Cuyahoga County • May 14, 2025
Good morning, Cuyahoga County. Nothing signals summer in Cleveland quite like the sight of food trucks lining downtown streets. Starting May 1, hungry office workers can follow a weekly schedule of mobile eateries—from Blasian Fusion to Carter's BBQ—with clever themed days like "Walnut Wednesday" and "Free Stamp Friday." The culinary caravan will be accompanied by live music ranging from jazz to surf rock, creating the perfect soundtrack for your midday meal adventure.
Meanwhile, luxury real estate is heating up as a Rocky River mansion topped April's home sales at a cool $1.8 million. The 4,922-square-foot property was among 13 million-dollar homes sold last month—the highest monthly total this year. Features like Tesla chargers and theater rooms highlight the high-end market, while across the region, thunderstorms roll in today with temperatures reaching the mid-70s and humidity on the rise.
