Cleveland stadium repairs: Who’s really footing the bill?

Stadium repair costs in Cleveland just keep piling up, and it’s local taxpayers who are on the hook—whether they realize it or not. Thanks to lease deals with the Guardians and Cavaliers, the Gateway nonprofit must pay for nearly all big repairs at Progressive Field and Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, mostly using money from the sin tax on alcohol and cigarettes. The kicker? Gateway rarely says no, even as repair needs are projected to hit $150 million soon, with no stable funding in sight. Should the teams chip in more, or is this just the price of keeping pro sports in town? #Sports #Cleveland #StadiumRepairs

Cleveland’s college radio silenced, but students won’t let go

Cleveland State just pulled the plug on its legendary student-run radio station, WCSB, swapping decades of raw, unpredictable music for a 24/7 smooth jazz stream—without warning, even on College Radio Day. Students and alumni are furious, staging protests and demanding answers. For many, WCSB was more than a station; it was a home for misfits, a launchpad for new voices, and a piece of Cleveland’s cultural soul. Now, the fight isn’t just about a signal—it’s about who gets to shape the city’s creative future. Do you think universities should protect student-run spaces, or is change inevitable? #Entertainment #Cleveland #CollegeRadio

Cleveland’s holiday lights can help save lions

Those tangled, broken Christmas lights piling up after the holidays? Cleveland Metroparks Zoo wants them! Instead of tossing them, drop off your old lights or extension cords at the zoo or the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District. Every string collected goes toward the Lights for Lions program, supporting real conservation work for lions and cheetahs in Tanzania. No ticket needed for drop-off—just swing by the main entrance. It’s a simple way to clear out clutter and make a global impact. Anyone else already gathering up their old lights? Let’s talk about how small local actions can help wildlife far away! #News #Cleveland #Recycle

Why are Cleveland’s stars leaving town?

Jake Paul’s latest headline fight was a proud moment for Clevelanders, but it also highlights a tough reality: our city keeps losing its brightest talents—not because they don’t love Cleveland, but because other places offer better opportunities, lower taxes, and more support for ambition. Cities like Miami and Puerto Rico are rolling out the red carpet for athletes, artists, and entrepreneurs, while Cleveland risks falling behind. What would it take for us to keep our homegrown stars here and make Cleveland the place where big dreams come true? Let’s talk about what needs to change. #Sports #Wrestling #Cleveland

Cleveland’s priorities: Stadium over shelters?

Unclaimed state funds are being funneled into a new football stadium while people are freezing on Cleveland’s streets and our schools are struggling. Imagine if that money went to building more homeless shelters or giving our schools a real boost instead. Most folks can’t even afford to attend a Browns game, yet that’s where the resources are headed. It really makes you wonder about the city’s priorities. How do you feel about this? Should unclaimed funds be used for basic needs or big-ticket projects? Let’s talk about what matters most for Cleveland. #Safety #Cleveland #CommunityMatters

Cleveland’s Christmas meal tradition warms hearts

Every Christmas, St. Augustine Church in Cleveland transforms into a hub of warmth and connection for hundreds who might otherwise spend the holiday alone. What started over 40 years ago by Sister Corita Ambrose and Father Joe McNulty has become a lifeline for many, offering not just a hot meal but a sense of belonging. Volunteers say it’s the hugs, the stories, and the shared hope that keep them coming back. The need for this kind of community support doesn’t end with the holidays—St. Augustine’s is always looking for helping hands and open hearts. How do you see the spirit of giving alive in our city? #Religion #Cleveland #Community

Flu cases spike in Cleveland—here’s what’s different

Flu season is hitting Cleveland harder than it has in over a decade, and doctors are seeing more severe symptoms—especially among kids and seniors. This year’s main flu strain, H3N2, isn’t covered by the current vaccine, making it tougher to avoid. Hospitals are treating more people for dehydration and breathing issues, and even kids are showing unusual symptoms like diarrhea. If you’re feeling sick, rest and hydration are key, but don’t hesitate to seek help if symptoms get worse. Fewer people are getting flu shots, but it’s not too late to protect yourself and your family. How are you handling flu season this year? #Health #BodyHealth #Cleveland

Cleveland’s St. Herman House keeps neighbors warm

Freezing nights in Cleveland are a little less harsh thanks to St. Herman House, where volunteers hand out hot meals and winter gear to people without homes—every single day, not just on holidays. The need for hats, gloves, and socks never stops, and donations are always running low. If you’ve got extra winter gear or want to help, this is a real way to make a difference right here in our city. How do you think our community can step up to support our most vulnerable neighbors this winter? #Safety #Cleveland #CommunitySupport

Cleveland church brings Christmas spirit to the streets

Instead of spending Christmas at home, volunteers at Denison United Church of Christ in Cleveland filled their holiday with purpose—serving hot meals, handing out gift bags, and sharing music and laughter with neighbors experiencing homelessness. The church isn’t just open for the holidays; it’s a lifeline six days a week, offering food, showers, laundry, and even a mailing address. Sonia Matos, one of the volunteers, says it best: sometimes all it takes to make a difference is a little heart and the willingness to show up. How do you think we can support each other in our own neighborhoods? #Religion #Cleveland #CommunityCare

Cleveland kids get comfort from cuddly gifts

A simple stuffed animal can make all the difference for a child facing a tough hospital stay. Thanks to Ogre’s Bears for Burns, more than 2,000 new plush friends just arrived at MetroHealth in Cleveland, ready to bring comfort and smiles to pediatric patients. Founder Matt Whaley knows firsthand how much a small gesture matters—he started this mission after surviving severe burns as a teen. Over 70,000 stuffed animals later, his dedication hasn’t wavered. These toys aren’t just cute—they help kids cope, offer choices, and even support families during the hardest moments. What are your thoughts on the power of small acts of kindness? #Safety #Cleveland #MetroHealth
