RESTAURANT REVIEW: Sweet Moses serves treats with a side order of 1930s nostalgia
SWEET MOSES
6800 Detroit Avenue
Cleveland, Ohio
Rating: 4 Paws
Price: $$
Step into the newly opened Sweet Moses at 6800 Detroit Avenue and you will quickly realize that this is not just another collection of vintage looking chairs and a couple of soda fountains falsely claiming to be an authentic throwback to the classic treat shop; this is the real deal. The soda fountain enthusiasts behind the new shop have endlessly toiled at translating a 1920’s and 30’s feel into the modern day to deliver a genuine treat shop experience.
For owner Jeff Moreau, Sweet Moses represents the pinnacle of his vintage soda fountain fandom. Moreau has spent years gathering furnishings to obtain an authentic feel for his shop. He has made numerous visits to towns between Pittsburgh and Chicago, buying chairs, tables, booths, counters, display cases and even a 100 year old artifact bar, all of which were once used in previous soda fountains. Mr. Moreau wanted to make his shop feel authentic and not \”like a soda fountain at Disney World,”

When I began writing for The Eye, I realized that I wasn’t really qualified to be writing for a newspaper. Fortunately, I had been at my local bookstore the day before, and had purchased the book How to Succeed in Journalism Without Really Trying by Sue Purlazie. This book revolutionized my views on journalism and on life in general (See \”Chapter 2: This Book WILL Change Your Life”

Bashour ready to lead student body
By Bill Huesken ’14
On March 30th, the slate of George Bashour and Ben Fischbach was elected to be the student leaders of Saint Ignatius for the 2011-2012 school year. Filling the other top posts will be Dominic Gibbons as secretary and Rory Dayton as treasurer. Bashour and Fischbach will replace current president Chris Razek and vice-president Ryan Ivancic.
Bashour’s duties as president will include running the school rallies and serving as the student representative at Board of Regents meetings. In aninterview, Bashour said he decided to run for the position because he loves the school and wants to play a bigger role in it. “I hear different ideas from my friends,” he said, and he would like to push the good ideas forward.
One thing Bashour hopes to do as president is to add another all school dance to the calendar. “We heard the idea for the dance from Dominic Gibbons and Dan Martin during their speech, and really liked it.” Bashour also said that he would like to increase school spirit by pepping up the rallies and holding more events like the March Madness three-on-three tournament. He said that the thing he is most looking forward to in the new job is getting to work with people and getting ideas moving.
“I’m excited for the job and the new school year,” Bashour said.
Summer reading book scrapped
Stones into Schools dropped after questions about author emerge.
By MATT HRIBAR ’12
Eye Staff Reporter
Composition students summer reading has suddenly been changed due to controversy surrounding the author of one of the titles. Students entering Composition Class next year were assigned the book Stones into Schools by Greg Mortenson to read as one of the two summer books. However, Mortenson has been accused of fabricating stories in his memoir Three Cups of Tea which centers around the author’s experiences in Afghanistan and his decision to begin raising money to contstruct schools there.
According to Steve Kroft of CBS’s 60 Minutes, Mortenson simply made up many of the most important events in his memoir. Kroft claims that Mortenson was not captured by the Taliban and the promise to build a school also did not take place. 60 Minutes also exposed that the amount of money that Mortenson’s foundation, the Central Asia Institute, spends on Mortenson’s personal expenses–such as charter airfare–is disproportionately high compared to that going to build schools. In short, the amount of money that was promised and was supposedly being given to schools was false.

Bonjour! On March 8, French Club members welcomed three Cleveland stars who are native to the French language. Cleveland Cavaliers’ Christian Eyenga, Lake Erie Monsters’ Patrick Bordeleau, and Cavaliers’/Monsters’ announcer Olivier Sedra stopped by to share French culture and language. Eyenga and Bordeleau arrived around 3:30, were introduced, and then took turns reading to the group in French (with the help of a few French Club members). After the stories were read, the floor was opened for a question and answer session.
Eyenga, a native of the Congo, shared his views on Cleveland; \”I think Cleveland is great. It is a very different city, as I was in Barcelona last year.”
