Born In The Rock 3/29/1956: Patty Donahue, singer for The Waitresses. She practically invented the sassy 80s girl, with their debut single “I Know What Boys Like”, and she will live on forever for the sweetly bitter holiday hit “Christmas Wrapping”. Gone far too soon. #Akron #GreatWomenOfRock
It would be really wonderful to see life back in that section of downtown Akron. It put Akron on the map when it was still operating. Can't wait to see that again. #akron #ohio #quakerSquare
People go 35+ mph in North Hill all the time. They love modifying their cars to make loud noises and driving them at 2am.
Once, I flicked off a driver going 40+ in a 25. He stopped and went 40+ in REVERSE to threaten me.
People love traffic violence in North Hill. #Akron government doesn't care.
A heavy metal highway guardrail bent 5 feet into a Tesla SUV.
Playground. Suddieth Park
Plastic road closure barriers.
Proposed closure and crash site northwest of Suddieth Park.
Scoop: A driver did a hit and run in North Hill, busting up a Tesla and bending the hell out of a guardrail.
This the exact spot I asked for traffic safety months ago. #Akron ignored me. Cheap plastic stands would make it safer for kids to go to the park here and put less headlights in my yard.
NEO Rail: Fantasy map on real rail route. Similar route as before. Route runs North-South via Cleveland, Cleveland Suburbs, Akron, Akron-Canton Airport, Canton. Big gap between Suburbs and Akron.
Dense table with lots of info. Full alt text follows. NEORail: The Regional Rail of the Future Station City County City Population County Population Station exists? Notes Tower City (union terminal) Cleveland Cuyahoga 365,379 1,240,594 Yes Former Union Terminal; the central point for all Cleveland transit and rail. Puts you in downtown Cleveland. Has been studied as of 2025, seems like CSX and real estate owners are the big holdouts. https://neo-trans.blog/2025/01/19/csx-makes-cvsr-downtown-extension-infeasible/ Rockside Cleveland Suburbs (Independence and other towns) Cuyahoga 40,000 0 Yes I think the economics make sense to have a stop around here for the Cleveland suburbs. Population seems to peak around this area, but I didn't look hard. The existing Cleveland RTA rail doesn't really run this far south. It looks like the current lines enter a freight corridor and require a slow down to 25mph around this spot anyway. So stopping to move passengers is less of a problem. Rockside station is the existing CV Scenic Railrod terminus. Akron North Side Akron Summit 189,664 538,370 Yes The rail line this should run on skips most of Akron and picks up at the Northside station. Station looks reasonably downtown/central. There are bus lines that 'sorta' go from the Akron bus terminal to the Northside station (90 line) but nothing that's perfect from what I can tell. The Northside station, like the majority of this route, runs parallel to the Towpath bike and hike trail. Passengers could feasibly bike or walk here from downtown proper. Akron-Canton Airport Suburbs (Green and other towns) Stark 20,000 0 No Guesstimate of around 20,000 people in the vicinity of the airport. Would need to be a new station but the rail line is very close to the airport. Would probably need a shuttle for people and luggage. Canton Lincoln Highway Canton Stark 69,211 374,091 Not operating CV Scenic Railroad operated a route to here from 2003-2013.
Existing rail stops. 8 stations shown. https://www.cvsr.org/plan-your-visit/stations-maps
This is what #rail #transit could be between #Cleveland, #Akron, and #Canton.
- 680,000 possible riders served
- 2,150,000 possible regional riders
- Commuter access between major cities and airport
- 4 existing bus routes prove demand
- 1 route, 2 services: express (5 stop) and scenic (~11 stop)

Red wolf at Akron Zoo
I've spent too much time on Threads recently. It's not the pitted hellscape that inhabits Twitter's desiccated carapace, but between the idiotic and the reaction farming... I think I'm going to post up here for a bit.

Roof replacement isn’t just maintenance; it can directly impact how fast your home sells and how buyers see it.
From curb appeal to buyer confidence, it plays a bigger role than most people expect.
If you’re planning to sell, this is worth a read: tinyurl.com/2k4yj2bx

As an amateur engaged resident, the lingo in #Akron City Council meetings are disappointing and alienating.
Horseshoe: the semicircle the reps sit in.
"2nd or 3rd floor". Apparent reference to Mayor vs. Council offices.

Last night, #Akron City Council narrowly passed a resolution to someday increase the lookback period on police body cameras. It is currently 30 seconds, reformers want 60.
