Toledo 'Carpenters' ring in release of 'Short n' Sweet'
Local fans of singer-songwriter and pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter, or “Carpenters,” would “Please Please Please” like her latest album to be less Short n’ Sweet. Culture Clash Records, located at 912 Monroe St. in downtown Toledo, hosted a listening party Thursday for the new Sabrina Carpenter album, Short n’ Sweet, which lives up to its name at 36 minutes in length. The event was complete with free Short n’ Sweet-branded journals, temporary tattoos, a contest for a special edition CD, and a video introduction from Carpenter herself. The event was reminiscent of Carpenter’s sudden rise in popularity after making music for more than 10 years, filled with new fans and yearslong stans. Carpenter released her first single, “Can’t Blame a Girl for Trying,” in March, 2014, but many were unaware of her music until recently. An employee running the event even mistakenly referred to her last album, emails i can’t send, as her first (the 2022 record was her fifth studio album).
Toledo man honored posthumously as one of 1st Black Marines
Kyle Baker never imagined he’d one day visit Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. But he did go there — to accept a Congressional Gold Medal for his late father, Jack Baker, a Montford Point Marine from Toledo. Thirty Montford Point Marines — the nation’s first Black Marines — were presented with a replica of a Congressional Gold Medal at Lejeune Memorial Gardens on Friday. According to Mr. Baker, nine surviving members of the Montford Marines were in attendance. “A lot of people never heard of the Montford Marines,” Kyle Baker, of Toledo, said. “Those Marines were neglected. They tried to get them to quit. The Marine Corps did not record all of what the platoon did in war, so not many of them or their families know about the award.”
