With one weekend left for Christmas shopping, here are a few local options
Just like shoppers, business owners are hoping for the best results going into the final weekend of Christmas shopping. "We should have a really busy weekend on Coventry," Big Fun Toy Store owner Steve Presser said. "I really feel good about the mix of stores on this street. In the next four days, (a business owner) could do 15 to 20 percent of your sales." Presser is cautiously optimistic, though. Cleveland Heights could get up to 12 inches of snow this weekend. Still, Presser expects large crowds on through Monday. Thinking of visiting Coventry? Check out Santa and caroling this weekend. "We have a number of independent stores," he said. "We have the full range of offerings — clothes, jewelry, books, records — really, the full gamut." …

Open through Dec. 30, Heights Arts will sell ornaments, cards, jewelry and CDs by local artists
The Heights Arts Holiday Store is back for an 11th year, and executive director Peggy Spaeth believes 2012 marks the best edition yet to hit the organization's Lee Road gallery. "Every year is the best," she said. "There's a lot of things we don't carry year-round. We have more stock, more arts and crafts than we normally do." Though it's considered one of six Heights Arts galleries each year, the organization pushes it as a retail option to promote local shopping for local products. "We want the message to be loud and clear that you should come shop for local art for the holidays," Spaeth said. "It's like blatant commercialism.

90 photos that define Cleveland Heights
Cleveland Heights officially became a city in 1921. Cleveland Heights Patch is observing that 90th anniversary by compiling 90 photos to create an album of the city's past and present. We'll run the feature for 90 days, one photo at a time. Today's photo features bargain hunters at the Walmart in Severance Town Center. Walmart was one of several national chains that offered bargains to shoppers on Thanksgiving instead of waiting until "Black Friday." The deals started at 10 p.m. Thursday. Shoppers were lined up inside the store waiting for electronics bargains that would offered around midnight.
