[image-1]Crain’s has reported that 80-year-old Cleveland taxi company Yellow Cab, which includes Zone Cab, Westlake Cab and Express, will close.

The fleet of more than 120 cars and vans, and an estimated 220 drivers, has been affected by the growth of app-based ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft.

“This company is a dinosaur,” a driver told reporter Jay Miller.

The driver said he thought operations will be shutting down on June 25.

  1. Pro football’s practice squad was created by Paul Brown……and will forever be linked with Mickey McBride and his Yellow Cab Company. McBride – the founder and owner of the Browns – bankrolled the “taxi squad” by hiring the non-roster players as taxi drivers. McBride remains one of the most successful pro franchise owners in the history of sports and was a true sportsman of the gridiron: “Cleveland has been good to me. I’ve made a great deal of money here. If I was looking for a get-rich-quick investment, the last thing I’d do is buy a pro football club. It’s a risky business. Too much depends on ideal weather conditions, and this is no climate to risk a buck on a raindrop.”
