5) My plan of action: Cheesy 80s songs! Here's our repeating lineup of weekly features that run each Tuesday on Melrose Patch:

• Police Log: I usually get the log on Mondays from the Melrose Police Department and bring you a recap on Tuesdays.

• Poll Results: Every Wednesday we run a poll about a timely issue on Melrose Patch, and the following Tuesday, we'll bring you the results and invite you to continue the conversation.
