The billboards feature messages like "Now With Reduced Staff" and "Made Possible By $DOGE," referring to Trump's Department of Government Efficiency led by Elon Musk.

🦷 Dr. Stanley Brown's gentle touch made dental visits a joy. The beloved Beachwood dentist, who died at 95, served as the Cleveland Cavaliers' team dentist for about 20 years starting in 1970. Known for his patient-centered approach, Brown would give birthday children Baskin-Robbins gift certificates and never turned away those who couldn't pay, sometimes accepting barter instead. Beyond dentistry, he was a former president of Suburban Temple-Kol Ami, an avid sports fan, and lived by the mantra "every day you put your feet on the floor is a good day."
