Saxophonist Dave Sterner worries that folks checking out his free downtown performance this afternoon might mistake his jazz trio for a bunch of bums. "Because we're outside, people think we're panhandling," he sighs. "That can make you feel a little unartistic."

The Dave Sterner Trio plays songs made famous by Duke Ellington and Frank Sinatra. Sterner will also test out some original tunes from his latest CD, What's What? "I make tapping-their-feet and bobbing-their-head kinda music," Sterner says.
Thu., Sept. 7, 5:30-7:30 p.m.

Formerly named Suite Lorain, this antiques shop sells items on behalf of many owners.

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.
