By (Urban) DesignMuch is often made of the live-work-

play concept. In some cases, the phrase – typically used to describe

an area that offers all the necessary amenities within close proximity – is based more on hope than in reality. Offi cials and planners eager to have their community viewed as an attractive destination to Millennials or other demographics will use the term when that dynamic may not exist, reducing “live-work-play” to a mere marketing slogan.

But in other cases, certain cities, neighborhoods and districts get it right. Certain places develop such an effective mix of residential opportunities, retail and dining options and arts institutions that people naturally gravitate to them – no marketing slogans needed.

Uptown is one of those places.Just fi ve years after breaking ground in

2010, Uptown has revitalized the stretch of Euclid Avenue just north of Mayfi eld Road in University Circle, turning spaces that once were parking lots into, collectively, a vibrant destination. The transformation is impressive, but don’t just take my word for it: Uptown is one of fi ve fi nalists for the 2015 Rudy Bruner Award for Urban Excellence.

As for living in Uptown, the mixed-use buildings feature modern apartments above the street-level retail, and the Cleveland Institute of Art recently unveiled its new Uptown Residence Hall for students. (Completion of the project means that for the fi rst time in decades, CIA will operate a combined campus.)

Surrounded by Case Western Reserve University, University Hospitals, Cleveland Clinic and the many world-class cultural institutions and art schools that dot University Circle, the “work” component is easy to see.

It’s the “play” aspect that we share with you in this issue of Jstyle. Uptown brought

to the area a critical mass of dining, arts and entertainment options, a few of which we explore in this issue’s fashion shoot. Uptown also has effectively incorporated public spaces, providing the district a kind of kinetic energy, if you will, that’s emblematic of true urban living.

Add to that Uptown’s placement along the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority’s HealthLine, and it’s easy to access from downtown or elsewhere. In a sense, the district also has helped bridge the gap between Wade Oval and Little Italy, making it easy for people to spend an entire day in the area.

Downtown Cleveland is the center of much of the buzz the city is receiving these days – and deservedly so. But with Uptown cementing its place in University Circle, Cleveland’s “second downtown” is equally deserving – and truly one of Cleveland’s newest and brightest gems.

Fresh ideas for spring

Give your beauty routine a refreshing update this spring with new products available throughout Greater Cleveland.

ScentConsider investing in a light perfume scent to complement spring’s warm weather. Le Pleiadi, the latest release by Italian perfumery i Profumi di Firenze, combines bouquets of violets, rose, hyacinth, iris, orange blossom, vanilla orchid and heliotrope that give “a perfect ode to spring,” says Ann Onusko, owner of Indigo Perfumery.

HairLoose beach-waves are always a favorite

hairstyle for spring. This “messy- but-sexy” style is easily achieved by applying

Bumble and bumble’s new Surf Infusion spray, which mixes tropical oils and

texturing sea salts.

MakeupFor a soft, fresh face, try Mirabella Beauty’s new spring collection, Wildfl ower. “Wildfl ower mixes warm and cool shades, making this collection ideal for all skin tones,” says Amber Bowen, Mirabella creative director.

MakeupIf you’re looking for an eye shadow palette that won’t

smudge during outdoor activities, look no further. Blinc recently launched Shadow Fusion,

its fi rst-ever eye shadow palette. Shadow Fusion’s special formula prevents smudging, creasing and fading.

Dear Elana, I’ve had it with online dating! I was corresponding with one man who seemed promising, but he disappeared after a few email exchanges. I have no idea what happened, but I imagine he met someone else and didn’t have the courtesy to tell me. I’ve sent a few messages to men I’m interested in, but I haven’t heard back from most of them. The emails I get tend to be from men who are young enough to be my son, old enough to be my father, or are just plain creepy. Am I doing something wrong, or is online dating only for the lucky few?

– Lost in Cyberspace

Dear Lost, Online dating is a great way to meet single men – but it’s not magic. You have the opportunity to expand your social circle, but you run into the same kind of guys you meet in the non-digital world. You’ll fi nd the nice Jewish lawyer your mom keeps telling you about, the self-obsessed musician you just know you could fi x, and the shameless guy at the bar who stares at your legs. They’re all there, glowing and glowering through your computer monitor: the dreamboats, the bores and the pervs. You’ve got to wade through the sea of fi sh to fi nd your gefi lte.

At the end of the day, online dating is a numbers game. According to Walter Hickey of Business Insider, both men and women tend not to respond to most of the emails they receive on dating sites. On average, women on dating sites respond to emails only 4 percent of the time, while men respond a little more at 18 percent of the time. Sure, a witty profi le with great photos can increase your success rates, but you still need to be persistent and smart.

Here are some tried and true strategies to increase your dateability online:

Step 1: First, create a memorable username that describes an aspect of your

personality. Don’t include your real name, or any numbers. For example, Sam0207 suggests little effort or creativity, while QuantumMechanic is a clever username for an auto enthusiast who moonlights as an amateur astronomer. Similarly, Rachel440 will elicit less attention than ItTakes2ToMango for a tropical horticulturist who likes to dance.

Once you’re satisfi ed with your username, you’re ready to write the text of your profi le.

Step 2: Include details that appeal to the senses and connect to your matches emotionally. Instead of the cliché phrase, “My family and friends are important to me,” try, “Sharing stories from the week around the Shabbat table is one of my favorite traditions. I get a kick out of watching my 2-year-old newphew gnaw on a piece of challah while my dog tries to catch the crumbs. It’s the most peaceful way to start the weekend. I would love to invite you one day.”

Step 3: Keep it light; don’t advertise your fl aws or baggage in your dating profi le.

Instead of, “I’m a busy professional with limited time to date,” try, “As a pastry chef at a major Cleveland restaurant, my evenings and weekends are fi lled with pies, tarts and custards. I’d love to meet a guy whom I can spoil with delicious brunches while we complete the Times’ Sunday crossword puzzle together.”

Step 4: Finally, select photographs of yourself that accurately represent your appearance (on a good day, with soft lighting). Include the following snapshots: a close-up of your face, a full-body shot to show your fi gure, and a couple of images to start a conversation, such as vacation photos or hobby shots. A photograph of you playing the clarinet on stage or skiing down the slopes will elicit more interest than a collection of selfi es in your bathroom mirror.

Lastly, don’t give up. If you keep searching, your beshert will be found.

CLE in HOLLYWOOD

Several former Clevelanders are leaving their mark on Tinseltown

By Carlo Wolff


et’s start with Ehrlich, a 1960 Cleveland Heights High School graduate who moved to Los Angeles in 1976. A “reasonably observant Jew” who attended Park Synagogue before he left Northeast Ohio in 1964 after earning a journalism degree from Ohio University, Ehrlich spent 12 years in Chicago in public relations and production. He’s come a long

way: In January, Ehrlich got his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

At ease with celebrities, Ehrlich has been a communicator since the 1960s, covering high school sports for the Sun Press and generating a high school sports report for AM radio station WHK, a Top 40 powerhouse.

“Dealing with high-maintenance talent is not easy but is its own reward,” he says. “When the end product is something like the Stevie Wonder salute we did a couple of months ago or a number of great ‘Grammy moments,’ it’s all worth it.”

“I’ve always loved telling stories,” says Todd Lieberman, a Pepper Pike native who graduated from Hawken School in 1991 and earned a degree in psychiatry from the

University of Pennsylvania in 1995. Lieberman, who became a bar mitzvah at B’nai Jeshurun Congregation in Pepper Pike, looks back fondly on the early ’90s, when he worked at Flix, a video store on Chagrin Boulevard. “Every night I was able to take home two free rentals,” he recalls. “I took full advantage of that.”

As partner and co-owner of Mandeville Films and Television, Lieberman has been involved with such feature fi lms as “The Fighter,” a 2010 fi lm starring Mark Wahlberg, Amy Adams, Christian Bale and Melissa Leo (the latter two were Oscar winners) and “The Muppets,” a 2011 musical comedy. “I love uplifting endings,” he says.

The whole process mesmerizes Matt Rhodes, another Pepper Pike native. His former company, Mandalay Vision, produced “The Voices,” and his

� is is a story of Clevelanders – producers, actors, writers and

directors – pursuing their dreams in Hollywood. It is a story of

risk-taking, vision and perseverance. � e characters span

into entertainment. � ese are glimpses of making it in

Los Angeles, the heart of the fi lm industry.


current company, Bold Films, produced “Nightcrawler” and “Whiplash”; both received 2014 Oscar considerations. Rhodes likes the “blur” between his work and his personal life.

“I love producing movies and television,” he says. “I love story-telling. I love using my imagination. As a producer, I have the opportunity to choose what stories I want to tell and how I am going to tell them. And I love the challenge fi guring out how to put them together and making it happen.”

In 1991, after his freshman year at Ohio University, Rhodes went to Los Angeles for the summer, busing there with $800, a suitcase and a guitar. He stayed in a hotel and sneaked onto studio lots, risking a bust. A security guard urged him to visit Raleigh Studios, which was fi lming “Single White Female.” He got an internship on the spot, and it’s been uphill since then, Rhodes says. One big break was working as an assistant to Scott Rudin at Scott Rudin Productions, helping on such fi lms as “Clueless” and “The Truman Show.”

When Rhodes lived here, his family attended Suburban Temple Kol-Ami in Beachwood. His southern California clan attends Kehillat Israel in Pacifi c Palisades.

“Just being Jewish doesn’t have a large impact on my role as part of the entertainment community,” he says. “However, being Jewish and understanding ‘tikkun olam’ (repair the world) has helped me personally grow and succeed in my life and my work as a father, husband and producer in the entertainment community.”

“I am still trying to fi gure out my religious label,” says talent scout Amy Slomovits. “I am more spiritual than religious, but we do ‘celebrate’ Shabbat every Friday night and Saturday and all of the holidays are a big deal in our household.”

A 1991 graduate of Orange High School who earned a bachelor’s degree in telecommunications from Ohio University in 1995, Slomovits grew up in South Euclid and Orange and was always “passionate about TV and fi lm.”

A supportive family and heavily used

home video camera helped nurture her career, as did “how hilarious my family is. I was convinced Woody Allen was a part of my family.”

Slomovits recently joined Haven Entertainment from Evolution Entertainment, bringing along such clients as “Saturday Night Live” alumna Michaela Watkins, “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” star Kaitlin Olson and Kyle Bornheimer of “Bachelorette.” Watkins and another Haven client, Charlotte Newhouse, who stars in the Comedy Central series “Idiotsitter,” are Jewish.

“I tend to gravitate toward comedic talent,” she says. “My gauge is if someone can make me laugh out loud, there is something there, because I don’t give away laughs for free. I love the writer/performer type because in addition to looking for existing opportunities, we can develop and create content together.”

Jessy Leigh is even newer to the business than Slomowits. A 2006 graduate of Brush High School in Lyndhurst, Leigh has lived in Los Angeles since 2012. She launched the

production company Clever Girl Films, wrote and directed the short fi lm, “Letters to ‘R,’” and wrote and starred in “Goodbye, Ohio,” shot in Chagrin Falls last fall. “Goodbye, Ohio” is in post-production and will be submitted to festivals for the upcoming season. (Full disclosure: Leigh is the daughter of Barbara Smith of South Euclid and Marc Smith of Parma Heights. Barbara Smith is the cousin of Kevin S. Adelstein, publisher and CEO of the Cleveland Jewish Publication Company .)

“I’m 100 percent still working my way up in the business,” says Leigh. “You meet people on a project and they recommend you for another project, which is really cool. Also, just staying motivated and working hard is the best way to ensure more work in the future. It’s more accessible now than ever to fi lm your own projects, and creating your own work is a good way to get yourself out there.”

Leigh, who has always had “a huge imagination” and considers movies magical, says succeeding in the fi eld is hard work.

“The hardest part of being an actress is staying positive during the down times,” she says. “It’s funny, because one week you can be auditioning every day, on set and extremely busy, but the next week you’ll have absolutely nothing going on. Also, a lot of casting decisions are completely out of your control and can come down to your hair being too dark or too light. It’s easy to feel lost in this business, but when you love it, you just got to keep pushing through.”

Focus and getting into a routine are the key challenges in writing, she says. So is “creating interesting characters that people want to know more about.”

Pushing through also is a concern for Bryan Wynbrandt, a 2000 Ohio State University graduate who majored in English and minored in Yiddish. The 1996 Beachwood High School graduate is co-executive producer and writer on “Hawaii Five-0,” and also wrote for such shows as “Alcatraz” and “Kyle XY.”

“I’ve been interested in writing TV/fi lm since I can remember,” says the Beachwood native, who used to

attend B’nai Jeshurun Congregation. “My passion wasn’t one or the other. I just wanted to write in Hollywood in either medium. I moved to LA in 2000 just before the so-called Golden Age of TV began. Shows like ‘The Shield,’ ‘The Sopranos’ and ‘Mad Men’ were either just starting to air or hadn’t even (aired) yet. At that time I was working in TV production as a production assistant. I saw the wind blowing toward TV and took its current. Started focusing all my energy on getting staffed on any show. I got my fi rst staff gig on ‘Kyle XY’ in 2005.

“The work is extremely hard, but it’s craft, so it doesn’t feel like ‘work.’ It just feels like taking your brain to the J and working it out all day, every day. It can get exhausting. The most diffi cult aspect is self-doubt. As a writer, it’s healthy to question your choices. But it can be taxing. At some point you just have to pick a direction and go with it, but that’s not always an easy thing to do because there may be many paths to tell a story and more than one might be right.” js

LABOR OF LOVE | HUMMUSFOOD

AsDouglas Katz strides on stage at “Planting the Seed,” he can’t stop grinning. The resplendent fi fth-fl oor ballroom of the historic Alcazar Hotel is packed. After happily milling about for nearly an hour, the crowd fi lls banquet table after banquet table to the brim.

All are gathered to support Cleveland Heights, Katz’s home of 18 years.

This is a special moment for the renowned chef behind fi re food & drink in Cleveland’s Shaker Square neighborhood and Provenance at the Cleveland Museum of Art.

A year earlier, he helped found “We Are Cleveland Heights,” a group dedicated to promoting the city.

So, what is Cleveland Heights?This, “Planting the Seed,” is Cleveland Heights – and

Cleveland Heights can throw one heck of a party.“It’s really important to tell the positive stories of our

community,” Katz says. “I don’t think anyone is really telling those.”

Called to serveKatz wasn’t necessarily looking for something to do. He’s a busy man.

But tikkun olam – Hebrew for “repairing the world” – lies deep in the Jewish soul and Cleveland Heights needed a little tikkun olam after two negative stories captured headlines in 2014: the June shooting of Brennan’s Colony owner Jim Brennan and the October arson of Katz’s own Katz Club Diner.

“That’s what drives me and that’s what guides me to be a part of the community and to be a team player and to be someone who helps other people,” Katz says. “We want to use our abilities to make change for a positive.”

Katz and his neighbors worry Cleveland Heights is being miscast.

Chef Douglas Katz, center, is joined by fellow chefs while preparing the dish representing Katz’s fi re food & drink, which served as Planting the Seed’s main entrée. Among the event’s hors d’oeuvres were local cheddar tarts with red pepper chutney and micro basil as well as gougères with caramelized onions and goat cheese, pictured below from left to right.



more potent than each of us as individuals.”

Opening meetings attracted perhaps 30 to 40 people. Given the busy schedules of the entrepreneurs involved, follow-up meetings drifted into the single digits. Still, they planned a get-together with kids, dogs and games at Cain Park this past summer.

Then came “Planting the Seed,” probing at a heart far from the headlines, showing a Cleveland Heights that isn’t defi ned by a midday armed robbery or a midnight arson.

“There is so much going on here, between the arts and the music and the food,” Blackman says.

It’s beautiful, hilly streets. It’s small businesses shopping homemade wares. It’s art, culture and pleasantry, scattered about in a very accessible way.

“It allows for so many other stories that you wouldn’t have otherwise if you were less connected with the people or if there wasn’t (that) walkability,” says Katz, noting the latter is one of his favorite aspects of the city. “That’s what makes Cleveland Heights so special.”

Hard workSurrounding Katz at a T-shaped table in the

green-accented bowels of the Alcazar Hotel are Brian Linihan and Alicia Marotta Linihan of the Lee Road staple Marotta’s and (Cleveland Heights residents) Nolan Konkoski and Molly Smith of the Ohio City hotspot SOHO Kitchen & Bar.

For those used to watching television shows like “Chopped” and “Hell’s Kitchen,” it is a strange scene. Instead of fl ushed faces and curse words, there is a collegiality more reminiscent of an NBA All-Star Game or corporate boardroom.

“We can be competitors in our businesses, but an evolution as an entrepreneur is understanding that you need each other and that you cannot survive on your own,” Katz says.

With Katz gently instructing his comrades on how to apply the mustard-chicken jus to his garlic chicken sausage, the dishes pour out. There is the fl avorful spaetzle and spinach medley accompanying Katz’s

dish. The Lake Erie Creamery chevre topping Marotta’s pasta proves wonderfully rich. SOHO’s Sweet Grass Camembert grits shatter stereotypes. The taste of sweet potatoes soaked in an even sweeter Vidalia broth delights the taste buds long after the fi nal bite.

Guests arriveSeeds matter. Statements matter.

At a time when downtown Cleveland, Ohio City, Tremont and Lakewood are experiencing eye-popping growth, no community can afford to rest on its laurels.

“We used to be a destination spot – I think we still are – but obviously there are a lot more destination spots now around the city,” Blackman says.

“Planting the Seed” is that statement.

Whether it is the sharp, powerful Prosecco greeting guests at the entrance, courtesy of The Wine Spot on Lee Road, or the handcrafted

sugar cookies and French macarons from Luna Bakery Café on Fairmount Boulevard ending the evening, “Planting the Seed” packs a powerful punch.

For Freddy Scott, an event attendee about to move back to Cleveland Heights with her husband from two hours south, “Planting the Seed” only amplifi es her excitement.

“It feels very much like a community,” Scott says.

A Jewish heartScott may be on to something.

“It’s like an extended family,” Blackman says. “That’s why you look out for each other. It’s not only about personal gain or growth. It’s about the overall gain or growth.”

A lot of it comes back to simple Jewish values.

They planted the seed for Katz’s life – just as a Thursday night dinner plants the seed for a greater Cleveland Heights. js

Clockwise from top: Katz thanks the crowd for attending; a fi nished version of Katz’s housemade garlic chicken sausage, sauteed spaetzle, spinach, mush-rooms and mustard-chicken jus; frangipane tarts from Luna Bakery Café served as one of the desserts.

Increasingly found in a wider variety of fl avors and places, traditional hummus remains a tasty go-to dish

HummingHummingALONG


Once a niche product, hummus has been fi nding its way into more

and more American kitchens in recent years. The Middle Eastern spread occupies entire shelves at local supermarkets these days too, and has become a fi xture on many restaurant menus.

Of course, none of this likely comes as a surprise to many Jewish households – in Cleveland or elsewhere – long familiar with the appetizing combination of ground chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice and other ingredients.

Still, whether it’s the proliferation of fl avors or the way in which it’s touted as a healthy alternative to condiments such as mayonnaise, hummus can be found in nearly 20 percent of U.S. households, according to a 2015 food and beverage trend report by consulting company Baum + Whiteman.

Issi Ashwal, who owns Issi’s Place in South Euclid, has witnessed hummus’ uptick in popularity. He attributes some of its recent success simply to market trends.

“People are always trying to bring something new to America,” he says. “Hummus has been in America for a while, but it didn’t become that popular because it wasn’t available all over. Every few years people bring something new to the market.”

Ashwal knows good hummus. Before immigrating to America, he operated a restaurant in Israel in the mid-’80s. There was a strong demand for good hummus, he says, recalling one restaurant in Haifa known for its hummus as well as another restaurant in Akko.

“People used to bring me their hummus to taste it and see if I could fi gure out how to make it close to theirs. I fi nally came up with a recipe by tasting others,” he says.

After using hundreds of pounds of chickpeas and spending a month experimenting, Ashwal fi nally came up with his own hummus recipe.

“The people from the places that made the best hummus came to my restaurant to taste mine because they heard I made very good hummus,” Ashwal recalls. “It was very interesting to see people come into my restaurant to fi gure out how I came up with the recipe.”

It’s that same hummus recipe that Ashwal now uses at Issi’s Place. The restaurant, which opened in 1999, started out as a pizza shop, but one of the fi rst items on the menu was hummus. The menu now boasts several hummus dishes, including a traditional hummus plate served with fresh pita bread and a hummus pita with lettuce and tomato. A scoop of hummus also can be added to any salad served at the restaurant.

So what makes a hummus stand out from the rest?

“Tahini and the quality of the chickpeas,” Ashwal says. “The chickpeas have to be the right kind. The best tahini is still made like in ancient times with stones. It tastes different if you make it using machines.”

Although it’s relatively new in America, hummus has long been a staple in Israeli cuisine, partly because it’s a simple and inexpensive food to make.

“Going back to the old days, people didn’t have the varieties they have now with different meats or chicken,”

Ashwal explains. “Israel was a very poor country back then, so most families in the ’60s and ’70s made dishes with fl our and pita bread, because it was cheap. Chickpeas were also cheap. In the Middle East, most hummus is served with just olive oil and pine nuts.”

The growing popularity of hummus in America is due in part to the availability of unique fl avors. Ingredients such as beets, roasted red peppers, olives, pesto and curry are being used to create a twist on regular hummus.

“Everyone wants to add something and make it different. Being in this business, every time I make something, someone always asks for a different version,” Ashwal says.

Even with all the different fl avors of hummus in the market, Ashwal is confi dent that people will still prefer – and request – traditional hummus.

“It’s the same thing as pizza,” he says. “You make a pizza with cheese and tomato sauce. Even if you make a gourmet pizza, the original will always be the original. It’s the foundation. People always think they can change and add to things, but they always go back to the original.” js

HummingIssi Ashwal, owner of Issi’s Place in South Euclid, combines chick peas, tahini and lemon juice to make his hummus. The fi nished product is garnished with paprika and served with pita, falafel, schug and a salad.

Four Seasons 4 draws residents by offering updated approach to suburban living

Story by Carlo Wolff | Photography by Michael C. Butz

FOUR SEASONS 4 | GET THE LOOK | ROOM SERVICEDÉCOR


“From the day I moved in, everybody’s been amazing,” she says. “This is the best decision I ever made.”

For Uhrman, whose enthusiasm for her new digs is palpable, occupying a suite at Four Seasons 4 meant a welcome change in lifestyle. The new structure – smoke-free, pet-friendly and under continuous surveillance – is a place for people who want the suburban experience, resort-style and service-rich.

With all of its amenities, it’s a place to retreat to and at the same time engage in. Outside, too, especially once the fi re pits and kitchen are installed on the cabana area overlooking the pool.

Four Seasons 4 is an upscale, gated apartment community offering 141 customized one-, two- and three-bedroom suites

spanning 903 and 2,500 square feet. The $16 million project, a joint development of Beachwood-based fi rms Goldberg Companies and Wolf Investments, opened last fall. Sporting expansive windows, ceilings 9 and 10 feet high, in-suite laundries and furnished guest suites for friends and family, it is the fi rst addition to the Four Seasons complex on George Zeiger Drive in 26 years.

“When Four Seasons 4 was developed, we wanted to ensure every lifestyle wish-list item from residents was met – we envisioned the perfect living space without the responsibilities of owning a home,” says Goldberg Companies Director of Marketing Christine Venaleck. Location and services also make Four Seasons 4 unique, says Venaleck.

She also views it as an alternative to the urban lifestyle enjoying such resurgence in Cleveland.

“Right now, downtown Cleveland apartment occupancy is estimated at over 95 percent, and living in the epicenter can offer obstacles such as battling traffi c and crowds,” she says. “The perfect solution is a vast, all-inclusive community located a stone’s throw

Anita B. Uhrman, top, has enjoyed the modern design and amenities at Four Seasons 4.

two days after moving into Four Seasons 4, the new addition to a venerable Beachwood apartment community, Anita B. Uhrman feels at home. Uhrman was tired of shoveling snow off the porch of her Moreland Hills home, sick

of knocking down the icicles, particularly this winter. She’s already used to the warmth and convenience of Four Seasons 4. The services? Uhrman loves them.



away from downtown, and in that regard Four Seasons 4 epitomizes the ‘apartment made perfect.’”

Four Seasons 4 is indeed calming, high-tech and comfortable. The tone is neutral; each unit is painted in soothing Agreeable Grey, a color that underlines the spaciousness, particularly in the massive Infi nity Suite with its his and hers tiled, dual-sink bathrooms, his and hers walk-in closets, state-of-the-art kitchen with stainless steel appliances and premium glass-tile backsplash, and a private balcony.

Prices range from $1,625 a month for a one-bedroom suite to $5,000 for an executive suite. There are 287 heated underground parking spaces (along with a charging station for electric cars) as well as spaces for residents who prefer surface parking.

Uhrman, meanwhile, has plenty of room in her penthouse suite. A Columbia University-educated accountant, Uhrman loves Beachwood, always has. “I

wanted a location that I could walk to places,” she says. “My fi rst home when I got married was in Beachwood, and I love the location.”

All her clients live on the East Side, so Four Seasons 4 is convenient, particularly with its fi rst-fl oor conference room and teleconference capabilities.

Uhrman had looked into homes being built behind Acacia Reservation and at Three Village Condominiums in Lyndhurst across from Legacy Village, but she didn’t want to buy or own anymore, even though, she says, renting wasn’t in her genes.

“The tradeoff between the fi nancial benefi ts of owning and how many services I receive here for renting” tilted her toward the latter.

And there’s the service.“They help you with

groceries and heavy packages,” she says, adding another reason for the move stemmed from some health issues she experienced in the past few years. “My dog, Nola, knows everybody,” she

says. “I was very nervous about the idea of renting,” she adds, noting she hasn’t rented since her college days.

Not an issue. “I felt at home the fi rst

time I slept here.”Catherine Johnson,

community manager for Four Seasons 4, came to the new Beachwood development from a similar property downtown. She’s been on property since September, “right before the building opened.”

The building offers concierge services and even has a customer-relations specialist, a specifi cally designed position, on staff. “We will deliver packages to residents’ suites, we will feed your pet, we will walk your pet, we can arrange for car service,” Johnson says.

A little more than 50 percent occupied and about 70 percent preleased, Four Seasons 4 is competing with The Vue, a recently opened apartment complex at Chagrin Boulevard and South Green Road, and with single-

family homes, Johnson says.“It’s a lifestyle choice,”

she says of prospective renters including empty nesters, divorcees and young professionals who want a sophisticated lifestyle without the traffi c and congestion of downtown, urban living. “They’re on the fence: Do they want to sell their home and maybe downsize? Are they ready to hang up their shovels and tool belts? Basically they have everything right here at their fi ngertips.”

A state-of-the-art fi tness center and digital display boards residents can use to get information and send messages help sway the decision, she suggests, as does living within walking distance of retail destinations.

“This is defi nitely a resort-style apartment home in the heart of Beachwood,” says Venaleck, the director of marketing. “Beachwood is a very coveted area in which to live.”

As Anita Uhrman – and Nola – would attest. js

Mid-Century Modern

By Gina Lloyd

Mid-century modern is an ode to the fi nal season of “Mad Men,” the popular AMC series based on the fi ctional lives of New York City ad agency employees in the 1960s.

Since its fi rst episode in 2007, the show’s costume design and décor have become just as intriguing as its characters. Achieve

a mid-century modern look by pairing neutral color palettes with pops of color. Geometric prints in tangerine and robin’s

egg blue work well with natural woods and light grays. To complete the look, furniture should include clean, simple lines.

Warm weather brings with it opportunities for outdoor entertaining

our outdoor entertaining space can make or break your summer social gatherings. Create a cozy space where guests can wine, dine and relax with these backyard space essentials, recommended by Rick Ritt of Snow Bros. Appliances in Lyndhurst, Steve Goldberg of Goldie Properties in Cleveland and Chris Ursetti of Liberty Landscape Lighting of Northern Ohio.

To start creating your space, fi rst determine your budget and derive inspiration from magazines and TV shows. Then, fi nd an architectural landscaper or general contractor to make your vision come to life. Options are endless. Consider stone paving, a patio, a fi replace or fi re pit, outdoor furniture, and a cooking area.

“There’s something for every budget,” Goldberg says.When outfi tting an outdoor cooking space, a grill is one of

the obvious necessities, but it can be installed many ways. The grill can be framed in wood or built with a stone front, and accessories like ventilation hoods and insulation jackets can be added. Look for something high quality, because in fi ckle Northeast Ohio weather, appliances tend to deteriorate faster.

“We have a lot of people setting up full outdoor kitchens,” Ritt says. That includes more than just a grill – outdoor

refrigerators, sinks, counter space, warming drawers and icemakers really make an outdoor kitchen complete.

Outdoor lighting creates an ambiance and highlights trees and other landscape elements to show off their beauty. LED lighting is popular right now because it is long lasting and saves energy. Use raw materials like copper and brass, which age more nicely than painted aluminum and blend into the landscape.

“When you have outdoor lighting, it’s not so bright and harsh like the big spotlights on the back on the house,” Ursetti says. “It illuminates the landscape and architecture points on the home.” js

PURSUITS

How They RollWhile bowling is a fun

group activity, it’s perhaps not up everybody’s alley. Like for

Allison and Aaron Goldhammer, for example, who both joke about

some of their most memorable bowling experiences:

Allison: “We had a work retreat, and one of the team-building exercises was bowling. I’m a terrible bowler, and I was on my boss’ team. He’s competitive, and as the night progressed, the likelihood of me keeping my job became lower and lower.”

Aaron: “I’ve broken a hundred before.” (A perfect score is 300.) “Some of our friends from Cleveland were on their high school bowling team, so we’re at a bit of a disadvantage there but we’re picking it up.”
