“This
will end my 32-year journalism career, which makes me a little sad, and will
end my 11 years of food writing, which makes me even sadder.
“However,
I am beyond excited about my new job, the amazing people I will be working with
at Kent State and the chance to do some great writing for a great institution.
As an added bonus, I'll be back in my northeast Ohio homeland! Go Golden
Flashes!!!”
When
BJ newsroom retiree Tom Moore told me had heard a rumor about Lisa’s departure, I asked Lisa to
confirm. She did.
And added:
“I am excited to be working
there and to be getting back to Northeast Ohio. Any BJ alums who are at Kent,
please look me up for coffee or lunch! Thanks for asking.”
Lisa
left the BJ in 2014 for the Dispatch.
She
comes from a long line of outstanding food writers at Ol’ Blue Walls: Glenna Snow, Polly
Paffilas, Charlene Nevada, Connie Bloom and Jane Snow.
Niles native and Niles
McKinley High and Ohio University graduate Lisa was at the Toledo Blade and
Warren Tribune Chronicle before coming to 44 E. Exchange Street.
She is married to
Richard Hart.
