‘Hadestown (Teen Edition)’ Comes to Life at SJND
I want to be clear that while Hadestown (Teen Edition), the spring musical currently offered by Saint Joseph Notre Dame High School, made me cry, everyone should absolutely go see it. I also want to be clear that I meant it when I told the director, the remarkable Kristine Roxas-Miller, that I thought the show was amazing, and it broke my heart, and I was a little bit mad at her. Finally, I want to be clear that my goal in the following review is to sing the praises of the performers and this production with as much love and earnestness as the actors showed on stage. But it did break my heart and make me cry, so who the heck knows?

Diablo Dish: Western Flyer Opening This Month
For Logan Jager, Western Flyer is an idea more than 15 years in the making. The longtime home brewer first considered launching a brewery in 2010 before finally taking the leap 10 years later when he quit his finance day job to get his master’s in brewing at UC Davis and eventually identify a location to build his own facility. You can see the end result of those years of planning at his gleaming new brewery and taproom set to open later this month in the ground floor of a brand-new apartment complex at 3660 Mt. Diablo Boulevard in his hometown of Lafayette.

Fresh take: Temescal’s Ace Seafood seeks to reel in a broader audience with revamp
As far back as the early 1900s, Oakland’s Temescal neighborhood was home to small Italian-owned businesses. Genova Delicatessen opened in 1926 on the site of a former train barn. The long-gone G&G hardware store’s neon sign still looms above the businesses on the designated landmark Cattaneo Block, which stretches from 5006 to 5010 Telegraph. Ace Seafood, at 5000 Telegraph, is located right in the middle of this historic block, which once housed the Buon Gusto Bakery.
