🪙 Arizona Says Goodbye to the Penny… Kind Of Arizona is officially moving into a new era. Governor Katie Hobbs has signed a new law allowing businesses to round cash transactions to the nearest 5 cents as pennies begin disappearing from circulation. So what does that mean for you? 👉 If you pay with cash: Totals ending in 1¢, 2¢, 6¢, or 7¢ → rounded down Totals ending in 3¢, 4¢, 8¢, or 9¢ → rounded up Totals ending in 0¢ or 5¢ → stay the same � https://www.azfamily.com 👉 If you pay with a card or digitally: Nothing changes. You still pay the exact amount. � Arizona Daily Star 👉 Pennies aren’t illegal: They’re still valid, but businesses may not always use them moving forward. � Arizona Daily Star This change comes as the federal government phases out penny production due to cost, with each penny costing more to make than it’s worth. � https://www.azfamily.com Why it matters here in Arizona: For most people, the difference will only be a penny or two per purchase. But over time, some are asking… 💬 Will it balance out, or will cash users feel the impact more? One thing is clear: Arizona is one of the first states stepping into a “post-penny” system, and how it plays out could shape what other states do next. What do you think, Prescott? Is this a smart move… or just another way people lose a little more at the register? 👇 Drop your thoughts below. #PrescottNews #ThePrescottTimes #ArizonaNews #LocalNews #PrescottAZ #YavapaiCounty #CommunityVoice

Stroke Survivor Reports Severe Neglect and Deception at Torrance Care Facility TORRANCE, CA – Todd Graham, a 56-year-old stroke survivor, is reporting severe medical neglect and a lack of transparency at Bay Crest Care Center. Despite being at the facility for nearly 5 months, Graham reports his recovery has been largely abandoned. Most alarmingly, Graham received a letter from his insurance company claiming his condition was "stable" and he no longer required skilled nursing because he had not reached improvement goals. Graham asserts this is factually incorrect, as the facility only provided him with 1 month of physical therapy during his entire stay. His family further reports the facility lied about his member insurance number, providing incorrect information that prevented them from checking care availability elsewhere. Furthermore, Graham reports that Bay Crest Care Center is severely short-staffed, leading to dangerous care gaps. As a patient managing both diabetes and high blood pressure, his life-sustaining medications are consistently delayed, and he is frequently served "disgusting" meals that directly violate his doctor’s orders, including low-protein options. To ensure his survival, his family has been forced to personally pay for appropriate diabetic meals and private therapy. A family request for a welfare check by the Torrance Police Department resulted in no formal report, as officers cited a lack of authority over licensed care providers. This has left the family in significant financial and emotional distress. Graham is now calling for increased accountability and better standards of care. Todd is looking forward to the day he can finally leave this facility behind, expressing immense happiness at the prospect of moving to a safe and supportive environment. Todd and his supporters are urging the community to speak out against sub-standard care in local nursing facilities#TorrenceCA #ElderCare #PatientRights #HealthFraud #LocalNews #TorrancePD

Disturbing footage is circulating online showing the moment shots were reportedly fired near the grand opening of Marathon Burger in Long Beach. The event was meant to be a celebration — drawing crowds, supporters, and community members. Instead, chaos unfolded as people were seen reacting and running after the sound of gunfire rang out nearby. At this time, details remain limited. Authorities have not released full information regarding injuries, suspects, or what led up to the incident. What’s clear is that what should have been a positive community moment was suddenly disrupted. Grand openings are about growth, business, and unity — not fear. As investigations continue, many are hoping for clarity and accountability, along with safety for everyone involved. More updates are expected as officials provide additional information. #LongBeach #MarathonBurger #BreakingNews #CommunitySafety #CaliforniaNews #GrandOpening #ViralVideo #StaySafe #DevelopingStory #LocalNews

📍Pittsburgh, Pa - #HiddenGems The Pittsburgh Pretzels 🥨 Shop is more than just a ordinary pretzel 🥨 shop, did you know that they sell more than just pretzels! 🥨 I know right, me neither! 🤦🏾‍♂️ When I first walked inside this locally famous spot, immediately I was surprised by the display! I have heard so much about this place and thier pretzels 🥨 but no one mentioned to me that they sell other pastries as well! 🧁 Another thing that people didn’t mention to me, (at the time of my visit), is that they only accept cash! So I was torn! 🥺 I came there to try the pretzels 🥨 that I heard so much about, but the danishes and other things looked so good I wanted to try them too! I arrived within minutes of them closing, so I had to hurry up and find a atm or somewhere where I could find cash quickly! With the clock ⏰ ticking, I remembered that I had a few bucks in my car parked across the busy street, and a little bit of change to be able to purchase something before they closed! So I made it back in time and I got what I came there for, the pretzels! 🥨 Trying the first one I could understand why people brag about them, even though it’s was closing time, the pretzels 🥨 were still very fresh! The only problem that I had is one of the pretzels 🥨 taste like an everything pretzel 🥨 which means it was probably too close to some everything bagels 🥯 Either, I would definitely try them again, but now I know & now you know, go there early & bring some cash! 💵 Thanks for reading my article! Please don’t forget to follow me, like, & share this with your friends and family! Until next time! ✍🏾 #OutsideAJTheTraveler ✈️ #Food #Foodie #LocalBusiness #LocalNews
