THANK YOU SO MUCH TOLEDO, OH. We look forward to living up to this award Every Week with amazing weekly events and Thought Provoking Feature Presentations.
EXCERPT FROM THE TOLEDO CITY PAPER
When the former Brewed Awakenings on Central Ave. announced it was closing its doors, longtime performance artists Jesse Lipman and Imani Latees saw an opportunity to continue its tradition of spoken word poetry. The Ground Level Coffeehouse emerged, bringing a new identity and renewed life to the location.
“We like connecting a lot of good poets from the region. We have local college age poets, experienced poets and poets from Detroit,” said co-owner Jesse Lipman.
A prototypical college coffeehouse with an eclectic variety of furniture, Ground Level is filled with a warm vibe where you’d expect to see students working away on their laptops, playing chess, or a poet talking Kurt Vonnegut with a man wearing a beret and horn-rimmed glasses.
