Cascade Park memories and historic Elyria bridges
A reflective look at Cascade Park circa 1855 shows J C Potter, Elyria’s second photographer, and notes the pine forest, the evolution of Lake Avenue bridges from 1838 to 1894, and a vivid reminiscence from Patrick O'Brien. The piece traces East Bridge Street bridges, from 1819 wooden to the stone 1886 span, and recalls local memories of the falls and river life.

Conflicting Christmas Gifts and In Law Hair Demand
A reader questions her husband Earl's habit of giving his ex wife and their children money for gifts to her at Christmas. Abby suggests the practice may stem from guilt or habit and advises acceptance if the couple is content. Another caller laments his mother-in-law trimming their daughter's bangs without consent, and Abby advises setting boundaries to prevent future edits. A thanking letter from Lakeland, Florida, describes father and daughter reading Abby together as a cherished memory during illness.
