Fall has officially arrived in Believeland, and crisp autumn air isn’t the only thing blowing into town — there’s a genuine spark of optimism in the air. Between the Guardians gearing up for their playoff run and the Browns giving us reasons to believe, it’s a great time to be a Cleveland sports fan. All that energy got us digging through the history books to revisit a legendary moment when millions gathered along Lake Erie to celebrate our city’s resilience.

Think you know the lakefront’s golden era as well as this week’s biggest headlines? Test your knowledge with our weekly quiz. We’re diving into major local news, from high-stakes decisions by city oversight bodies regarding surveillance tech to gas tax relief and new opportunities for residents.
