Football season has given us plenty to talk about, but Cleveland has a lot more going on right now than the Browns’ final record. This week’s news quiz shifts the focus to what’s happening across the region, from changes at City Hall to decisions that affect families and homeowners. We’re also looking ahead to 2026, with a major local milestone on the horizon. Consider this a quick check-in on where Greater Cleveland is headed as the new year gets underway.

Before we get started, let’s give a shout-out to quiz takers Dwayne D., Erick G., George B., Jaden S., Jared G., John C., Kaushik S., Kimberly S., Leslie W., Loyal B., Mary D., Mike H., Salvatore N., Terrell P., Thomas K. and Yvette H. for scoring 100% on last week’s quiz. Well done!

Ready. Set. Quiz.
