Good morning, Cuyahoga County. Hundreds of Ohio pharmacies have quietly shuttered in recent years — so MetroHealth's new 24/7 drive-thru pharmacy on its main campus is genuinely good news worth celebrating. Prescription access at any hour, no appointment needed. Meanwhile, a planned drop-in center for Cleveland's homeless youth has hit a wall after nonprofits abandoned their Ohio City site, leaving the next location still up in the air — a story that deserves a close watch.
On a lighter note, the weekend is shaping up nicely: Ragnarok Mythological Storytelling Walk kicks things off Friday, Cleveland Oktoberfest taps the kegs Thursday, and the Akron Authors Convention rolls in for the bookworms. Fresh local real estate listings are also inside if you're in browsing mode this morning.
