that touches on Warhol and The Sex Pistols and even features visual cues to Shepard Fairey and the London Underground.
The 11th Annual Peterborough Ribfest features succulently prepared ribs and sauces, but among the meaty festivities and sweet-smelling smoke, there will be even more to enjoy at Millennium Park this weekend.
There will be eclectic offerings from great local restaurants, including The Shish-Kabob Hut, The Works, Dr. Hunger, Island Cream Caribbean Cuisine, The Nutty Chocolatier, Ariyana, and The Silver Bean Cafe.
After all of the great food, you’ll certainly want to leave room for the excellent array of free live music featured in the park all weekend.

Ontario strawberries are widely available and they’re a sure sign that summer is finally here.
When I was a teenager, I wasn’t very open minded. I grew up in a small farming town surrounded by other small farming towns. Most everyone in town was white, and the only thing considered taboo was if your neighbour bought a car that didn’t say Ford, Dodge or Chevrolet on the hood.

Situated amidst the backdrop of the Rotary Trail in the historic village of Ashburnham, the appropriately named Ashburnham Ale House is a reflection of all that the Woods hold near and dear: food and drink made in the time-honoured traditions of smoking, curing, and small-batch brewing, shared amongst friends and community in a setting that’s warm and welcoming.

The Planet: Earth.
The Epidemic: Hollywood continues to eat itself alive with remakes, becoming so violently pervasive that the more-palatable nom de guerre “reboot” has been aggressively adopted.
Reboots generally transpire in the once-fledgling superhero genre: when a franchise grows stale — or worse, gets off to a financially disastrous false start — it is swiftly given a complete whitewash to eradicate any former memories of its inferior incarnations.
There are successful reboots (J.J. Abrams’ deliriously entertaining Star Trek resurrection) and not-so-successful reboots (last summer’s all-but-ignored The Amazing Spider-man; no, I didn’t watch it either).

Inspired and named after her grandfather’s farm in rural Ontario, Clover touches on the relationship between farming and working as a musician.
