With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, many people are wanting to pick a location to take their significant other on a date. Instead of a standard restaurant, I picked out Bellevue Park.

Followers of the Jewish religion also have many traditions celebrated during Hanukkah.

We’ve all heard about them, but why is this anti-vaccination movement such a big deal?
