While Cleveland's downtown resurgence gets plenty of local and national attention, in some neighborhoods there is a different narrative.  In those areas, youth violence tears at the fabric of family and community life.  It's a complex issue Cleveland is facing with no easy fix.    We'll talk to reporters from The Plain Dealer and Cleveland.com about a new reporting project that looks at what's working elsewhere and talk to community leaders about what might work here.

Plus, the Transplant Games of America brings a six-day sports competition to Cleveland.
