L-Marr the Great
For the past several years, rapper L-Marr the Great has been riding the buzz of underground releases like "The Muscle Game Mixtape Vol. 1." However, his second official solo album, "The Moment: Grown Man Music," could considerably raise the local MC's profile.
"It's a retro, neo-hip-hop album," L-Marr said. "It definitely has an old- school aesthetic but it also has a new school spin to it. It's definitely not Ñ I don't want to say typical hip-hop, like I'm trying to separate myself Ñ but it's not regular.
"I'm 25, I just graduated school," he continued. "I have loans and bills to pay. I deal with adult issues because I'm an adult now and 'The Moment' means that transition from childish things to manly type of things."
"Because you don't have an actual band or nobody plays an actual instrument it's still kind of viewed as a fringe artistic form," L-Marr said.
To circumvent that problem, the industrious rapper recently put together his own four-piece band, The Wait.
"I don't want to be the cause of the stagnation of an art form I love. I'm not going to do anything too off-the-wall, but I definitely want to push the boundaries as much as I can," he said.

An Excuse to Celebrate
Mad Hatter Day
Mad Hatter Day is a day to do and say things that are usually considered absurd, but actually are very logical; and to avoid things that are considered normal, but are actually quite ludicrous. Kinda confusing, so today it should make perfect sense. Celebrate this mad holiday by doing…pretty much whatever you want. Things to do »

Get in the Halloween spirit with a ghost hunt or a haunted house tour [things to do]
Perhaps you've heard stories from Room No. 4 at the Hammel House in downtown Waynesville — the site of a gruesome 19th-century murder. Or maybe you've heard tales from the Friends (Quaker) Meeting House. A candlelight flickers in the window, perhaps signaling long-dead conductors on the Underground Railroad. With more than 30 haunted houses, Chris Woodyard of Beavercreek, author of the "Haunted Ohio" book series, says Waynesville is easily the "most haunted town in Ohio." Call and schedule a haunted tour, and maybe you'll spot some ghosts. More »
