Cleveland • February 24, 2025

​

Good morning, Cleveland. In a plot twist worthy of a tech thriller, Cleveland's Municipal Court has gone decidedly old-school this week, trading computer screens for paper files after a mysterious cyber incident forced an emergency shutdown. It's a stark reminder that even in our digital age, sometimes the most secure system is a drawer full of manila folders.

But while our courts temporarily step back in time, Cleveland's auto enthusiasts are racing full speed into both past and future at the I-X Center. Classic beauties like the 1929 CMC Gazelle are stealing hearts right alongside the latest electric vehicles, proving that good design never goes out of style. And speaking of blending old and new, Bill Nye (yes, that Science Guy) is bringing his signature bow tie and boundless enthusiasm to the Natural History Museum this spring – because nothing says Cleveland like mixing nostalgia with innovation.
