We had the good fortune of connecting with Corine Marie and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Corine, how has your background shaped the person you are today?

Unbeknownst to her at the time, this captivating tale became more than just a favorite movie—it became a lifeline, a sanctuary of imagination that offered solace from the harsh realities of her upbringing. It was within the confines of this make-believe world that Corine discovered the extraordinary power of imagination and the possibility of ‘happily ever afters.’

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
“I love supporting local businesses so that would lead to restaurants like Ed’s Smokehouse, The Greatness Cafe, or Basil Asian Bistro. I also shopping so maybe we would start in the Belden Village area then venture to the Cleveland area. Having lots of family and friends around for a game night and laughs is always the best time.”
