Good morning, Cuyahoga County. Cleveland's streets are speaking volumes this year, with over 600 pothole repair requests and only 56% marked as closed. Residents in Kamm's Corner might be feeling the bumps more than most as the West Side neighborhood tops the list for open repair tickets. Relief is on the horizon, though – City Council is earmarking an additional $8 million for road resurfacing in 2025, promising smoother journeys ahead for those 2,000 annual tons of asphalt filling.
While modern roads get attention, Cleveland's cinematic past is making a spectacular comeback. The Cleveland Public Library is partnering with the Silent Film Festival to bring classics like Hitchcock's "Blackmail" back to life with live musical accompaniment. These free monthly screenings begin March 15, celebrating the downtown branch's centennial while offering a uniquely immersive experience. Between film nostalgia, intermittent fasting tips from Broadview Health Center, and "Pizza Madness" at Mama Julianne's, March is shaping up to be anything but quiet in Cleveland.
