📰 Alert: Sex Offender Targeting Female Realtors in Northeast Ohio

A known convicted sex offender with a history of targeting female real estate agents in Northeast Ohio was believed to be active again, prompting safety concerns among local agents. In response, the Akron Cleveland Association of Realtors issued an alert identifying this specific offender. However, recent developments have cleared this individual as a person of interest in the current case. Despite this, real estate agents remain on high alert as another person has been spotted attending open houses, raising significant concerns within the real estate community. Realtors are urged to take precautions, such as thoroughly researching clients and avoiding hosting open houses alone.

🌁 Northeast Ohio Experiences Hazy Skies Due to Canadian Wildfires

Canadian wildfires are currently affecting air quality in Northeast Ohio. The region experienced significant haze on May 16, raising concerns similar to those seen in 2023 when wildfires last impacted the area.

The air quality deteriorated on Wednesday and was expected to remain poor through Friday this past week. Since then, weather conditions have started to improve, bringing cleaner air to the region.

Residents are advised to take precautions when we experience this haze, especially those with respiratory issues.
