Still shaking off winter break? If our first quiz question of 2026 feels a little more Hollywood than City Hall, let’s blame a few extra movie nights on the couch. But don’t worry — the rest of this week’s quiz gets back to what really shapes daily life in Cleveland. From changes meant to address long-standing neighborhood issues, to thousands of residents signing up for cheaper internet, to big decisions facing CMSD families in the year ahead, this is a quick look back at the news that mattered in 2025. 

If one of your New Year’s resolutions is paying a little closer attention to what’s happening around you, consider this your first weekly check-in.

Before we get started, let’s give a shout-out to quiz takers Kaushik S. and Terrell P. for scoring 100% on the last quiz of 2025. Well done!
