• Beachwood takes on Fairmount Temple demolition after developer deal fails (cleveland.com) — Beachwood is taking direct responsibility for demolishing the fire-damaged former Fairmount Temple building on Fairmount Boulevard after a planned housing deal with a developer fell through. City leaders still favor senior-friendly housing on the 17.5-acre site, but for now are seeking demolition bids and preserving future financing options while leaving the final redevelopment plan undecided.
   

• Suspended driver takes off from traffic stop for bathroom break: Orange Police Blotter (cleveland.com) — A late-night traffic stop that began in Orange briefly shifted into Beachwood when a suspended driver fled police and left her car at the Beachwood Shell station to use the restroom.
