It’s Saturday, so you know I have an update for you about check points for today. Below I’ve posted a part of an email from The Ohio State Highway Patrol with details about the check point in Cuyahoga County tonight. It will run from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. As always, we are posting...
As an update to the blog post yesterday about check points for this weekend, we got an email from The Ohio State Highway Patrol this afternoon with more details.
