Drones, deputies & a pool glow-up — Friday's packed 🚁
Good morning, Cuyahoga County. The future arrived at your doorstep this week — literally. Amazon Prime Air has launched drone delivery in North Randall, meaning packages under five pounds could be buzzing to your door in under two hours. Jeff Bezos, you have our attention. Less smoothly, a carjacking chase on I-90 ended with two deputies hospitalized after their cruiser was rammed — both cleared, thankfully. And Cleveland Heights is planning a full Cumberland Pool glow-up, with construction starting in 2027 and a grand reopening splash set for summer 2028.
On Wall Street, the 10-year Treasury yield hit a 19-year high — fun times for mortgage hunters. Tonight's events run from a botanical gallery opening to soccer at the Hoyas. Fresh listings and a subscription audit tip are inside too.
