The late October chill is setting in, and the annual backyard battle against falling leaves is officially in full swing across Greater Cleveland. Combine that yard work routine with the Browns keeping us on the edge of our seats and you’ve got the perfect backdrop for a crisp fall weekend. Think you’re fully tapped into what makes this city tick — past and present? If you consider yourself a true Clevelander, it’s time to prove your credibility.

We start this week’s quiz with a moment of local transit history that put Cleveland on the map before diving straight into the news shaping our city today. Test your knowledge on police accountability measures, a new proposal to keep neighborhood grocery stores afloat and a debate over how City Council members spend discretionary funds.

Before we get started, let’s give a shout-out to quiz takers Caitlin M., Carl L., Donna W., Josh K., Kaushik S., Martha G., Rebecca C., Renee L. and Sal N. for scoring 100% on last week’s news quiz. Well done.
