  • Mizu Sushi Coventry to Open Nov. 3rd – Cleveland Scene

    Mizu Japanese Restaurant will open in the Cleveland Heights space that long housed Hunan Coventry (1800 Coventry Rd.) on Monday, November 3rd. Hunan closed earlier this summer after a remarkable 38-year run.

    Lily Li opened the original Mizu (10219 Brookpark Rd., 216-898-0098) in Parma 15 years ago. That eatery has earned a loyal following thanks to its extensive menu of sushi, bento boxes, hot pots, noodles bowls and Japanese entrees.

    When it opens its doors, Mizu will join a host of other Asian restaurants and shops on the street, including Pacific East, One Pot, Soba, Tree Country, Pho & Rice, High Thai’d, Seafood Shake and Koko Bakery. It’s no wonder why some in the neighborhood have come to call Coventry “Asiatown East.”

  • After Multiple Thefts, Parma Places Tracking Tags on Flamingo Statues – Cleveland Scene

    Long seen as a punchline against the working-class suburb, and then long celebrated as an unofficial symbol of city pride, the pink flamingo has taken its rightful place as the official mascot of Parma.

    In a recent ceremony at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, Mayor Tim DeGeeter and members of city council signed the ceremonial resolution that coincided with the bird’s starring role in Parma’s bicentennial logo, which was designed by a local resident.

    “Parma residents love their flamingos,” DeGeeter said. “What began as a joke in the 1960s aimed at residents adorning their front yards with flamingo lawn ornaments has been embraced over the years by the community. In fact, we have two large flamingo sculptures on display in Parma. One is at our Anthony Zielinski Park next to our script Parma sign. The other is in Quarry District.” 

    The 7-foot-tall statues were immediate hits upon installation, with residents and visitors flocking for photos. They were so popular, in fact, that they were theft targets not once but twice. Four months after the most recent incident, where two young Valley View men made off with the statue from the Quarry District, the pink icon has been replaced. With upgrades for it and its sibling.

    “Both the birds at the Quarry District and Anthony Zielinski Park are tagged,” DeGeeter told Cleveland.com. “So, God forbid, if there’s a third attempt from a knucklehead to try to heist it, we’ll be able to go right to their front door and retrieve the bird.”

    So beware, would-be ne’er-do-wells, there is nothing but trouble lurking in those innocent pink birds. Observe, appreciate, snap a pic, but hands off.
