davidsonbrandon+FollowCleveland’s Terry Pluto: Try, fail, and thriveTerry Pluto, a name every Cleveland sports fan knows, just dropped some real wisdom at the Cleveland Media Academy.

He shared how he found his path after being knocked down (literally) and inspired everyone to take chances because, honestly, what’s the worst that could happen? How do you think taking risks has shaped your own journey? #Sports #Cleveland #TerryPluto10Share
Brian Sanchez+FollowBig changes coming for Cleveland rentersOut-of-state investors are about to take over nine apartment buildings across Cleveland’s east and west sides, including the massive Van Aken Crossing complex near Shaker Square. With 177 units involved, this could mean new management styles, possible renovations, or even rent changes for a lot of local residents. The east side’s Buckeye-Shaker and Ludlow neighborhoods, plus Edgewater on the west side, are all in the mix. Folks are already wondering what this means for the character of these communities. Will this bring improvements, or is it just another step toward out-of-town ownership? What’s your take on outside investors buying up Cleveland housing? #RealEstate #Cleveland #Community00Share
Lindsay Wood+FollowTremont’s church relics stolen—community ralliesGolden prayer plates, treasured for generations at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Tremont, were stolen in a break-in that’s left the local Greek American community heartbroken.

Now, parishioners are offering a $2,000 reward and, remarkably, forgiveness if the relics are returned. It’s a powerful reminder of how deeply faith and tradition are woven into daily life here. How would you feel if something so meaningful to your family or neighborhood was taken? #Religion #Tremont #Cleveland00Share

Tristan Richards+FollowCleveland remembers Burt Saltzman’s legacyCleveland wouldn’t be the same without Burt Saltzman. When other neighborhood groceries were closing up shop, he made sure Dave’s Markets kept expanding, bringing fresh food and jobs to places that would’ve become food deserts. Burt wasn’t your typical CEO—he was just as likely to be bagging groceries or helping someone to their car as he was running the business. He believed in hiring people who needed a second chance and always put the community first. His family still runs the stores with the same heart. What are your memories of Dave’s Markets or Burt’s impact? #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #Cleveland00Share
Keith Stokes+FollowCleveland doctors, UH head to mediation after firing disputeTwo Cleveland pediatricians who say they were fired by University Hospitals for speaking up about patient safety are now sitting down with the hospital to try and work things out in mediation. Both sides have agreed to pause their lawsuit while they look for a resolution outside of court. This all started when the doctors raised alarms about ER staffing and supply shortages, only to be let go. The outcome could set a big precedent for how local hospitals handle staff who raise safety concerns. What do you think—should hospitals face more accountability when staff speak up? #Health #BodyHealth #Cleveland10Share
