Did Beatles 1966 show set up Cleveland as a rock Mecca ...
CLEVELAND, Ohio – With apologies to a senior enlisted man in the British army, it was nearly 50 years ago today that Paul McCartney and the other Beatles were here to play. Now, within days of that anniversary, McCartney will be back in town for a pair of nights, playing music from then, his post-Beatles years with Wings and as a solo artist. It's as good a time as any to reflect on what was . . . and what could have been. Plain Dealer "Teen Beat'' editor and rock writer Jane Scott noted in he..>> view originalPatrick Murray wants to kick for the Cleveland Browns (and wants ...
BEREA, Ohio -- The man wearing No. 2 for the Browns this training camp is small in stature and is competing for a starting job. You've heard that before. This year, though, that man is a kicker, his name is Patrick Murray, he's coming back from a torn ACL and his first sports love is a different kind of football: Gaelic football. Murray, like his mother, Linda, was born in New Jersey. The 25-year-old though isn't shy about his affection for where his father, Aidan, was born. "Ireland's home,..>> view originalCleveland Indians, Los Angeles Angels series preview, pitching ...

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- With his comment about 'Second Amendment people', Donald Trump insulted gun-rights advocates and assassinated presidential campaign decorum. For the NRA, "Second Amendment people" are God-fearing, law abiding, patriots. To hear Donald Trump, they could also be potential political assassins. At a rally in North Carolina, Trump infamously said, "Hillary want's to abolish -- essentially abolish the Second Amendment. By the way, and if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you ..>> view originalCleveland Indians baseball cards 2016: Draft facts
CLEVELAND, Ohio – Our Throwback Thursday series of Cleveland Indians Topps baseball cards continues with a non-throwback look – this year’s team. In the current set of cards, Topps went for a bit of special effects, giving these cards a bit of a cloud-like appearance. The 2015 Indians went 81-80, and the 2016 team is on pace to better that mark. (Reminder: The card year is the production year, so 2016 indicates statistics through the 2015 season, for instance.) This week, with each photo we’ll..>> view originalDon't cry for the 'Suicide Squad': Minister of Culture
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- After noting the Olympic-sized trashing the comic-book superhero movie "Suicide Squad" received from critics (33 out of 100 on Rotten Tomatoes), I was in no hurry to see it. But my friend Shorty insisted it was a cultural milestone not to be missed, and off we went. I'm happy to report it wasn't nearly as bad as most of the reviews claimed. In fact, I rather enjoyed it and will say with confidence that when compared to that last "X-Men" debacle, it looks like "Gone With the ..>> view originalPlan It calendar: 8-11

CLEVELAND, Ohio – After months of contentious debate and public hearings, Cleveland City Council officially has rejected a proposal to set the city's minimum wage at $15 an hour. But the "Fight for $15" movement still has a lot of fight left in it, as organizers now turn their attention toward their remaining options for getting the issue on the November ballot. Council members on Wednesday night voted down the proposal, with only Councilman Jeffrey Johnson supporting it.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Indians signed Mike Napoli to a one-year, $7 million deal over the winter. To this point, it has been a bargain. Napoli has served as a potent power threat in the middle of the Indians' batting order, a missing piece in recent years in Cleveland. The first baseman has slugged a team-high 28 home runs, to go along with 79 RBI. He needs two homers and 13 RBI to match his career highs for each category. His 28 homers are the most by an Indians player since Grady Sizemore s..>> view originalSan Francisco adopts bail-setting algorithm Cleveland hopes to use ...
