Good morning, Cuyahoga County. Politics and permanent ink share something in common this week—both can lead to serious regret. As Cleveland's mayoral race intensifies between incumbent Justin Bibb and challenger LaVerne Gore, residents are weighing claims about public safety and city services against Bibb's touted 46% reduction in homicides. Meanwhile, a revealing study shows Clevelanders rank fourth nationally for tattoo remorse, with over 360 searches per 100,000 residents seeking removal or cover-up options.
The local food and beverage scene continues its evolution with Tremont welcoming Mosaic Brewing to enthusiastic crowds. The neighborhood's first true brewery focuses on quality English ales rather than distribution, while Edison's Pub changes ownership with promises to preserve its beloved character. For sports fans with appetites, Swensons has added two concession stands at Rocket Arena, ensuring Cavs games now come with the option of their famous burgers.

70%☕️ What's Brewing Locally
🗳️ Cleveland mayoral race heats up as Bibb faces Gore. Incumbent Justin Bibb is seeking reelection against challenger LaVerne Gore, with both candidates sitting down for "3 Questions" with WKYC's Russ Mitchell. Gore cites concerns about safety, education, and city services, claiming Cleveland has suffered a "bad hire" in Bibb's administration. Meanwhile, Bibb highlights a 46% reduction in homicides during his term and prioritizes continued focus on public safety, education improvements, and modernizing city infrastructure for his potential second term.
🖋️ Cleveland's tattoo regret ranks fourth in the nation. A new study reveals Clevelanders search for tattoo removal or cover-up options at one of the highest rates in America, with 360.89 searches per 100,000 residents. Orlando, Atlanta, and Salt Lake City are the only cities with higher regret rates. Research suggests motivation matters—those who got tattoos to be fashionable reported higher regret than those expressing individuality. Amateur tattoos and younger age at first ink also correlated strongly with later dissatisfaction.
🍻 Tremont toasts Mosaic Brewing's buzzing debut while Edison's changes hands. The neighborhood's first true local brewery opened to enthusiastic crowds, focusing on English ales, lagers and pilsners rather than distribution. Meanwhile, Hangry Brands acquired Edison's Pub but promises to preserve the beloved watering hole exactly as is. In other Cleveland food news, Kyuu-juu in Ohio City earned praise for its crafted izakaya experience, while Swensons added two concession stands at Rocket Arena for hungry Cavs fans.
