2. Did you know that Northeast Ohio is a go for growing tropical flowers? Some examples of tropical flowers that do great in places like Avon and Avon Lakes included bougainvillea, mandevilla, dipladenia and hibiscus, all of which love to bask in the heat and full sun all summer long. (WJW FOX 8 News Cleveland)
3. There will be a free concert at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on Saturday, May 21, at 2 p.m. Joe Hertler & The Rainbow Seekers will play Motown, folk and funk music.
