A dispensary called The Forest? Cleveland Heights is wilding 🌿
Good morning, Cuyahoga County. Cedar-Lee just leveled up — Cleveland Heights now has its second marijuana dispensary, and it's called The Forest, which honestly sounds more like a cozy indie bookshop than a cannabis retailer. Meanwhile, county officials are raising parking rates for the first time in nearly a decade, bumping them up to $20 to help patch a growing budget gap. Deferred maintenance and dwindling reserves are doing what they always do — eventually showing up on your receipt.
On the governance side, the debate over whether Cuyahoga County should elect its sheriff is heating back up, touching off fresh questions about accountability and how local law enforcement should be structured. Nationally, vaccine schedules, food recalls, and market jitters are all in the mix. Fresh real estate listings are inside if you're browsing.
