This Ohio Restaurant Has Served Hungarian Hot Dogs Since 1932 Beneath Walls Covered In Signed Buns
Burt Reynolds signed a hot dog bun in 1972. Most restaurants would’ve tossed it. This Ohio spot started collecting autographs instead. Now the walls are covered with signatures from presidents, musicians, actors, and even astronauts. And no, those buns haven’t been sitting there getting stale for decades. The originals...

Gibsonburg students bring out wackiness of 'The Addams Family'
A grown Wednesday finds love in "The Addams Family" musical as the story comes to life through the Gibsonburg High School drama students. After a successful dress rehearsal on Nov. 12 by the Gibsonburg High School Drama Club, students are looking forward to a weekend of fun as the wacky family that was introduced to the world in their popular 1960s sitcom. “'The Addams Family' musical is specifically about Wednesday growing older and finding the love of her life and the two families meeting for the first time, and how that plays out, between the Addams Family and your traditional typical normal family, and how they can relate,” Gibsonburg High School Drama Club Director Katy Kohman said. This story takes place several years after the sitcom story, where Wednesday, the daughter in the Addams family, is grown and in her early-to-mid-20s. Kohman said that the musical includes all the expected cast of characters, including Uncle Fester, Gomez and Morticia Addams, Lurch and Pugsley. She said that standout performances are made by the family unit of the Addams. “The Addams really are a cohesive unit and all work well together and emulate both the original source material of 'The Addams Family,'

Couple to tie the knot Friday the 13th at Toledo funeral museum
For a Grand Rapids, Mich., couple, it all started at their local haunted house. When Ryan Reyher met Stephanie Briceno-Rosas at the Haunt in Grand Rapids in the summer of 2020, he was immediately smitten, he said. “I thought she was gorgeous,” Mr. Reyher said of his first impression. But it wasn’t just her looks that attracted him: “She was really caring and her aspirations were really cool.” He asked her out at the end of August, 2020, and their relationship blossomed. Six years later, the couple, who share a love of all things spooky, plan to marry on Friday the 13th at Mortuary Manor Funeral Museum & Event Center, a museum housed in a Victorian-era building that later served as a funeral home in Toledo. “We were looking for kind of a gothic venue within our budget,” Mr. Reyher said. “We decided to reach out and see if we could host a wedding there, and he was more than happy to do it.” Friday’s wedding is the first for the museum, said Cory Leibenguth, operational manager of Mortuary Manor. The building dates to the 1870s and was remodeled into a mansion-style structure in 1897, he said. It became Urbanski

To the editor: All money went to oil companies
It never ceases to amaze me how people are seemingly confused by the truth. To all those who have made excuses for the drubbing the Republicans just took, including the vice president, I offer the following simple facts: It’s the economy, stupid! Remember that phrase? Read more letters to the editor Simply drive down any main street and look at the posted gas and diesel prices! Go to the grocery store and look at the prices! Go to McDonald’s and look at the prices! $8 for a Big Mac! Want to buy a house? Aside from the unaffordable price, the interest rate on the mortgage is hard to imagine, let alone pay! Finally, when the oil companies post their earnings, you’ll know where most of the money went. For a country supposedly energy independent, this must be some kind of sick joke except that we Americans are paying for it. America First isn’t a suggestion. The Democratic platform was affordability , now it’s time to deliver!

City continues leaf collection efforts into the weekend
City crews will continue collecting leaves in certain parts of the city over the weekend, and begin collection in other parts during the week of Nov. 16, officials announced Friday. Crews will continue collection efforts in ZIP codes 43607 and 43614 this weekend and begin collection in ZIP codes 43605 and 43612 during the week. Residents in those areas should get their leaves to the curb as soon as possible and should limit on-street parking so as to not hamper collection efforts. People are discouraged from placing leaves in the street weeks ahead of time, as it can clog sewers and cause flooding. For a full schedule and map, visit toledo.oh.gov/leaf-pickup . Unless people live in a second-pass area, they should not place leaves in the street once the area has been serviced. At that point, their options are to compost the leaves, dispose of them in their gray trash container, or take the leaves to one of five drop-off locations for free disposal. The drop-off locations are: ● Bowman Park, 4671 Jackman Rd. ● Detwiler Park, 3775 Manhattan Blvd. ● Ravine Park I, 1600 Mott Ave. ● Woodsdale Park, 1226 Woodsdale Ave. ● Elmdale Woodlot, 221 Elmdale Rd.

Data center restrictions gain momentum across northwest Ohio
Successful citizen-led ballot initiatives limiting the size of data centers have led to a flurry of activity in other Toledo-area municipalities since the Nov. 3 election, including Whitehouse, Waterville, and Rossford. Volunteers turned over signed petitions for those three communities on Thursday, Friday, and Monday, respectively. They claim they gathered more than enough signatures for the Lucas County Board of Elections to certify them and require each of those municipalities to put similar ballot issues in front of voters in those communities. Next up are Perrysburg, Maumee, and Bowling Green. Toledo, which would need many more signatures because of its size, could eventually be targeted as well, said Lyn Cox, county lead for Conserve Ohio’s grassroots efforts in Lucas and Wood counties. Petitions have come back from printers for Perrysburg and Maumee, and are expected to be available in the next day or two for Bowling Green, she said. In the coming weeks, citizen-led ballot initiatives also will begin in Sylvania and Holland, Ms. Cox said. The activity comes in the aftermath of Oregon’s overwhelming vote in favor of a charter amendment that bans the construction of data centers that require 25 megawatts or more of electricity, which eliminates hyperscale

From First Visit to Forever Home: Richard & Lynne Hudson’s Lakeside Story
Richard Hudson first discovered Lakeside while attending a retreat at Sawmill Creek in the mid-1980s. He had recently joined the faculty at the University of Toledo, where his wife had been employed for several years. A colleague asked Richard and his wife, Lynne, whether they knew about Lakeside. Neither had heard of it, so on their way home, they made the short drive across Sandusky Bay to see what it was all about.

Unison Health opens a campus offering youth a safe place to heal close to home
Young people who have experienced trauma need care tailored to their needs. Amy Kobold, Unison Health’s chief operating officer, described one young person for whom using the bathroom felt unsafe because of past trauma — a reminder that effective care must be responsive to each child. “Our youth have unique backgrounds,” she said. “For him, the bathroom was a trigger. So working on what it looked like for him to take a shower and use the restroom in a way that was safe for him, that was very unique to him.” The recognition that each child’s personal history may shape their triggers informed Unison Health’s goal of providing a safe, structured, and supportive environment for youth with behavioral health needs. On Thursday, the mental health and substance abuse health system celebrated the grand opening of its Child Wellness Campus, a facility designed to provide timely assessment and support in a safe setting close to home for children and youth involved in the child welfare system. “These children have been through so much, things that they should have never experienced to begin with, and they present as angry and aggressive,” Ms. Kobold said. “And after some time passes, and you start
