Taking a break from doomscrolling the national news to focus on what’s happening in our own backyard? We’ve got you covered with Signal Cleveland’s weekly local news quiz!

January has zipped by faster than free food in a newsroom, and while the national headlines might have your head spinning, there’s been plenty happening right here in Greater Cleveland that deserves your attention. From the grassy patches along our sidewalks (yes, there’s an official(ish) name for those!) to potential changes in how Cleveland employers screen job candidates, our city keeps moving forward.

So put down that phone, pause the national news notifications for a moment, and check to see how closely you’ve been following the stories that shape Greater Cleveland. After all, being an informed Clevelander means knowing what’s happening from City Hall to your local street corner – even if you can’t quite remember what that patch of grass between the sidewalk and street is called.

And, congrats to quiz takers Diane F., Brian M., Deb T., Greg D., Allison S. and Marge C. for scoring 100% on last week’s quiz.
