Preorders are now open for “Warren’s Millionaires Row,” the third book by authors Josh Nativio and Trumbull County Historical Society Executive Director Meghan Reed. “Beginning as a path created by Indigenous cultures, Mahoning Avenue or ‘Millionaires Row’ would arguably represent Warren, Ohio, throughout the 19th century more than any other road. … Today, Mahoning Avenue remains the most historically intact neighborhood in the city and would be recognized by any denizen of early-20th-century Warren,” said Arcadia in its book description.

The Movie Nerd Report: Holiday films, class screenings, a chance to meet the Movie Nerd

An opportunity to hear your resident #movienerd speak, here is your #movienerdreport!. This week includes a bit of self-promotion as I have been invited by the Cleveland Cinematheque (11610 Euclid Ave, Cleveland 44106) to conduct a post film Q&A on Thursday evening at 6:45 p.m. for a new film called “The Scout.” For those who don’t know, my day job at the Greater Cleveland Film Commission includes scouting for films so they hopefully shoot in Cleveland. So, I consider being asked to do this question-and-answer a high honor! This film is about a New York City location scout (Mimi Davila) spends a frantic day visiting strangers’ private apartments for a television pilot, quietly stepping into their lives while trying to figure out her own. The film also plays Sunday at 6:45 p.m.
