Do you have the courage to be someone else for one night?

It is 1483. Two princes have vanished from the Tower of London. No bodies. No confession. Five hundred years and no one has cracked it.

On July 11 at Minervas, twenty of us sit down to settle it. You arrive in character with a secret and a side, York or Lancaster. You scheme with strangers, dig for the truth over dinner, and laugh harder than you expected.

By dessert, a name gets spoken aloud.

You will not say "fine" when someone asks how your weekend was. You will have a story.

The War of the Roses Murder Mystery Dinner. Saturday July 11 at Minervas. $125 per guest, three course dinner included. 18 and up. Only 1 seat left.

[ The Falls Report]

THE SKY — It is hot, hot, hot out there. Sunny and 90 degrees today, and you can anticipate high 80s paired with rain for the rest of the week.
SUNSET — 9:12pm tonight, holding steady at 9:11 to 9:12 all week. The days are starting their slow retreat from the solstice, but you would never know it yet.
AT THE FALLS — The new overlook construction is still going strong in the hot summer heat.
AROUND TOWN — Levitt season is still on, free music on the lawn at Falls Park every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday all summer. This week it is the Fourth of July run. Navy Band Northwest on Thursday the 2nd, local Americana favorite East of Westreville (with guest fiddler Kenny Putnam) on Friday the 3rd, and Broadway and jazz vocalist Andrea Ross and Her Big Band closing it out Saturday the 4th. Music starts at 7. Bring a blanket.
SPOTTED — The Tilted Trophy is new to town on West 26th Street. This sports bar brings a fun twist with 80s arcade games and cold drinks; however, they are bringing in some mixed reviews on their opening days. Give it a try and see what you think!
CREW SPOTLIGHT — The Falls... but mainly the fact that it has everything a big city has, but a smaller town feel... but not a small town feel where your neighbors know what you did during the day before you got home. lol And it has all four seasons, which is a huge plus in my book! ~ Chloe
