Good morning, Cuyahoga County. Four-legged foodies have a new reason to wag their tails with the opening of Basil & Rex in Ohio City. This gourmet pet store is elevating canine cuisine with premium ingredients like venison and bison, proving that healthy eating isn't just for humans anymore. The shop's three-ingredient treats and chemical-free products reflect a growing trend of pet parents seeking higher standards for their furry family members—because apparently, even dogs deserve their own farm-to-bowl experience.
Fantasy comes to life this weekend as Beck Center's production of "Between the Lines" blurs the boundary between reality and imagination through the story of outsider Delilah and her literary prince. Meanwhile, ASIA nonprofit is tackling very real challenges with its first mental health forum addressing disparities in Asian American communities. The collaborative event aims to reduce stigma and create safe spaces for conversation—a reminder that sometimes the most important stories are the ones we've been hesitant to tell.

🐶 Cleveland's newest pet store makes healthy eating go to the dogs. Basil & Rex in Ohio City specializes in gourmet dog food with no fillers or substitutes, focusing on pure ingredients like venison and bison. Owners Randi Gilmore and Carl DeScott created the concept after adopting their dog Ollie and researching the best pet nutrition options. The shop also offers three-ingredient treats in flavors like peanut butter and jelly, plus chemical-free grooming products and cotton toys. Located in the Creative Hangars complex, Basil & Rex will soon host regular puppy adoption events starting in May.
🎭 Magical musical "Between the Lines" brings fantasy to life Sunday.

🧠 Mental health forum tackles disparities in Asian American communities.
