FROM THE EDITOR

Frankie Bunz

Cleveland has spent decades being underestimated by people who have either never been here, left too early, or still think the Flats look exactly like they did in 1983.

That’s fine.

The people who actually live here already know this city runs on loyalty, neighborhood pride, emotional support pierogies, and the strange confidence required to voluntarily sit on a patio near the lake in April.

And that is precisely why the Pun Factory Super Club Dispatch was founded:

to document the parts of Cleveland that don’t make the travel guides.

The personalities.

The local folklore.

The tiny acts of kindness.

The deeply specific grocery store debates.

The shirts.

And recently… the growing number of residents insisting they’ve seen a large caped figure somewhere near the lakefront. (Our Senior Reporter, Frank is looking into it)

Each issue includes:

- a local emotional weather report,

- a personality check,

- shirt-related developments,

- editorial corrections,

- public sightings,

- and occasional opportunities to participate in ongoing civic nonsense.

Because Cleveland is at its best when it stops trying to impress people and simply becomes itself:

a little gritty,

a little ridiculous,

unexpectedly charming,

and somehow still singing Michael Stanley songs like they’re legally binding civic documents.

Thanks for reading.

And if someone asks where you got the shirt,

you’ll know what to tell them.
