Good morning, Cuyahoga County. From the shores of Lake Erie to the streets of Hingetown, Cleveland's commitment to making the world better flows as steadily as our beloved Cuyahoga River. Local activist Erin Huber Rosen embodies this spirit perfectly—founding homeless initiatives as a teenager before establishing Drink Local Drink Tap, her journey from Catholic roots to embracing Judaism's concept of "repairing the world" mirrors Cleveland's own evolution of purpose and identity.
The summer calendar is filling with vibrant cultural offerings as the Cleveland Museum of Art transforms Ohio City into global block parties with its City Stages world music series. Colombian cumbia rhythms and multicultural ensembles will soon have Clevelanders dancing under July skies. Meanwhile, the lakefront development project pushes forward regardless of Browns stadium decisions, with developers being sought for up to 50 acres that could reshape our relationship with Lake Erie's edge.

0%☕️ What's Brewing Locally
💧 Cleveland activist found her purpose in water and Judaism. Erin Huber Rosen's journey from founding homeless support initiatives at 16 to establishing Drink Local Drink Tap, a nonprofit advocating for clean water access, reflects her lifelong commitment to helping others. Though raised Catholic, she converted to Judaism eight years ago, embracing the concept of tikkun olam (repairing the world) which aligned with her humanitarian values. Beyond her environmental work in Cleveland and Uganda, Huber Rosen serves on multiple boards including the Jewish Federation of Cleveland. When not working, she enjoys outdoor activities, sailing, and travel while emphasizing the importance of mentorship and self-compassion.
🏫 Ohio's kindergarten age cutoff bill creates more confusion than clarity. The legislation, which passed unanimously in the House, would require children to be five by their district's first day of class rather than standardized dates. Since school start dates vary widely across districts, this "standardization" actually maintains inconsistency for families moving between districts. Meanwhile, Ohio ranks a disappointing 34th in US News health rankings despite housing world-class medical facilities like Cleveland Clinic. The lakefront development project is moving forward regardless of the Browns' stadium decision, with developers being sought this summer for up to 50 acres between West 3rd and East 9th streets.
🎵 Cleveland's free world music series returns with global flair this July. The Cleveland Museum of Art's City Stages will transform Ohio City's Hingetown neighborhood into vibrant block parties on two Wednesday evenings. Colombian cumbia master Yeison Landero performs July 9, followed by the all-female, multicultural ensemble Las Karamba on July 23. Both performances mark Cleveland debuts for these international acts, promising "huge dance parties" with live music starting at 7:30 p.m. outside Transformer Station.
