Hey all! Welcome to another episode of “Mr. P.’s Tales from the Road!” And a HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and yours! In this first episode of a new fifth season, I’m diving into what is sort of an obscure topic right here in my hometown of Cleveland, Ohio, and expounding on a place that is sadly now long gone (the remnants of which are also being torn down as we speak). A place of artistic inspiration, community togetherness and a spark of Rust Belt ingenuity that gave so many others joy and a little bit of gritty wonderment in a time when things were maybe not at their best. I’m talking here about the TEMPLE OF LOST LOVE, an underground art installation that once existed in the Cleveland Flats along the Cuyahoga River (under a bridge that is ALSO about to become extinct). A little known and interesting topic that I sort of fell down the rabbit hole on, so get yourself a mug of warm hot chocolate, nuke some taquitos in the microwave, settle in wherever you are, listen in and enjoy the show! Have a great week and we’ll see you in the next episode! -Mr. P.
