The Cavaliers are walking away from a $140 million deal to renovate and upgrade the 22-year-old Quicken Loans Arena.  The organization says delays have made the project unfeasible.  The deal called for the Cavaliers and taxpayers to split the costs.  But community groups were opposed to the use of public money and sought to put the issue before voters.

Retail giant Amazon will soon rise out of the rubble on the site of the demolished Randall Park Mall.  The company has inked a deal with the Village of North Randall to build a massive order fulfillment center on a parcel of land where the mall once stood.  It's a move that could bring 2,000 jobs.

Then, we'll hear the stories of three former Painesville residents who were removed from Northeast Ohio and returned to Mexico to a dangerous border town.
