Fascinating look at the working world in much of America, and the ham-fisted effort to change it overnight. nytimes.com/2025/07/27/us/…

Great to see Margaret Bernstein at Cleveland Reads! An excellent journalist, author, advocate, TV personality, & literacy activist, she celebrated the year-long finale, inspiring Clevelanders to read. The Library can always count on her diverse talents and commitment to literacy.

As a subscriber, I'm worried about @CrainsCleveland. Editor @McIntyreCrains and reporter @mjarboe greatly enhanced its coverage and made it a must read. The loss of both is huge loss for Crain's and a loss for journalism in CLE

SOC: Our Men of the Match in the State Championship were none other than Bryce Ince-Lovelace and Colin Monroe! Bryce headed in the equalizer with 5-minutes remaining in regulation and Colin secured ring number 13 with his clutch saves in penalty kicks! #GoCats

Today in 1908 East Technical High School opened as the first trade school in Cleveland and one of only five in the country. A good idea then and a good idea now. #GoScarabs
