See what was brewing with Jen Scordo today. Every day on The Best Show Ever? Jen Scordo shares a few recent weird and interesting news stories. Today that includes a few Cleveland Browns players getting robbed and more people attending Cincinnati Reds post-game concert than their opening day… Here are her stories from today.

Police are investigating a possible crime spree against the Cleveland Browns.  Running back Demetric Felton had his car stolen on Sunday, cornerback Greg Newsome was carjacked at gunpoint recently and a third player reportedly had a car and some jewelry stolen. Police are thinking that someone is targeting the players on the team and they’re investigating.  Back in January, Deshaun Watson’s truck was one of multiple cars stolen from a luxury car dealership, police are not sure if that is related.

Ok, it’s normal for the record to be broken for the most people attending a baseball game, but this one is different… The record was broken Friday night, but it was for the post-game concert, not the actual baseball game.  44,073 people were on hand for a post-game concert by the Zac Brown Band – they were there to raise money for ALS research – John Driskell Hopkins, a guitarist for ZBB, has ALS… The total number of people attending the concert beat the record for opening day this year for the Reds… by 10.

Jersey Shore Town Makes List Of Top 10 Cheapest Places To Buy A Beach House

Ever wondered where the cheapest places to buy a beach house in the country were? Well, New Jersey is home to one of them!

You may have always kept owning a beach house as one of your highest aspirations. It's the ultimate dream to live close to the ocean. For one, you can spend your entire summer at the beach without having to shell out the extra money on gas. You can also be first to plant your umbrella on the beach and claim that coveted spot every morning if you'd like, due to your close proximity. Owning a property in a beach town seems like a dream.

A big fat dream when they're going for the expensive prices they usually go for. Whether you want a second property that's closer to the shore, or to pack up and move your whole life there, you may get deflated by the housing prices. A beach house equals big old dollar signs, right? Well, according to this list made by realtor.com, that's not always the case. Some towns have some really affordable properties you can check out. And we just so happen to have one of the more affordable towns in the US right under our noses!

Here are some of the cheapest places to buy a beach house in the country:

6. Atlantic City, NJ

Who woulda thunk it? Atlantic City is the 6th cheapest in the country. The reason why? Most of the houses available in AC are pretty small. Small house? Cheaper price. With a city that has so much to offer, it's almost too tempting to move there now. The median price within 1 mile of a beach is about $185,000.

The median price within 1 mile of a beach is around $289,948. This town is on the shore of the Gulf of Mexico. The water is blue and beautiful. Prices seem to be lower due to damage sustained from Hurricane Harvey back in 2017, but it's still a dang great place for pretty good prices.

Grand Isle is small but mighty. The median price you'd be looking at within 1 mile of a beach is $309,500. The tiny barrier island has tons to do, and its natural landscape is just SO pretty.

Connecticut has beaches? Yes indeed, my friend. And they're really nice. New London's prices are actually stunning in comparison to the towns surrounding it. The median price within 1 mile of a beach is $257,000. In nearby towns, you'd be paying about three times as much.

2. Newport News, VA

Newport News is about 25 miles from Jamestown, VA, one of the first English settlements in North America, so its got some history. The median price of a place within 1 mile of a beach would be $200,000. It is worth it for all this town has to offer in terms of beaches and dining.
