You can still do that at Gourmet Popper Cafe which is located in downtown Cuyahoga Falls on Front St. across from the Downtown Amphitheater and Pavilion. Gourmet Popper has some fantastic popcorn that comes in several mouthwatering flavors: butter, caramel, caramel with peanut, cheddar and Chicago Mix, which is cheddar and caramel together. You can even request some vegan popcorn if you'd like. (Just be sure contact the owner first so she can make it.)

Thank you to all the contributors who participated in NewsBreak’s Local Love content contest. Whether you shared the love with yourself, friends, family or a partner, we hope you enjoyed your Valentine’s Day. We loved learning about your local loves from special beaches to romantic restaurants and we are excited to announce the winners of our content contest.

Jeremy Lowe, owner of Nearly Famous Burgers and Hot Dogs with Jennifer Hurley, founder of Arlington Foodies at a recent foodie "swarm."Courtesy of Jeremy Lowe. A few weeks ago, Jeremy Lowe immortalized a fan of his Nearly Famous Burgers and Hot Dogs restaurant by putting her on the menu. That's not exactly precise - you can't actually order Jennifer Hurley from the menu, although some of us might wish we could. But the Savage Bacon Dog on the menu bears her maiden name. It's only fitting that a menu item is named in her honor and in honor of the Facebook group she founded, Arlington Foodies.

St Lucie County is miles of unspoiled beaches, delicious fresh seafood, craft wineries and breweries, and so so much more. There is a reason St Lucie is called the jewel of the Treasure Coast and I hope you too will check out this beautiful county and it's many treasures!

It's February 14th, and the love is in the air! Well, I don't know about you, but snow is in the air where I live... But otherwise, on Valentine's Day, many couples celebrate their relationships, full of love and happiness. And single people, hopefully, raise a glass for being happily single.

Are you looking for a last-minute booking for your Valentine's? If you want to impress your partner, then look no further than the top ten most romantic restaurants in San Antonio as ranked by TripAdvisor.

Did you know there is a shipwreck 100 feet off the coast of the House of Refuge in Stuart Florida? It is the wreck of Georges Valentine and is now an underwater archeological preserve. The House of Refuge is a museum, beach, and just a beautiful place to go with someone you love.

Valentine's Day is right around the corner. And like last year and the year before that (and the year before that and so on), I am single and not quite ready to mingle. Due to my single status, I often go to restaurants alone. I used to feel awkward as heck eating by myself at a table intended for multiple people. I felt like I might as well have been wearing a sign that screamed, Look at this lonely loser stuffing her face ALONE!

Simon and Bubbles are so cute together. They're in love! Like and follow for more! :)

When Vero Beach was “Zero Beach” we locals and transplants didn’t settle for that small-town-ain’t-nuthin’-to-do scene. We initiated our own prospects - boy did we. Lennie’s Lounge and Package Store was waaaaay out west of town. Nearly unfathomable to “drive that far?” But we went for the ropy atmosphere, the gossip, the underhanded drawcard: Bring your probation slip or white chip from an A.A. meeting; get a free drink. Wink, wink.

Every Valentine's day I always think about the most serious love/crush that I had when I was in high school in Ohio. I'm almost embarrassed to talk about it since I never told anyone and I was barely able to face the girl who literally lived next to me.

L.A. Burdick is a handmade chocolate shop that is located in River North. We recently heard that they make a chocolate mouse that takes 3 days to make and the process has 12 steps. We had to stop in and try some sweet treats as we get ready for Valentine's Day this week!

13th Floor Denver hosts a Valentine's weekend haunted house call "Love Bites". Come this weekend and experience a haunt outside of the Halloween season. This is a fun idea for a date night idea for Valentine's Day weekend. Be sure to follow us for more events, experiences and reviews! Socials: @TPGAdventures

If you are still looking for something to do for Valentine's Day that is not going to break the bank and is not directly related to a restaurant, don't worry, you are not alone. However, taking a quick survey of the options, the answer may lie in nearby Clermont, at one of our favorite spots to hang out.

It's all about the love this month and we're keeping it local with the many reasons we love Knott's Berry Farm, like Boyesenberries, fried chicken and Ghost Town to name a few. Come along with our family as we take you to one of our favorite places. Let's give some local love to Knott's.

Do you have an ex that made your life Hell in the past? Was there a former manager who was horrible to you? We all know people who mistreated us in the past and negatively affected our mental health at some point. If you’re not a spiteful individual, you can close this page and keep being the awesome not-caring-about-buttholes queen — or king — that you are. But in the event you’re a petty person, you may want to learn about this option.

In this video, JamesandKarla get an insider's tour of what is considered by Travel + Leisure to be one of the best hotel in the world, The Betsy Hotel located on Ocean Drive in Miami Beach, The Betsy was built in 1942 by L. Murray Dixon and is the lone surviving example of Florida Georgian architecture on Ocean Drive in South Beach. We tour all the amenities including a gorgeous courtyard pool, rooftop pool, library, event space and art gallery.

In this video, JamesandKarla check out the outdoor dining scene at one of the best Italian restaurants in Miami Beach, Il Pastaiolo located at the Ocean Reef Suites on Collins Avenue in Miami Beach. We watch the table side presentation of their famous homemade pasta dish, Il Pastaiolo Cacio E Pepe, which consists of homemade bucatini with Cacio Romano cheese, cracked black pepper and finished in a form of Parmesan cheese wheel.

I don’t know about you, but this upcoming holiday, if that’s what it is officially called, can put a lot of stress on people. There are so many expectations and big time commercialization nowadays. I remember when it was just small greeting heart shaped cards and maybe those candy hearts with messages imprinted on them was the thing to do. This is why I put together a list of places to shop or things to do locally in Bradenton and Sarasota that are special and at the same time supporting the community. This is a great way to show your love for this year's Valentine’s Day.
