Good morning, Cuyahoga County. The Guardians trailed Tampa Bay for most of Game 1 before exploding for five late runs to steal a 7-3 victory in the ALCS opener — classic Cleveland, making you sweat before delivering. On the defense front, Cleveland just landed a major U.S. Submarine Component Repair Center, a significant economic win for the region. And the Browns' stadium planners are rethinking the parking lot math in Brook Park, betting that fewer spaces means more room for apartments, restaurants, and hotels by 2029. When you're ready for a break from the headlines, the weekend has you covered — river otter talks, a live Ghostbusters orchestra, and a Halloween craft event are all on deck. Fresh real estate listings and local sports scores are inside too. ☕️ What's Brewing Locally Guardians stun Rays, 7-3, with late rally to take Game 1 of ALCS ⚾ Cleveland pulled off a stunning comeback to open the ALCS. The Guardians trailed the Tampa Bay Rays for most of Game 1 before erupting late to win 7-3 at Tropicana Field. Home runs from Chase DeLauter and Patrick Bailey in back-to-back innings tied the game at 2-2, sparking the rally. Rays starter Drew Rasmussen was solid, allowing just two runs on eight hits over six innings, but Cleveland's persistence wore down Tampa Bay's bullpen in the end. Read more Cleveland to get submarine parts repair center, Trump says 🚢 Cleveland is getting a major new U.S. submarine repair hub. President Trump announced at a Youngstown rally that the Department of Defense has selected Cleveland, Ohio, as the home of the new U.S. Submarine Component Repair Center. The facility will manufacture, repair, and maintain parts for American submarines. Trump had directed administration officials in August to identify a suitable location within 90 days, making this announcement the result of that directive. Cleveland city officials have not yet responded to the news. Read more Browns want to slash parking requirements for their new stadium district in Brook Park 🏈 The Browns want fewer parking spots — to build more of everything else. Haslam Sports Group and Lincoln Property Company are asking Brook Park's planning commission to reduce on-site parking at their new suburban stadium district from 13,000 mandated spaces to 10,250–10,500 at opening, with a long-term target of just 8,000. The team argues that massive parking lots would consume 60% of developable land on the 178-acre site while sitting empty most of the year, since the stadium expects peak crowds only 20–25 days annually. Instead, they're proposing a mix of off-site parking, ride-sharing, and transit — with city officials identifying over 10,000 potential off-site spaces within a mile of the future Huntington Bank Field. The freed-up land would make room for apartments, retail, office space, and hotels planned to open alongside the stadium in 2029. Read more 🏆 SCOREBOARD | Date | Sport | Matchup |
