Good morning, Cuyahoga County. Move over, Miami and Malibu – Cleveland just crashed the party of elite vacation destinations, landing an impressive #7 spot on National Geographic's list of America's most family-friendly getaways. While some might raise an eyebrow at our hometown mixing it up with Palm Springs and Washington D.C., we locals know exactly why the spotlight has finally found us.
And that spotlight couldn't come at a better time. As the massive 62-acre Lake Shore Power Station site eyes a dramatic transformation from industrial relic to waterfront wonderland, and Food Strong launches its vision for an urban food oasis in St. Clair/Superior, we're witnessing Cleveland's next chapter unfold. It seems National Geographic isn't the only one recognizing our city's potential to surprise and delight.

☕️ What's Brewing Locally
🏭 Cleveland's massive lakefront power plant site eyes major transformation. The 62-acre former Lake Shore Power Station property, acquired by Industrial Development Advantage (IDA), could become home to everything from solar facilities to residential developments. The site includes unique water features, including an inlet from Lake Erie that local advocates want preserved for recreational use. Green Ribbon Coalition is pushing back against industrial uses, advocating instead for restaurants, clubs, and waterfront activities. The redevelopment plans must consider the nearby $300 million CHEERS project, which will create new recreational areas along Lake Erie.
🌆 Cleveland shocks travel world, lands on National Geographic's top vacation list. The prestigious magazine ranked Ohio's underdog city as #7 among America's most family-friendly destinations, praising its flourishing arts and culture scene. From the Cleveland Museum of Natural History to Karamu House and Cuyahoga Valley National Park, the city offers diverse attractions for families. Cleveland joins notable destinations like Washington D.C., Scottsdale, and Palm Springs on the coveted list. The recognition challenges traditional vacation hotspots, suggesting tourists look beyond the obvious choices.
🌱 Cleveland nonprofit aims to turn empty lot into urban food oasis. Food Strong has launched an ambitious five-year plan to transform a vacant space in the St. Clair/Superior neighborhood into a thriving local food hub. The initiative, led by founder Sara Continenza, is focused on establishing "food sovereignty" in Northeast Ohio. The project represents a significant commitment to bringing fresh, sustainable food options to an underserved urban area.
