Two tragedies, one big opening & quiet green shoots π±
β
Good morning, Cuyahoga County. August 27th is now officially a date worth circling β Chick-fil-A is opening its first true Cleveland location on Euclid Ave., bringing 115 jobs and, more importantly, waffle fries to the city. It's genuinely good news in a week that needs some, after a deadly two-car crash at East 55th and Cedar claimed a life Thursday, and a 15-year-old girl was fatally shot in Old Brooklyn β two tragedies that weigh heavy on the community.
On the economic front, Wall Street signals are quietly encouraging β jobless claims dipped, leading indicators nudged upward, and Philadelphia manufacturing stayed in expansion mode. Small green shoots, but we'll take them. Fresh local real estate listings are also inside if you're in browsing mode.
