‘Tuned In’ review: Lenny Cooper’s music is muddy, but his aim is clear

Story by Chuck Campbell

Just about everyone wants to feel good about themselves, even if society in general has disdain for their lifestyle, and music has long been an effective means to rally the disenfranchised.

Nightlife: The Outlook is a late-night foodie's dream bar

Story by Matt Ward

It’s not often that I give an overwhelmingly glowing review, but this time out The Outlook has earned it. Of the more than 100 bar reviews I have done in the past 18 months I have not come across a bar that had their vision locked in so tightly outside of The Jig and Reel (which is still doing awesomely nearly 2 years later, I might add).
