🦸 Superman comes home

Cuyahoga County • July 7, 2025

​

Good morning, Cuyahoga County. The night sky over Union-Miles Park lit up for all the wrong reasons early this morning as flames consumed a local auto repair shop, causing $100,000 in damage. The two-story commercial building on Union Avenue now faces demolition, marking another blow to the neighborhood's business landscape. Meanwhile, the future of Cleveland's iconic Shoreway hangs in the balance as officials consider transforming the high-speed lakefront roadway into a slower boulevard—a change that would fundamentally alter how thousands of commuters navigate past landmarks like the Rock Hall and Science Center.

In a cinematic twist that brings hometown pride, director James Gunn has returned Superman to his Cleveland roots. The filmmaker spent six weeks capturing the city's Art Deco architecture as the perfect backdrop for Metropolis—a fitting tribute to the birthplace where creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster first imagined the Man of Steel in the 1930s. The reboot, starring David Corenswet and hitting theaters July 11, skips the origin story while showcasing Cleveland's architectural gems.

🚗 Cleveland's Shoreway could become a boulevard, dividing commuters. The high-speed roadway that runs along Lake Erie's north side through downtown Cleveland is being considered for conversion to a slower boulevard. This transformation would impact thousands of daily commuters who currently zip through at 50 mph or faster. The stretch passes notable landmarks including the football stadium, Great Lakes Science Center, and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The proposal represents a significant potential change to a key transportation artery that many Northeast Ohio residents have used for years.
