'Superman Summer' in Cleveland includes trip to the Man of Steel's birthplace in Glenville
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Filmmakers recently left Cleveland after shooting necessary scenes for a Superman movie. And for a time, our town became Metropolis, Superman's fictional city.

Cleveland Public Health Department plans to relocate clinic to serve more clients, develop existing site as affordable housing
The City of Cleveland is looking at relocating a “lonely” clinic to a shared location and turning the former site at 3232 Lorain into affordable housing. Built in 1971, the 19,000 square-foot Thomas McCafferty building sits on 1.5 acres.

Governor deserves thanks for extra traffic enforcement east of downtown Cleveland
I am relieved to read that Ohio State Highway Patrol Troopers will be targeting Interstate 90 from Cleveland to Euclid (”Troopers upping presence on I-90,” July 17). I travel this route to and from work almost daily and I see so much irresponsible driving. The speeding is bad enough, but the weaving in and out across all four lanes, including cutting across three lanes to exit, is just dangerous. The fact that my father died in a car crash when he was just 48 is ever on my mind whenever I am in a car.
