Akron, Ohio – September 17, 2026 -- Spins Bowl Akron has been named the 2026 Akron Community's Choice Awards winner in the Bowling Center category, an honor decided entirely by public nomination and voting.

Local voters picked Spins Bowl Akron as their favorite bowling and entertainment spot

The Akron Community's Choice Awards recognize businesses that stand out in the region, with winners selected through community nominations rather than judged criteria. For Spins Bowl, part of Diamond Hospitality Group (DHG), the win comes directly from the guests who visit the center.

"We are incredibly proud of the Spins Bowl Akron team and grateful to everyone in the community who voted for us," said Bill Diamond, CEO of Diamond Hospitality Group. "Our team works hard to create a place where families, friends, league bowlers and groups can come together, have fun and feel welcome."

Highland, Calif. – September 17, 2026 -- A Rancho Cucamonga resident turned a $5 progressive wager into a $1,977,758 payout after hitting a five-card royal flush in diamonds while playing Ultimate Texas Hold'Em at Yaamava' Resort & Casino at San Manuel.

The diamond royal flush is the top qualifying hand in the game's progressive jackpot structure, and the win occurred during the casino's 40th anniversary celebration.

The casino has awarded nearly $4.5 million in major table game jackpots this year

The Ultimate Texas Hold'Em win adds to a string of large payouts at Yaamava' in 2026. In August, two Club Serrano members split a $1.24 million progressive baccarat jackpot, and in March a Los Angeles resident won $1.2 million from a $100 bet.

Bristol – September 17, 2026 -- As shorter days, changing weather and busy fall weekends set in, glass cleaner brand Sprayway has teamed up with NASCAR driver Jeb Burton to share five practical tips for keeping vehicles clean and windshields clear.

Burton races the No. 27 Sprayway Chevrolet at Bristol Motor Speedway on September 18

Burton will compete in the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway, where rubber, oil and debris buildup on the track make visibility critical. He applies the same cleaning habits from race day to his personal vehicle.

"Visibility is everything when you're behind the wheel," Burton said. "At the track, things happen fast, so we make sure the windshield, mirrors and helmet visor are clean before the race. I use Sprayway because it leaves a streak-free shine, and that same routine works just as well in my everyday vehicle."

Woodbury, Minn. – September 17, 2026 -- Homebuyers in Woodbury, Minnesota, risk losing their earnest money deposit and key legal protections if they miss contingency deadlines built into a standard purchase agreement, according to a HelloNation article examining local real estate transactions.

Inspection windows close in five to ten days

Buyers typically have five to ten days from an accepted offer to complete a professional home inspection in the current Woodbury market. If problems surface, buyers can request repairs, negotiate a lower price, or cancel the deal. Once that deadline passes without a formal response, the article notes, this protection is generally lost.

Howard, Ohio – September 17, 2026 -- A new HelloNation article examines how the design build approach to custom home construction differs from traditional methods, offering homeowners in Knox County, Ohio, a way to simplify planning, manage budgets, and reduce delays during a build.

One team handles design and construction from start to finish

The article explains that custom home projects often become complicated when design and construction are handled through separate contracts. A design build team instead manages everything from the first sketch to the final build, allowing homeowners to make decisions with full knowledge of both design intent and construction realities.
