Death metal *and* yoga this week? Cleveland contains multitudes 🤘
Good morning, Cuyahoga County. Nearly 1,000 new jobs are headed to Richmond Heights — Flexjet is expanding big at Cuyahoga County Airport, which is the kind of economic news that actually lands. On the waterfront, Cleveland is planning a brand-new outdoor amphitheater along the river, which sounds exciting until you realize it might spell the end for the beloved Jacobs Pavilion. Progress is complicated. Meanwhile, a newly appointed Parma school board member is already making headlines for all the wrong reasons — intimidation and bullying allegations don't exactly scream "education advocate."
The weekend, at least, has range: Ohio Death Fest Pre-Party, a German cultural open, and a patio party are all on tap for Wednesday. Fresh property listings are inside too. There's a lot to dig into today.
