Chocolate Passion 

Terry and Zulay Quinn own Conroe's Chocolate Passion chocolate shop. 

They advise to plan ahead when planning a sweet treat for your sweetheart. 

Zulay, a native of Venezuela, makes handmade chocolates out of Venezuelan Criollo Cacao. They also have a variety of coffees, desserts, smoothies, soups, sandwiches and salads on their lunch menu. 

On of their specialties for Valentine's Day is chocolate-covered strawberries but Terry asked that customers place their order at least two days in advance.

Market Street concerts 

Couples looking for a lovely way to celebrate Valentine's Day weekend with their sweetheart can attend two concerts in Market Street's Central Park. While there for the music, snap pics at a nearby Valentine's Day photo opp in the park Feb. 11-14.

The Feb. 11 features Divisi Strings in a candelight concert in Market Street's Central Park. The Valentine's Day concert includes jazz from Fahrenheit Duo. Both are from 6 to 8 p.m.

Couples are invited to make a reservation for two at one of Market Street's restaurants bordering Central Park or bring a blanket or lawn chair to and enjoy the concerts.

Swoon over a swan ride

Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu
