Sustainable Heights Encourages Residents to Join 'Fresh Mob'

Businesses and organizations are celebrating Local Food Week with a series of events and specials that feature locally-sourced food.

Cleveland Heights has had its fair share of "mobs."

In February, the "Cash Mob," a group of shoppers ready to spend at least $20, hit Coventry's Big Fun. In April, the "Trash Mob" helped clean the streets in the Grant Deming's Forest Hill Historic District. And we're all familiar with flash mobs. 

This week, Sustainable Heights encourages people to join the "Fresh Mob" and eat local during Local Food Week, Oct. 1 through Oct. 6.
