The Cleveland Cavaliers were one of last season's surprise NBA teams, far exceeding expectations. With the regular season set to tip off Wednesday, Oct. 19, Crain's sports business reporter Joe Scalzo talked with The Landscape about what fans can expect from the Cavs this year, as hopes are even higher following the major off-season move to acquire All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell.

Former Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley seeks to become just the third Democrat elected Ohio governor in the last 40 years. Whaley talked with The Landscape about the need for more economic investment to create jobs statewide, her "One Good Job Pledge" program that she says will provide the state with the trained workers it desperately needs, and more.

Enrollment at colleges and universities has been declining. What's driving the drop? Crain's Cleveland Business higher education reporter Amy Morona talks with The Landscape about some of the reasons fewer people are attending school these days, and what administrators are doing to try reverse that trend.
