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 Chrome And Neon At The Spot Restaurant In Sidney, Ohio, Haven’t Changed Since 1941
Some towns keep their history in museums. Sidney, Ohio, keeps a big piece of it on a downtown corner, glowing under a mid-century neon sign. The story behind this corner started with a chuckwagon in 1907, and the building that stands there now still wears its Art Moderne style with pride.
