Cleveland • March 4, 2025
Good morning, Cleveland. The city that's never afraid to champion its residents is stepping up its game with a full-time LGBTQ+ liaison position at City Hall. While 15 bills concerning LGBTQ+ policies have been introduced across Ohio since 2023, Mayor Justin Bibb's administration isn't just talking about community connections—it's investing $63,750 in them. This dedicated role transforms what was once volunteer work into a full-fledged advocate for Cleveland's diverse communities during a time of significant legislative activity.
From digital innovation to comfort food competitions, Cleveland continues celebrating what makes us unique. GoDaddy's new AI tools are promising to revolutionize how local businesses establish their online presence, while the city's culinary scene just crowned its mac and cheese royalty at the 9th annual Throwdown. Ninja City's Kimchi Mac earned judges' praise, but it was Ridgewood Kitchen's chili mac with cornbread croutons that captured the public's hearts—and taste buds—all while raising $45,000 for service dogs for children.
