Good morning, Cuyahoga County. Behind the rhythm of rock and roll that made Cleveland famous beats another powerful musical heart. Our city's forgotten R&B legacy shaped America's soundtrack, with East Side venues like Leo's Casino and the Brougham Lounge hosting legends from B.B. King to The Temptations. Though many of these historic clubs have vanished, their cultural impact resonates through generations of music lovers who understand Cleveland's outsized influence on American sound.
On the public safety front, Cleveland police have released surveillance images of suspects in a West Boulevard neighborhood shooting, urging anyone with information to come forward. Meanwhile, as economic conversations swirl around potential tariff impacts, Cleveland.com has launched a practical price-tracking initiative for 100 everyday items at local retailers. The timing feels appropriate as Guardians fans bundle up against unseasonably cold temperatures—proving that in Cleveland, we weather all kinds of challenges together.

🔍 Cleveland police hunt shooting suspects caught on camera. Investigators released photos Wednesday of men involved in a shooting in the West Boulevard neighborhood.

🎵 Cleveland's forgotten R&B legacy shaped America's musical landscape. The city that helped birth rock and roll through Alan Freed's radio shows was equally influential in popularizing rhythm and blues from the late 1940s onward. While racial divisions relegated Black artists to East Side venues like Leo's Casino and the Brougham Lounge, these clubs became essential stops for legends including B.B. King, James Brown, and The Temptations. Though many of these historic venues have disappeared, they—along with pioneering Black artists—forever changed music and remain an integral part of Cleveland's rich musical heritage.
🛒 Tariff threats prompt Cleveland news outlet to track grocery prices. Cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer are monitoring costs of 100 everyday items at major retailers as President Trump's proposed tariffs loom. The tracking includes prices at Walmart, Giant Eagle, Lowe's and Amazon. Despite economic concerns, the article maintains a lighthearted tone, comparing Cleveland's unseasonably cold weather during the Guardians' home opener to the "no crying in baseball" adage.
