A short note to finish up a long week. The With A Shout team is getting ready to head out on a holiday vacation week next week, and before we hit the Repost Shuffle button, we've got a few notes for you. Today, we are talking about your most prized possessions and a sweet story about a small town banding together to save an important part of the community. First up, don't forget to focus.

Possessions
Axios asked readers to tell them what prized possessions they had and a few stories to go along with them. A final four decisions that opened a lifetime memory, a mantle clock that sounds like family, and our favorite from the story is a piece of asphalt. Reader Luann C. keeps a small piece of asphalt on her desk to remind her where she came from. She worked her way through college and law school. Working at an asphalt-laying company. These days, her desk is a bench, and she is a judge in Perry County, Ohio.
Favorites
What are some of the family heirlooms and collectibles you think about when thinking about your own prized possessions? Sometimes, people think about what they would return to a burning house for. Photographs, books, jewelry, and letters usually make that list. What would it be if you had to knock it down to one item? Mine's easy.

Nice News linked us up with a heartwarming story about a small town in Michigan banding together to save a local radio station. NBC has the story and the video; seeing an actual radio station, with actual radio station equipment, mics, albums, and soundboards, brings back memories.
