Good morning, Cuyahoga County. Five bats testing positive for rabies in two months — that's not a haunted house prop, that's a genuine public health heads-up. Health officials want you to know: if a bat gets inside, don't shoo it out the door. Get it tested. On a different kind of accountability note, the county just greenlit a new appeals board that could finally put some teeth into repeat code violations — fines up to $25,000 for the most stubborn offenders.
Sadly, a deadly crash on I-71 in Strongsville claimed two lives overnight, a grim reminder of how fast things can change on the highway. On a more hopeful note, fresh local real estate listings are inside if you're in the market for a change of your own.
