Good morning, Cuyahoga County. If you've driven near Cleveland Hopkins lately, you already know — the airport construction zone has officially achieved chaos speedrun status, with Brookpark Road, I-71, I-480, Snow Road, and Ohio 237 all conspiring against your commute simultaneously. Meanwhile, Parma City Schools is staring down a $16 million budget shortfall with a correction plan due to the state, and a high-profile murder trial against a former Cleveland attorney has stalled before jury selection could even get off the ground.
On the national front, Wall Street caught a rare good mood after the Fed signaled patience on rates. Closer to home, the weekend calendar is offering some serious redemption — Singles Speed Dating, a Meatball & Wine Crawl, and a Professional Networking Mixer are all on deck. Fresh listings are inside too.
