🍿 Look Up! Cleveland (and Mentor) Stars in the New Superman Movie

The new Superman movie is more than just a summer blockbuster—it’s a showcase of Northeast Ohio, with scenes filmed right here in Mentor and throughout Cleveland. Movie trailers reveal familiar landmarks like Public Square, Progressive Field, and The Arcade, transformed into parts of Superman’s world. Notably, Headlands Beach State Park in Mentor was also used during filming, putting our own backyard on the big screen. While the Glenville homes of Superman’s creators don’t appear in the trailer, local fans can take pride in knowing our region played a key role in bringing the superhero’s story to life.

📰 New Q2 Data: Mentor’s Industrial Sector Stable with 2.1% Vacancy Rate

While industrial vacancy rates across Greater Cleveland rose slightly in Q2 2025, Mentor and Lake County continued to show market stability, according to the latest CoStar report prepared by the City of Mentor’s Planning & Development Department.

Covering 454 million square feet of industrial space across eight Northeast Ohio counties, the region’s vacancy rate rose to 4.2%, up from 3.5% in Q1 and 3.4% year-over-year.

In contrast, Lake County, with approximately 40 million square feet across 1,343 buildings, maintained a low 2.2% vacancy rate, unchanged from Q1 and slightly lower than last year’s 2.3%.

Mentor, which represents 36% of Lake County’s industrial market—roughly 14 million square feet—reported a 2.1% vacancy rate, down from 2.2% in Q1 but up from 1.3% a year earlier. Around 190,000 square feet in the city is currently available.

Despite regional increases, Mentor continues to offer a solid industrial environment with competitive vacancy rates and multiple large space options.

✈️ Lobsters, Lighthouses, and Lazy Days: A Clevelander’s Guide to Summering in Maine

If you're a Clevelander looking for a breezy summer getaway that blends natural beauty, fresh seafood, and small-town charm, Maine should top your list. With its rocky coastline, welcoming towns, and laid-back pace, it’s a New England escape that feels both adventurous and familiar.

Where to Stay

Start by picking your home base. Each town offers a different flavor of Maine:

• Ogunquit is a postcard-perfect beach town, ideal for families and couples. Walk the scenic Marginal Way for sweeping ocean views, then grab pizza and craft beer at Cornerstone. Anchorage by the Sea offers seaside comfort with fire pits and lawn chairs made for sunset watching.

• Portland, Maine’s largest city, has a lively arts and food scene without big-city fuss. Stroll the cobblestone streets of the Old Port, hop on a harbor cruise, and dine at Central Provisions for creative American fare. Stay at The Press Hotel, a former newspaper building turned boutique hotel with striking design.

• Damariscotta is perfect for those who prefer peaceful riverside vibes. Take a cruise to learn about local oyster farming, or drive to nearby Boothbay Harbor for a taste of classic coastal Maine. There are no hotels here—opt for a cozy vacation rental.

What to Do

Maine is made for day trips. From Ogunquit, explore York’s famous lighthouse or browse Kennebunkport’s shops. From Portland, hit the beach at Old Orchard or explore Cape Elizabeth’s scenic shores. If you’re staying near Damariscotta, visit Rockland or Camden for arts, harbor views, and good eats.

Acadia National Park, about 2.5 hours north of Damariscotta, is well worth the drive. The Park Loop Road gives you a one-day glimpse of this coastal gem—but go early to avoid crowds.

Where to Eat

Maine’s coastal cuisine centers around lobster rolls, oysters, and fried seafood. For an authentic experience, head to Barnacle Billy’s in Ogunquit or Cape Neddick Lobster Pound in York. Want to cook your own? Harbor Fish Market in Portland offers everything from fresh fillets to seafood-ready marinades.

Getting There

Fly into Boston for cheaper fares or Portland for convenience. To truly explore beyond the city, a rental car is essential. But if you stay in Portland, you can get by on foot and rideshare apps.

From lighthouses to lobster rolls, summer in Maine is pure New England magic—just a flight and a few hours from Cleveland.

⚾ Guardians Top White Sox as Kwan Drives in Two, Bibee Earns First Win Since May

The Cleveland Guardians extended their strong run with a 6–2 victory over the Chicago White Sox Saturday night, led by Kyle Manzardo’s go-ahead homer and a multi-RBI game from Steven Kwan.

Manzardo broke a 2-2 tie in the sixth with a solo shot off Jordan Leasure, helping Tanner Bibee earn his first win since May. Kwan followed with a sacrifice fly in the seventh and an RBI single in the ninth. José Ramirez added another run as Cleveland pulled away late.

Bibee allowed two runs over 5 2/3 innings, and the bullpen was perfect, with Sabrowski, Smith, and Festa combining to finish the game.

Cleveland opened the scoring with a Carlos Santana RBI single in the first and added another run on Angel Martinez’s sac fly in the fourth. Chicago tied it in the bottom half but failed to score again.

A key moment came in the fifth when Bibee escaped a jam with a strikeout and double play after four straight singles. Ramirez contributed a walk, steal, and RBI in the win.

The Guardians have now won five of their last six heading into the All-Star break.

⚾ Devers, Hartle Lead Captains to 8–5 Victory Over West Michigan

The Lake County Captains defeated the West Michigan Whitecaps 8–5 on Saturday night, powered by strong early offense and a dominant outing from Josh Hartle.

Offensively, Lake County racked up 14 hits. Jose Devers had a monster game, launching a three-run homer in the first and driving in two more with a single in the seventh. He finished with five RBIs.

Juan Benjamin added an RBI double in the second, and Kevin Rivas chipped in with a run-scoring single during a five-run seventh that extended the Captains’ lead to 8–0.

The Whitecaps responded in the bottom of the seventh with five runs, highlighted by Austin Murr’s three-run double and an RBI single from Peyton Graham, but couldn’t complete the rally.
