Good morning, Cuyahoga County. It was a heavy weekend in Euclid, where two minors were killed in a shooting Saturday evening — a reminder that some stories don't get easier to read, no matter how many times you open a newsletter. Closer to the infrastructure beat, the Hilliard Road Bridge redesign is moving forward, but a $20 million funding gap is still hanging in the air like an unresolved plot point.
Nationally, a stronger-than-expected jobs report has Wall Street recalibrating and consumers feeling gloomier about inflation — good news that somehow isn't. On a much better note, the week ahead has live opera, an open mic night, and the Guardians hosting the White Sox on Sunday. Fresh real estate listings are waiting inside too.
