If you've been around Medina Square lately, you might have noticed something special in the air, and it's not just leftover Christmas magic. This January, Medina is once again stepping into the spotlight as filming gets underway for A Taste of Christmas right here in our charming downtown.

Main Street Medina recently reached out to local businesses asking if we'd be willing to leave our holiday window displays and Christmas décor up a little longer, through January 15, to help set the scene for the film.

It was the day I received an email notice from the Medina County Park District about proposed rule changes to Chippewa Lake, the heart of my hometown and a place that holds deep significance for my family and me.
