The weather is holding up, CMSD students are back in their classrooms, and the Guardians are making that late-August push toward first place in the division. With a late Labor Day right around the corner, late summer in Cleveland is in full swing. Before we traded crisp stadium air for cozy sweater season, local music fans used to spend these late-summer days packing massive outdoor shows. But do you remember the name of the legendary 1970s concert series that routinely brought thousands of rock fans into Cleveland Municipal Stadium?
If stadium rock history isn’t your strong suit, don’t worry — there was plenty happening across Greater Cleveland this week to keep you on your toes. From hospital policy debates in federal court to City Hall economic deals, we’re breaking down the local headlines you need to know. Put your local knowledge to the test and see how well you followed the news this week!
Before we get started, let’s give a shout-out to quiz takers Erick G., Ben D., Chris E., Phil R., Donna W., Justin V., Kaushik S., Sal N., Martha G., James S., Carey J., Jennifer R. and Cat C. for scoring 100% on last week’s news quiz. Well done.
Ready. Set. Quiz.
