Free Preview: Playmate of the Month March 2000 - Nicole Marie Lenz
<p>We've noticed, with some surprise, that Cleveland has begun to pop up more often on our radar. We've listened to the legends and admired the artifacts at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, cheered an Indians home stand and applauded Shakespeare at the Cleveland Playhouse. Recently we discovered another local attraction: Nicole Marie Lenz. Nikki picked us up one afternoon at Public Square and took us to a favorite restaurant -- her uncle's deli -- for corned beef. Then it was off to the lakeshore to view the setting sun, framed by iron ore unloaders and passing freight trains. Clearly, this is a city richly endowed with brawn and beauty.</p><p>Q: What's the reaction when folks learn you hail from Cleveland?</p><p>A: In Los Angeles people look at me and go, "How could that happen?" I laugh. Everything is better in this town now. I was here for the opening of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. There are nice restaurants, and people are taking business more seriously. We've built up our nightclub scene in the Flats and the Warehouse District. Little Italy has the best food, and its cool, especially if you like Italians as much as I do. All these things put us back on the map as cool people.</p><p>Q: There's a large lake in the neighborhood. Can you tell us a fish story?</p><p>A: Lake Erie is beautiful. I roller-skate right down to Edgewater Park and go swimming. I have my best times of summer at the beach. I've been swimming in California. You get a gulp of that salt water -- yuck!...
