Memories

Maybe you remember the old Painesville and were looking for a place to put your fond memories. Tell us about something you know about old Painesville that makes you think of your childhood. Maybe a family member stayed at the Parmly Hotel? Maybe you shopped downtown Painesville and you remember a funny story about one of the traffic cops directing traffic. Who knows, but here is the place to write your thoughts. Have fun, keep it clean and yes the delete button still works over here.

Fall Fest

This Saturday at Painesville Veterans park the City will be hosting "Fall Fest". Sounds like it is going to be a good time. Starts at 1 pm and runs through 4 pm. They will have games and events and food as well, small prices from what I hear. Bring the kids and have a good time. See you there.
