We dive into the chaos of Akron's upcoming events, starting with the all-important leaf collection schedule. Leaves are set to be collected from Ward 3 starting November 3rd, and let’s hope they’re not buried under snow by then, right? We also discuss the city's trick-or-treating plans, which have apparently caused some confusion—because who doesn't love a good scheduling mix-up? Oh, and if you’re looking for some thrilling news, we touch on a recent shooting incident that left a 21-year-old hospitalized, just to add a little spice to our usual banter. Join us as we navigate through parades, candy regulations, and the absurdities of local traffic updates—because who doesn’t love a good laugh while discussing the intricacies of city planning?

• Akron has planned leaf collection schedules starting in November, which we all know will probably be covered in snow by then.
• Trick or treating in Akron is officially on October 25th, despite the earlier confusion about dates.
• The upcoming holiday parade requires all floats to be properly lit, because apparently safety is a thing now.
• Governor DeWine has banned THC-infused gummies, probably because he thinks we're all too stupid to handle candy packaging.
• A water main break in Monroe Falls has led to a boil water advisory, because nothing says fun like boiling your water before drinking it.
• Fairlawn is rolling out a connected vehicle corridor to improve traffic flow, which is great news for anyone who enjoys sitting in traffic.
