Seniors fighting back + death metal meets poetry tonight 💀📜
Good morning, Cuyahoga County. Four point three seven million dollars is heading toward affordable housing in the county — a meaningful investment for residents trying to get a foothold in a tough market. On the care side of things, Parma Heights is weighing a partnership with Parma's mental health co-response program, which would mean more trained support showing up to crises alongside police. And seniors at Parma Heights Senior Village are done staying quiet — residents are pushing back hard against the management company overseeing their home, and accountability is the word of the day.
Globally, oil prices jumped 6% on fresh Middle East tensions, and Tulsa moved forward with a landmark $105 million reparations plan. Closer to home, Wednesday night has range: a poetry evening, a patio party, and an Ohio Death Fest pre-party — something for every mood. Fresh listings are inside too.
