Summer’s creeping in, Cleveland — and we’re here for it. The sun’s out (most of the time), the grills are firing up, and the Guardians are battling for the top spot in the AL Central. Whether you’re planning your Memorial Day cookout or just trying to remember where you packed your shorts, we’ve got the perfect warm-up for your brain: this week’s Signal Cleveland news quiz.

It’s a little local history, a little current events, and a lot of “Wait, that happened this week?” We’re talking budget math at CMSD, changes coming to one Cleveland neighborhood, and a college art rental program that somehow lets students live with actual Picassos. (We’re not saying we’re jealous … but we are.)

So grab a lemonade, find a sunny spot (or a shady one, we don’t judge), and see how much Cleveland knowledge you’ve got stashed between your ears. Whether you ace it or learn something new, you’re part of what makes this city buzz. Let’s dive in.

And hey, no pressure — it’s not graded. Unless you’re keeping score at home. In which case … good luck.

On that note, congrats to quiz takers Diane F., Keith G., Jillian S., BG M., Linda H., Marge C., and David L. for scoring 100% on last week’s quiz.

For Clevelanders. Supported by Clevelanders.

Every day, our team tells the stories that reflect Greater Cleveland — its people, its challenges, and its progress. We hold leaders accountable, highlight real solutions, and make sure all voices are heard.

This year alone, we’ve broken down how policy decisions at the state and federal levels are impacting our neighborhoods. We’ve kept a close watch on local politics — from the race for Cleveland City Council to the decisions behind Mayor Justin Bibb’s $2.1 billion budget proposal.

We’re also celebrating Clevelanders — like Stefan Johnson, aka “Snack Daddy,” who became a viral sensation, and the East Tech High School robotics team chasing their championship dreams.

We’re here for Cleveland, every single day. And we’re always free to read.
