Good morning, Cuyahoga County. One in every eight Hungarian Americans in the country calls the Cleveland metro area home — a fact that hits different when you realize Parma just wrapped its 70th annual Hungarian Festival this past weekend. That's a legacy worth raising a glass to. On a more pressing note, Cuyahoga County is opening a brand-new 24/7 behavioral health crisis center this month, backed by opioid-settlement funds — a genuine lifeline for residents who need somewhere to turn at 2 a.m. And if I-90 has been testing your patience lately, buckle up: more ramp closures are rolling through Cleveland, Lakewood, and Rocky River.
Fortunately, the week ahead has some redemption built in — the Syncopated Ladies Tap Show, Cleveland Oktoberfest, and an Old Skool Hip-Hop Oktoberfest mashup are all on deck. Fresh real estate listings are inside too.

Hungarian culture still thrives decades after first Hungarians settled in Cleveland
🇭🇺 Cleveland's Hungarian community is 150 years strong and still growing. On Sep. 7, Parma, Ohio hosted the 70th annual Hungarian Festival, Ohio's largest, celebrating a heritage that dates back to the 1870s. Nearly 64,000 Hungarians now live in the Cleveland metro area — meaning one in every eight Hungarian Americans in the country calls Ohio home. Hungarian Scouts, active in Cleveland since 1951 and now marking their 75th anniversary, help families preserve the language, traditions, and culture across generations. "The most important part is not just passing the food, the culture, the traditions, but the most important to pass the language," said immigrant Tamas Csajka. Read more
