Here are the top three stories today in Lakewood:

1. A proposed Ohio bill would let younger teens work later hours during the school year. Currently, 14- and 15-year-olds are allowed to work until 7:00 p.m., but if the new bill passes they will be able to work until 9:00 p.m. on school days. Walter Snyder, manager of Angelo’s Pizza in Lakewood said, "We see a lot of younger kids coming in ready to work. I think it would be good for the workforce to try to get anybody and everybody who wants to work involved." (WKBN.com)
2. Chef Andrew Mansour is planning to open a modern, shareable steakhouse with "a big-city feel" in Lakewood! Artis Restaurant will most likely open in late spring or early summer 2023 at 17900 Detroit Avenue. (Cleveland.com)
