Downtown Akron to Wreak of Coffee

Ever Wonder How Athletes Get Paid So Much?

Bookie.com has once again donned its financial detective hat to unveil the annual sticker shock of attending an NBA game with the whole family.

They've scrutinized everything, from the wallet-slimming ticket prices to parking and even the cost of two sodas, two beers, and four hot dogs.

Brace yourselves—on average, a family will shell out a not-so-modest $304.64 to watch some hoops live this season. The wallet-wincing award goes to the New York Knicks, where the damage amounts to a jaw-dropping $745.18. But fear not, frugal fans, for the Charlotte Hornets emerge as the unsung heroes of budget ballin', offering a steal at $158.72 for a family of four.

And guess what? Their arena is the NBA's Shangri-La for beer bargains, with a pint-sized brew costing a mere $5.78, making the Cavaliers' $11.75 average look like a grand slam in the price department. As for the league's most wallet-wilting beer experience, Boston Celtics fans might need a sip of something more substantial after forking over a staggering $19.87.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are among the more affordable teams to watch play in person.

The study found a family of four can expect to pay $217.05 to take in a game with tickets, parking, beer, pop and hotdogs factored in.

Cheers to budget-friendly ball games!.

Akron Zoo Welcome Four Red Wolves

Guess who just moved into Akron Zoo's hottest neighborhood? None other than the red wolf family! Meet the cool parents, Diego and Brave, and their adorable pups, Sentinel (the dashing young lad) and Sabine (the chic little miss).

The zoo's buzzing with excitement about the new residents, who've already taken residence in the red wolf habitat. The zookeepers have even rolled out the red carpet, or rather, window coverings, to give the family some privacy as they settle into their plush new digs.

It's like the wolf version of MTV Cribs, with a touch of class. The zoo had temporarily closed the red wolf habitat for a little summer makeover, expanding the pup paradise for future wolf generations. Move over, Kardashians; the red wolf family is the new reality show on the block!

Free Ticket to New Adam Sandler Movie

Netflix is offering free screenings on selected area screens for their new animated film “Leo,” starring Adam Sandler.

Screenings will be held the weekend of Nov. 11-12 at Cinemark Tinseltown in North Canton and Cinemark Valley View. Tickets can be downloaded at LeoSneakPeek.com.

From the press release, it seems that Sandler is up to Sandler-like hijinks, voicing a 74-year-old lizard who is a class pet and has been, for decades, witnessing more runny noses than he can remember. He learns he has a year left to live and plots to escape.

Smells Like Snow Coffee

It's that time of the year! The leaves are getting ready to fall, the air is crisp, and the coffee is piping hot (and there's plenty of it)!

Join us in picturesque Stars Hol—er, I mean Cascade Plaza in downtown Akron for an afternoon of small-town fun with the town troubadour, the cranky (but soft-hearted) diner owner, fall-themed boutiques, food, and of course, coffee coffee coffee.

We will be featuring some of the area's best coffee artists, food trucks, Gilmore Girls-inspired activities, music and much more. We're looking forward to making this year's festival bigger and better than ever!
