Lakewood Library is expanding its popular Anime Club with a Manga Circle today. Club members take their usual TV viewing a step further by grabbing colored pencils and drawing their own manga, or Japanese cartoons. "It helps to have a little drawing experience," says the club's Justin Adkins. Led by artist Peter Wong, fans will also get a history lesson: Manga started in 18th-century Japan, where middle-class merchants made a fortune selling self-published comic books. But they didn't catch on in the U.S. until the 1960s, when Astro Boy became a cult hit. These days, the Cartoon Network carries two daily blocks of shows featuring manga. "There's been a boom because of this," says Adkins. "This extends upon what we're already doing by diving deeper into Japanese culture."

Sweet Lorain Antiques 7105 Lorain Rd., Cleveland Formerly named Suite Lorain, this antiques shop sells items on behalf of many owners. Sweet Lorain is highly organized compared to usual shops' hodge podge, making it easy for buyers to see everything that is available. The prices can be on the high side but if it's vintage that you want, this is the place to go.

25 Essential Cleveland Vintage and Thrift Shops You Should Be Shopping At
Swim at a Public Pool For those of us not lucky enough to have a friend with a pool, the region’s public swimming offerings are the next best thing. There are, of course, Cleveland’s public pools, but with erratic openings based on temperatures and staffing, they are hardly worth counting on. Luckily, you can snag a guest day pass in many suburbs where the water is warm and the beach chairs bountiful: Dragga Pool in Mayfield Heights will run you $10 as a non-resident, Walter’s Grove in Parma will cost you just $6, Parma Heights’ primo pool awaits for $8, Foster and Becks Pools in Lakewood will let you in for $5.50, and Beachwood’s absolutely stunning outdoor aquatic center will refresh and entertain you for $10.
