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.
