Ep. 36 - Shade Junkies & Political Drama: Aging, Apartments, and a Mayor’s Wife Gone Rogue

It’s finally August, and the weather is (mercifully) less scorching—but the drama in local politics is heating up. In this episode, we unpack: The Sun vs. Age 40+: Why does the sun feel like kryptonite now? Floppy hats, umbrellas at baseball games, and the tragic downfall of sunscreen loyalty. Beachwood’s Apartment Boom: Do 451 new one-bedrooms actually attract young families—or just more shade-seeking residents? Plus, the shady ties between developers and former city employees. Cleveland Heights’ Unhinged Saga: A mayor’s wife walks into a stranger’s house (yes, really), a police chief gets thrown under the bus, and recall efforts spiral into chaos. A Wild Solution: What if Beachwood built senior housing in Chagrin Highlands instead of bulldozing office space? (Spoiler: It makes too much sense to happen.) Tune in for rants, revelations, and a surprise cameo from a Safety Town counselor who may or may not have finished her homework. Like, subscribe, and pray for cloud cover.
