COMMUNITY BLEND

Office Worker Breaks Into Business Through Window 📍 Westlake

A deer was frantically late for work at a Clemens Road office building, but instead of doing its makeup in the rearview mirror on I-480, it crashed through a window, frightening neighboring tenants.

Westlake’s finest tried to usher him out, but the panicked buck ran right back inside through another window (most likely because they forgot to put cover sheets on their TPS reports).

Eventually, after tiring himself out, he bolted for the woods, presumably to ice his cuts and rethink his career in office work.

RESTAURANT CLOSING

Stino da Napoli Bids Farewell After 34 Years 📍 Rocky River

After more than three decades in Rocky River, Stino da Napoli—known simply as “Stino’s” to many—will serve its final dinner on Saturday, December 20th.

Owner and chef Agostino Iacullo came to Cleveland in 1979 with $300 and a dream of bringing authentic Neapolitan cuisine to the city. Together with his wife Jill, a nurse at the Cleveland Clinic, the couple opened a small carry-out spot in 1991. Over the years, it grew into a full restaurant with seating for 100, countless accolades, and a reputation as one of Cleveland’s very best Italian kitchens.

From Silver Spoon Awards to visits from athletes, actors, and coaches, Stino’s has been more than a restaurant—it’s been a community treasure. Its closing marks the end of an era, but its legacy will live on in the many memories created around its tables.

🧠 TRIVIA

On September 8th, we celebrated the birthday of Lakewood native Ben Orr—born Benjamin Orzechowski—who went from Parma dropout to rock legend.

Orr’s early music career began with a local band called The Grasshoppers, performing on Cleveland’s own TV showcase Upbeat. But it wasn’t until the late ’70s and ’80s that he skyrocketed to fame as the smooth voice and bassist behind multiple Top 10 hits.

He was posthumously honored when his band was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2018.

Ben Orr was the bassist and co-lead vocalist for which legendary band that racked up four Top 10 hits and helped define the sound of a generation?
