At Monday's meeting, Ward 5 Councilwoman Diana Colavecchio introduced iegislation that would have detailed some of the changes planned for Portage Crossing; however, council members were unable to discuss the ordinance publicly per the request of Mayor Don Robart's administration. The move to table discussion till Dec. 3 came Monday evening as negotiations between the city and developer Stark Enterprises are still ongoing, said Colavecchio. "...Just when you believe the plan is set in stone, another change emerges and that triggers other actions," said Cuyahoga Falls …

There was a midnight rush at Best Buy, but longer hours have stretched out crowds a bit.
The weather outside was not frightful, and for the most part neither was the shopping early Friday. A tour of Fairlawn, Cuyahoga Falls and Stow between 7 and 9 a.m. Friday morning found malls and shopping area busy but not overwhelmed by a crushing sea of humanity and cars. Sherry McCrossin of Cuyahoga Falls, on her second tour of duty Friday morning, said the midnight crowd at Best Buy, 445 Howe Ave., was "crazy." Later in the morning, about 8:30, the traffic was light and the parking lot about half full. By 8 a.m. Friday, the tent city that had sprouted outside the Best Buy was gone. The Target and Kohl's stores on Kent Road in Stow were steady but sane at about 8 Friday morning. Summit Mall in Fairlawn was much the same at 7:30: Busy …

No one was injured during the incident.
The Stow Fire Department responded to a small electrical fire at the Wal-Mart on Hudson Drive at 6:46 a.m. today. The store is open 24 hours a day, but no one was injured, said Fire Captain Steve Groves. "A leaky roof caused their uninterruptible power supply to arc and a very small fire broke," said Groves. "It was extinguished with a portable fire extinguisher." There is "minimal damage" to the store, but Groves said it could be costly because the fire damaged the power supply for most of the computers and cash registers in the store. Wal-Mart was closed after the fire, but reopened around noon today, a store employee said.

The retail chain will close its doors for good in March.
After 11 years in the Stow-Falls Center Plaza, Sears Hardware and Appliance will close in March. Located at 835 Graham Rd., the store began a liquidation sale Jan. 15. It will continue until March 20, the tentative date when the store will close, said Kim Freely, Sears Holding Corp.'s communications director. The store is closing because the corporation is not renewing its lease for the property. Sears will turn the store over on March 31, at which point all items not yet sold will be turned over to a liquidator, she said. The 33 store associates employed at that location were notified of the closing at the beginning of the month. Although those associates will be apprised of openings at other locations, they would be required to apply for…
