The weather is beautiful, school is out, and it’s officially peak season to get out and enjoy everything our city has to offer. Whether you’re heading down to the lakefront, catching a patio happy hour, or planning to catch a ride across the water in the Flats, there is no shortage of ways to tap into that local pride this week.

But before you log off for the weekend, let’s see how closely you’ve been tracking our local news and unique civics. We’ve got a fast, four-question roundup to test your Cleveland IQ on everything from river transit to major shakeups being proposed for our schools and county.
