• As iconic Ohio golf course closes long PGA Tour chapter, emotions run high (usatoday.com) — A Green resident, Glenda Buchanan, is among the longtime volunteers mourning the end of Firestone Country Club’s 72‑year run with the PGA Tour, as the Kaulig Companies Championship wrapped up in Akron. Her decades of work, plus memories from pros and fans, highlight how deeply this nearby course and tournament have shaped local lives, charities, and sports pride. 
• Big Boy's Return, Skyway Drive-In Closes After Nearly 75 Years: CLE Daily (clevelandmagazine.com) — Skyway Drive-In, a longtime northeast Ohio favorite that once operated a location in Green, has closed its original Fairlawn restaurant after nearly 75 years of carside burger service. The owners reflect on its role as a community gathering spot, while the site is set to become a Dutch Brothers Coffee, signaling another shift from local, family-run traditions to national chains.
