Two holiday films shot in Medina get release dates
Christmas is coming a bit early for fans of holiday films and movies with Northeast Ohio ties. Two Christmas movies that used Medina and other Northeast Ohio locations as backdrops over last winter now have dates when they will begin streaming. Both films used Medina's Castle Noel Christmas Museum as filming locations. And both feature the same actor as the romantic interest. “ The Great Chocolate Date ” is set to begin streaming on Plex on Tuesday, Nov. 10. The movie directed by Lindsay Hartley weaves the tale of an overworked chiropractor who receives a decadent gift of chocolate. She sets out to find out the sender with the help of a local chocolatier and instead discovers some magic and love along the way. The film starring Harley Bronwyn and Ignacyo Matynia used locations around Medina's historic square, along with the interior of Castle Noel. Mark Klaus, who owns Castle Noel, said some set pieces, including a large chocolate globe, are now part of the museum's large collection of movie props. "We are super excited," he said. And it will mark the first time Mark and his wife, Dana, have appeared in a movie. The couple have made several appearances

Dalton's Silver Linden Park expands with new land and amenities
Silver Linden Park in Dalton now spans 7 acres, giving the community expanded walking paths, a pond, chapel, pavilions and playgrounds. The park marked its new beginning with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Oct. 27, according to a community announcement. Karen Potter, president of the Silver Linden Park Board, welcomed those attending the ceremony and shared the history of the park. The park, previously known as P. Graham Dunn Park, began in 2022 when Peter and LeAnna Dunn, founders of the P. Graham Dunn store, constructed and donated a 4.3-acre park for community use. The park was established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and included four White Oak timber-framed pavilions with tables, benches and lampposts, two playgrounds, more than 200 trees and a quarter-mile concrete walking path. In 2024, the Robert L. and Kathleen M. Polsky Foundation Community Fund, an unrestricted fund at the Wayne County Community Foundation, provided a $10,000 grant to purchase and plant 64 additional trees. Donation expands park to 7 acres ProVia, a manufacturer of doors, windows, siding, stone and roofing, purchased the former P. Graham Dunn manufacturing building in 2025. The property included a pond and chapel next to Silver Linden Park. In July, ProVia donated 2.7 acres

Pet of the Week, 11/11/26
Teeny, tiny pups are the right choice for some people. Easy to care for because of their size, able to be a constant companion, because they are mobile. And, absolutely adorable to look at! But be careful … You don’t wanna step on her! They can also get “under feet” which can be a concern for the adopter and the pup!

Sky High: Goodyear Balloonists Made History in 1913
Goodyear balloonists Ralph H. Upson and R.A.D. Preston covered 384 miles during the 1913 Gordon Bennett Cup international balloon race, which they won. Here, they pose in front of the Goodyear balloon they piloted during the race — which started in Paris, France. They raced for over 43 hours and 30 minutes. The pair had built Goodyear’s first airships. Preston and Upson brought attention to Akron with their victory and aeronautic work at Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. Upson was the chief engineer of the aeronautics department for Goodyear from 1914 to 1920. Preston had a street named after him in Akron to honor the 1913 victory: Preston Avenue, which you might travel on today if you pass through the Goodyear Heights neighborhood.

Coconut macaroon recipe by The West Side Bakery | Local Flavor at Home
Editor's Note: Local Flavor at Home is a monthly series featuring recipes from local bakers, chefs and other Akron-area foodies. This month, we're sharing a coconut macaroons recipe courtesy of Barb Talevich, owner of The West Side Bakery in Akron. Thirty-one years go by so fast! Proudly woman-owned, The West Side Bakery is passionate about creating delicious, made-from-scratch favorites for every occasion. From cakes, cookies and pastries, to savory sandwiches, salads and soups, all are made with quality ingredients and a whole lot of love. Family, food and hospitality have always been a big part of my life, so perhaps it was inevitable that I found my way into the bakery business. My grandfather owned a bakery where my mom spent her childhood, and later a restaurant in Canton, where I spent mine — creating many happy memories that I still cherish today. My aunt Millie ran a bakery from her home before joining me at The West Side Bakery. We opened the bakery in Pilgrim Square in 1995 with some of my favorite tried and true recipes that included our chocolate chip cookie, our signature carrot cake and our New York style cheesecake. These three items took off and
