Rebecca Corry

Rebecca Corry live in 2011

Warning: contains real profanity and “mom” profanity

Rebecca Corry sets up jokes and knocks ‘em down at a merciless pace. But it’s her gift for autobiographical storytelling that increases the guffaws. After training in the arts of improv, acting, and comedic writing at Chicago institutions Second City and Annoyance Theater, she parlayed her talents into LA success, thus scoring roles on shows such as The King of Queens, her own Comedy Central Presents special, and the LA Weekly’s “Comedy Pick of the Week” for her one-woman show Rebecca Corry with Balls. In her latest performance, I Say Things about Things and Stuff, Corry reveals even more stinging observations about her life, stuff, and things.

Woodlands Tavern

Woodlands Tavern is a dive bar at heart, yet most dive bars don’t sport an immense selection of craft beers and a massive patio. Here, a firepit draws in patrons as if they were hops-loving moths, inviting them to watch performances from local and touring standup comedians as well as rock, jazz, and country acts. The stage stays separate from the bar, so guests can savor their drinks away from the music if they wish, in addition to late-night slices of pizza.

One- or Two-Night Stay at Spruce Hill Inn & Cottages in Mansfield, OH

Fri, 17 May 2013 04:01:11 +0000

Quaint Jacuzzi Cottages with Views of Surrounding Countryside

Spruce Hill Inn & Cottages is set on sprawling wooded acreage in Ohio's countryside. During the winter, the hills hide under a blanket of fresh snow, but when spring comes, it melts to reveal bright-green, rolling hills. Though the scenery changes, the objective remains the same every season: to relax and get close to nature in a quiet, secluded environment.

Spruce Hill's 28 private cottages sit on hilltops connected by meandering walkways. They all feature sitting areas with windows or private decks that look out to the countryside; some face the neighboring mountains, and others look out onto a tranquil pond. The furnished deck on Cottage 121 has some of the best farmland views, and guests can fix homemade meals in the kitchenette inside.

Though the views vary from cottage to cottage, each A-frame dwelling comes stocked with similar homey amenities, including dining areas, fireplaces, and jacuzzi tubs.

Mansfield, Ohio: Rural City with Family-Friendly Attractions and Countryside Trails

Mansfield is located in north central Ohio about halfway between Columbus and Cleveland. In a region covered with flat farmland, the city stands out: it has many peaks that reach as high as 1,400 feet. Even more unusual, this rural midland spot has been the setting for a number of major motion pictures, including Air Force One, Tango & Cash, and The Shawshank Redemption, which filmed its famous prison scenes at the Ohio State Reformatory in town. Originally built in 1886, this Gothic-style penitentiary no longer houses inmates, but it's still open for overnight ghost hunts as well as ghost tours, which Frommer's called among the best in the country.

The town's Historic Carrousel District, located about 7 miles from the inn, is home to the charming Richland Carrousel Park. It's an indoor merry-go-round adorned with 30 horses and 22 other intricate animal figures that were designed, hand-carved, and painted at the largest wooden-carousel manufacturer in the world—less than 10 minutes up the road.

You can also take advantage of golf, biking, and hiking opportunities along the 18-mile B&O Trail. During the winter, skiers, boarders, and tubers flock to Snow Trails Ski Resort, one of the few skiing destinations in the state.
