A body, a WNBA team & $5M hitting the streets π
β
Good morning, Cuyahoga County. Cleveland just got a WNBA team β and she's a Siren. After months of waiting, the city's newest squad finally has a name, and honestly, it slaps. While fans are busy updating their wardrobes, county crews are quietly getting to work repaving roads across 22 communities with $5.21 million in fresh funding. Smoother commutes by 2028 β mark it down.
On the darker side of the morning, detectives are investigating after a body was discovered at an East Side car dealership β a developing story worth watching. Nationally, oil prices jumped 6% on renewed Middle East tensions, and jobless claims kept rate-cut speculation on life support. Fresh real estate listings are inside if you're in the market for a home in Siren territory.
