Mayfield High's junior/senior prom is Saturday and we want to see your photos.
Prom is one of those events that just scream "photo op." All those proud parents taking photos of their quickly grown-up teens heading off to the big event.

We asked the police chiefs in our Patches their favorite song, and made a Spotify playlist.
We're going to mix it up with our Spotify playlist this week. Instead of telling you what we're listening to, we're asking prominent people in the community what they're rockin'.

Here's the song each police chief chose (WARNING: SOME SONGS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR CHILDREN): "Star Spangled Banner," U.S. Coast Guard version: Fairlawn Chief Kenneth Walsh "Katmandu," Bob Seger: Lakewood Chief Timothy Malley "I Fought the Law," Bobby Fuller Four: Westlake Chief Richard Walling AND Avon Lake Chief David Owad "Hurricane," Bob Dylan: Mayfield Heights Detective Joe …

U.S. Senate candidate, Josh Mandel, spoke to members of the Mentor Area Chamber of Commerce Wednesday
Ohio Treasurer and U.S. Senate Candidate Josh Mandel met with business owners from the Mentor Area Chamber of Commerce for a Q & A Wednesday morning at Frank & Pauly's restaurant.

Will play Mentor at 4:30 p.m. today.
Mayfield High defeated Willoughby South 4-2 on Wednesday to advance to the baseball Division I Euclid District final. The Wildcats, 22-4 on the season, took an early lead on Willoughby South with single runs in the first and second innings on a sacrifice fly by Larry Pinto and ground out by Justin Bonchek, respectively. Both came with the bases loaded and Mayfield threatened to put the game away. Still, that was enough to win behind a strong outing by starting pitcher Matt Iosue, who held Willoughby South hitless until the seventh and final inning. The district final will be at 4:30 p.m. against Mentor, which defeated Shaker Heights 3-0 on Wednesday.

Highland Heights only used 57 percent of usual amount.
Fewer snowstorms meant less salt used on roads in Highland Heights, which already has a stockpile ready for next year. Service Director Thom Evans said the city typically uses about 4,200 tons of road salt a year, but only 2,400 tons were used last winter. The deadline's approaching for city approval to join with a state purchasing program for next year's supply and Evans said much less will be needed because of the reserves. "We have a lot on hand and we're going to have a lot more soon," he said, adding that the city has to accept another delivery from last year's order. At about $45 a ton, the savings from using 1,800 fewer tons was about $80,000.
Read the letter and tell us what you love about Cleveland
Chef Michael Symon, owner of Eton Plaza's B-Spot and other area restaurants, showed a little emotion and a lot of Cleveland pride in a touching love letter to Cleveland for The Huffington Post today. Raised in North Olmsted and a graduate of Lakewood's St. Edward High School, he reminisces about places all over the area: I remember when I was young and I would spend my entire weekends with you and my grandfather: heading to the Eastside and staying with my grandparents; taking the rapid Downtown; shopping at the Westside Market with all its fabulous aromas of smoked meats and baked breads. It is here I found my true love for food, for going to the historic Terminal Tower to pick up my Grandma at Higbees and heading back east to cook split …
