A Parisian heist, an indie rock night & a free mixer await 🎟️
Good morning, Cuyahoga County. Law enforcement is having a busy week in the county — U.S. Marshals are actively hunting a murder suspect spotted in Strongsville, Cleveland police are searching for a registered sex offender on the run, and a Shaker Heights man managed to turn a protection order violation into a full-blown bedroom standoff. Nationally, the sudden death of Senator Lindsey Graham is making waves, Apple and OpenAI are heading to court in a blockbuster trade secrets battle, and gas prices are creeping back up — because of course they are.
Fortunately, the weekend lineup offers a solid escape from the headlines. Jo Piazza's Parisian Heist, a Death Cab indie rock night, and a free social mixer at Nate's Deli are all on deck. Fresh Real Estate listings are inside too.
