🏗️ Cleveland Clinic Wants To Build Big + Cops Miss DNA Opportunity
Cleveland Daily: Catch up quickly on what you need to know today across Greater Cleveland.
The Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday did what the Browns could not — overcome their own mistakes — on the way to a 117-107 overtime win over the Washington Wizards in their home opener at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. Can we forget the Browns game? Can we pretend it didn't happen? I guess we can’t, no matter how many beers we down to drown our sorrow. The Browns found a way to lose to the Ravens, 23-20, in another nail biter that extends their losing streak to four games.
If you were screaming after that game, so were the Browns.
At least the weather feels good today. Like spring!

Really Big Building Designed For Carnegie Avenue

1) The Cleveland Clinic is planning a 1-million-square-foot building on Carnegie Avenue between East 89th and East 90th streets. Designed as the new home to the Neurological Institute, the building will be the Clinic’s largest ever. It will stand 243 feet high with 14 stories. The biggest building currently is the Glickman Tower at 218 feet, with 12 floors and 330,000 square feet. The design review committee of the city planning commission will get a first look this week.
2) Almost 15,000 criminals and suspects in Cuyahoga County were not swabbed for DNA by authorities from 2010 to 2016, according to a Cleveland State University study, a huge lapse in forensics that could have solved many cold cases — most notably murders and rapes. The study was published in the Journal of Forensic Sciences. The lapses were mostly the responsibility of Cleveland Police. “This was a much larger issue than what we initially thought it would be,” said author Rachel Lovell, the director of Cleveland State’s Criminology Research Center. “It was a wide scale problem.”
3) More than 7,000 pounds of Bob Evans pork sausage sold in Ohio has been recalled because the sausage may contain pieces of thin blue rubber. The product is the one-pound package of Bob Evans Italian Sausage with a lot code of XEN3663466 and a use-by and/or freeze-by date of Nov. 26, 2022, and a time stamp between 14:43 and 15:25. Bob Evans is based in Xenio, Ohio.
4) The haunted yard at 5900 Rosseau Drive in Parma is ready to scare the bejeebers out of you. Brothers Joel and Eric Andexler have been working on this outdoor haunted house, which actually spans four yards, for months. An $8 donation will go to the Parma Animal Shelter.

5) Cleveland and other Great Lakes port cities could play a role in resolving some of the supply-chain issues that are clogging East and West coast ports and delaying the transit of goods across the country. Called short-sea shipping, products like steel long have moved between Canada and Cleveland via Lake Erie. “We are basically trying to develop a solution that already exists and increase the knowledge in the supply chain industry that they have an option like this to use,” said David Gutheil, the chief commercial officer for the Port of Cleveland. This could also lead to more jobs here.
