Murder Mystery at the Historic Mariemont Inn!

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 11:06:20 -0500

Enjoy an evening of humor and fun. Our Murder Mystery Dinner Show is interactive and more entertaining than a serious investigation. Produced by Crime Time Theatre, one of Cincinnati's leading theatre companies for the past nine years, these events sell out very quickly!

Our dinner theatre events feature outrageous storylines, plenty of laughs, and audience participation as you try to guess "whodunit!". The murderer could be one of the actors, a dinner guests at the next table, or maybe even you! As the night progresses, interactions between guests and the actors will create unique entertainment that everyone will enjoy.

Everything going sweet for new business

Mon, 01 Jun 2009 12:51:23 -0500

I walked into The Sweeterie, Mariemon't newest business that makes homemade pastries and cookies, and I had to wait in line for several minutes just to ask owner Susan Woodard-Knabb a few questions.

"This long line means business must be going good," I said to Woodard-Knabb, donned in an apron with plastic gloves on her hands. "Oh yes, it has been going well," she replied. The pastry shop, located in The Strand just above The Dilly Dilly, has been open for just over a month.

New threads and styles available

Mon, 25 May 2009 12:54:08 -0500

With the arrival of the spring and summertime seasons, let's not forget that the comfortable weather calls for comfortable clothing and seasonal home decorations to match.

Be sure to visit Sara Benjamin's, Mariemont's designer boutique, and The Shop Around the Corner, the village's premiere interior decoration shop, for the latest seasonal fashions.

Both stores are receiving new styles and fashions for the current seasons that are a must see.

An experience worth the time

Wed, 20 May 2009 12:53:20 -0500

Seven men of a wedding party have just left the Mariemont Barber Shop with a full shave, cut and steam towel treatment in preparation for their friend's (the groom) big day.

That is not an unusual seen at the barber shop. In fact, it is becoming commonplace.

More and more parties of gentlemen and coming to the barber shop for old-fashioned treatment.

New Business sounds Sweet

Fri, 03 Apr 2009 09:42:28 -0500

On Saturday, April 4, The Sweeterie will be opening its oven doors and then opening its front doors to the public.

Susan Woodard-Knabb is the purveyor of Mariemont's new pastry parlor and will be hosting an Open House so the public can get a taste of what The Sweeterie will be serving up.

The Sweeterie will be specializing in decorative cupcakes, cutout cookies and high-end seasonal candies.
