Northeast Ohio school closings and delays for Wednesday, Jan. 17, 2024; Cleveland city schools close
CLEVELAND, Ohio — School districts throughout Northeast Ohio, including Cleveland Metropolitan School District, are canceling classes for Wednesday, with forecasts calling for dangerously cold temperatures early in the morning.
The National Weather Service has issued a wind chill advisory for much of Northeast Ohio, including Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Medina, Portage, Stark, Summit and Trumbull counties. Forecasts say it will be about 5 to 6 degrees during the time children usually wait for bus pickup or walk to school, but wind chills will make it feel like minus-16.
The advisory is in effect until noon Wednesday. Temperatures eventually will climb into the low 20s, but it will remain windy throughout the day, with gusts up to 31 mph.
Here is a list of school closings and delays from WKYC Channel 3. All schools listed are closed Wednesday unless otherwise noted.

A trio of locally made films will grace area screens, here is your Movie Nerd Report for the week of May 11-17.
Thursday evening will bring the red-carpet premiere of “The Last Shop On Walnut” at the Cedar Lee Theatre (2163 Lee Rd Cleveland Heights, OH 44118) . The film, which was written and directed by Jason Richardson, was mostly shot in Ravenna. It stars Peter Lawson Jones and Cleveland native Kym Whitley. The screening will benefit the Charles & Margaret Jones Endowed Scholarship Fund at College Now. Tickets can be found at this link.
Can’t make the premiere? The Cedar Lee will be playing the film for at least a full week starting Friday!
“Blood & Rust” the debut feature from Kent State alumni Jeremy Herbert, will be coming to Cranked Up TV on May 19 and The Ashland Cinema (212 Center Street Ashland, OH 44805) will be offering a screening of it this Friday evening at 7 p.m., and it is free!
Sunday at 3:30 p.m. the Capitol Theatre (1390 W.65th Street Cleveland, OH 44102) will present the directorial debut of Frank Calo IV in “Last Call”. Sounds like this one is poised to sell out so click here to grab your tickets.
Over at the Cleveland Cinematheque (11610 Euclid Ave Cleveland, OH 44118) :
Cleveland is fortunate to be one of the five select cities of the Future of Film Is Female Series which highlights films from female and nonbinary filmmakers. The first film in this series kicks off Thursday at 6:30 p.m. with the Midwest road trip film, “Dreams In Nightmares.”
Thursday at 9 p.m. and Friday at 9 p.m. they will present a 4K Restoration of the Dutch classic “Malpertius,” which features Orson Welles.

They also will be playing the documentary “Steal This Story, Please,” which highlights independent investigative journalist Amy Goodman.
More Information about the films and ticket prices are at: nightlightcinema.com
This weekend there are a trio of new films opening in wide release: The first is one that I would recommend if you are a horror fan – “Obsession”. This film continues a trend where we are seeing Youtubers become filmmakers, in this case it is 26-year-old Curry Barker. This is a spin on “be careful what you wish for” when a young man makes a wish for his crush to love him more than anything else in the world, and it gets increasingly disturbing from there. I personally loved it and thought the performance from actress Inde Navarrette will make her a star.
“Is God Is” is a revenge tale which was based on an award-winning play by Alesha Harris. Harris makes her feature directorial debut and currently the film stands at 95% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes!
The other film opening is the latest from director Guy Ritchie, the action-thriller “In The Grey” with Jake Gyllenhall and Henry Cavill.
Rounding out this busy week are some anniversaries hitting screens in “Top Gun” and “Top Gun: Maverick” for one week to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of Tony Scott’s original, and the original “Shrek” is also playing for one week to commemorate its 25th Anniversary (Anniversaries like this are making your resident movie nerd feel old!).
Lastly, I just wanted to wish congratulations to my longtime friend Dave Huffman, who has just been named the new director of The Cleveland Cinematheque! If you have ever attended some of the Late Shift Series back in the day at the Cedar Lee or Capitol, or the 12 Hours of Terror, you know that Dave is a huge cinephile and I am certain will do a great job at the Cinematheque!
Until next week my friends, see ya at the movies!

Cleveland firefighters battle restaurant fire on East side
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – Firefighters battled a grease fire inside a restaurant in the city’s University neighborhood Tuesday morning.
Flames broke out at BurgerIM in the 11400 block of Euclid Ave. around 9:20 a.m.
Cleveland Fire Lt. Mike Norman said there was grease in the hood of the stove, and when someone started cooking, it started the fire.
According to Lt. Norman, the sprinklers inside the restaurant put out the flames.
At this time, damage is estimated at $25,000.
The apartment building was evacuated as a precaution.
Since the fire was inside a restaurant, health officials will now respond to the scene and determine when they can reopen.
There were no injuries.

New Jersey couple indicted in alleged Cleveland-area real estate investment scam
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – A New Jersey couple has been indicted for allegedly running an investment scam on real estate properties in Northeast Ohio.
According to the Department of Justice (DOJ), the couple is being accused of taking investors’ money with a promise to receive high returns on the development of real estate properties mostly in the Cleveland area.
The scam operated as a Ponzi scheme, with victims being misled and lied to, and some early investors paid with funds from later investors.
The DOJ said the couple are 50-year-old Gregory Parker and 50-year-old Danielle Parker, both of New Jersey, and both are being indicted with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and wire fraud.
According to allegations in the 65-page indictment, the married couple carried about the real estate investment scheme between January 2017 to December 2023.
Victims believed they were purchasing properties in the Cleveland and East Cleveland areas, to be developed into multi-family dwellings that would generate above-market returns from rental income.
Instead, the Parkers took the investors’ money and used it to repay earlier investors and fund their lavish lifestyle.
Investigators learned the couple would host seminars in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ohio, including one in the Cleveland Hyatt Regency in May 2022, the DOJ said.
People and potential victim investors would attend the seminars after seeing the Parkers’ luxurious lifestyle on a social media platform.
Victim investors were typically charged between $2,000 to $5,000 to enroll in the Parker’s real estate investment and mentorship program, and then the couple would purportedly obtain rental properties on the victim’s behalf in exchange for an agreed-upon down payment.
The DOJ said victims would receive little information about the properties they believed to have purchased, and when they would contact the Parkers, the couple would often have delayed responses or run-around excuses.
Investigators found that some victims never received a property, or they received a property without a clear title, or others received a condemned, dilapidated or otherwise uninhabitable property and were forced to sell, or attempt to sell, the property they did receive at a loss.
While the indictment focuses on 13 victims, investigators believe there are more, the DOJ said.
The Department of Justice said if you believe to be a victim in the matter to contact the Cleveland FBI ParkerInvestorTips@fbi.gov with “Parker Investor” in the subject line.
If the couple is convicted, each defendant’s sentence will be determined by the Court after a review of factors unique to the case, including prior criminal records, if any, roles in the offense, and the characteristics of the violations.
