With spring in full swing, the bees are buzzing. And last week, Documenters had no shortage of encounters with B’s — the Browns, Burke, and ballots, that is. They covered those topics and more, including plans for an East Side lakefront trail. Plus, a Cleveland City Council committee paused a proposal for street resurfacing. Check out the highlights in this week’s episode.
