Best of the Blotter

Movie-Theater Mishap & Mani-Pedi Refused: Best of the Blotter

The most bizarre police reports from departments throughout Northeast Ohio.

Northeast Ohio police departments have been busy with plenty of outlandish offenses. Here are the weirdest reports of the week. All information was provided by police reports from departments in Patch communities. No mani-pedi here: Charles Swinney wouldn't take 'no' for an answer when it came to his nails.

POLL: Should Stores Be Open on Thanksgiving?

Target employee starts petition effort on Change.org

More than 187,000 have signed a petition started by a Nebraska Target employee on Change.org to "save Thanksgiving" by having Black Friday sales start at 5 a.m. rather than at midnight. Anthony Hardwick said a midnight opening robs employees of time off with their families on Thanksgiving. That started 26 other campaigns on Change.org to get Kohl's, Best Buy, Macy's and other stores to change their midnight openings, said Benjamin Joffe-Walt, director of communications for Change.org. What do you think? Take our poll – you can also explain your vote with a message in the "comments" box.

Frugal Family: Pictures for Penny Pinchers

Purchasing precious photos of your loved ones is easy and affordable with these offers

When a special family photo is on display, it is a captured memory to recall and enjoy for many years. My husband and I love looking at photos of our children, especially those in which they are showing off their latest abilities. Yes, most would agree with the adage "a picture is worth a thousand words.” If you are like us, though, it is hard to find the time and money to print the photos we have taken and to have professional ones done in a studio. I am discovering, however, that we and other frugal families easily can obtain a great variety of photos to organize in albums and hang on the walls without breaking the bank. Ashamedly, we have years’ worth of images to print off. The deals listed below are helping us with our goal of having …
