​

Good morning, Portage County. Fall in Northeast Ohio is bringing exciting new developments to our region, with the Cleveland Clinic area set to welcome a $21 million SpringHill Suites hotel. The 127-room facility will be a game-changer for patient families, offering comfortable accommodations just "five doors down" from the medical center while creating 37 permanent jobs and boosting the local economy.

Meanwhile, golf enthusiasts no longer need to wait for spring to perfect their swing. Five Iron Golf has opened its impressive 16,000-square-foot entertainment venue in Shaker Heights' Van Aken District, featuring golf simulators, bowling, and full-service dining. And if you're seeking weekend thrills, Cleveland's entertainment calendar is packed with Halloween festivities, from the aquarium's Pumpkins & Piranhas to orchestral performances, comedy shows, and theatrical productions featuring works inspired by Alicia Keys and Mark Twain.
