Shopping small has an incredible impact on our communities in Northeast Ohio by keeping dollars in our local economy.

Destination Cleveland's Emily Lauer joins 3News' digital anchor and legal analyst Stephanie Haney to break down the benefits of Small Business Saturday and why we should spend money locally year-round.

3News contributor Laura DeMarco, a 20-year veteran covering Cleveland's retail scene, offers her recommendations for where to get the most bang for your buck, and 3News reporter Jasmine Monroe shares why Avalon Exchange is her favorite place to shop on the west side, in this week's installment of Need to Know in NEO.

When times are tough, and maybe especially then, it's still important to pay it forward. But how can we possibly even think about doing that when the world is a raging dumpster fire? Cleveland native and Random Acts of Kindness Everywhere (RAKE) founder Ricky Smith knows a little something about that. He's made doing kindness his personal business, and he got started when he was jobless and living in his car. That's when he used the last money he had in his wallet to buy pizza for strangers. The next day, he landed a writing job with the Cartoon Network. Ricky talks with Stephanie Haney now about how to get creative when doing good things seem impossible, the benefits of doing kindness for all of us, and why people shouldn't be quiet about it. Plus, 3News' Austin Love shares why he loves The Rowley Inn so much in Need to Know in NEO, and Stephanie explains why the Twitter account for Terminal Tower in Downtown Cleveland is such A Good Follow (and why she'll never call it 'Cleveland's version of the Empire State Building' again).

It's an art to know how to talk politics with people we disagree with, and also when to do it. Psychologist and professor Dr. Tania Israel (The Today Show, NPR's 'All Things Considered') is here to help. In the first episode of '3 Things to Know with Stephanie Haney' from WKYC studios, Dr. Israel, the author of 'Beyond Your Bubble,' shares how to reach across the political divide, and when to walk away. Plus, 3News' Tiffany Tarpley joins Stephanie to share the 'Need To Know' hidden gem she found on the east side of Cleveland. To close things out, Stephanie leaves you with 'A Good Follow,' Ian Meadows (@urbanetics_), with his stunning photos of Downtown Cleveland and his love for the "Renaissance" of our fair city.
