Action Figure Review: Stratos from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe by Mattel

I will absolutely admit that Stratos has never been one of my favorites. I never had the vintage Stratos as a kid and I've always found the figure rather boring.

The Ultimate Cuyahoga Valley National Park Travel Guide

As a Clevelander and frequent Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP) visitor, I field these questions a lot—especially from friends who’ve never been to the state. It’s not that my home gets a bad rap in the world of outdoor adventure. It’s that, compared to other Great Lakes states, it hardly has a rap at all.
