Donations will be accepted through Jul. 17 at recycling bins located at the three fire stations in Lakewood.

- Plum Hill Creative Studio, a flexible space that allows creatives and entrepreneurs a place to conduct meetings, shoot photography, or record TikTok videos, will hold its grand opening on Thursday, Jun. 30 from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Madison Avenue location in Lakewood. The business is the vision of owner Ashley Rector who saw the need for a collective space. "We're hoping it inspires you to create content," said Rocky River resident Rector. (cleveland.com)
- Residents of the Cleveland area woke up to a swarm of mayflies everywhere Monday morning. The insects were brought in by a cold front that pushed over Lake Erie which created strong north/northwest winds. The good news is that mayflies are a sign of a healthy lake. (Cleveland 19 News)
