The low budget 80's zombie flick The Dead Next Door was filmed in Akron...okay, not as important as zippers...

I miss the Cleveland metroparks areas. Especially the area between Brecksville and Penisula. Not mountains but still pretty cool......

I have had bad experiences everytime I have traveled west. I did enjoy In and Out Burger. Although, It does not compare to Hamburger Station. Based in Akron.............

The only good thing about zippers is the sound they make when they are slowly being pulled down.

I miss a few things in that area...family, the parks as you mentioned, Blossom Music Center...having been born & raised in Hudson, (between Akron & Cleveland), DON'T miss those winters one bit.

The inventors hall of fame is in Akron. Blossom Music Center is a place I have seen so many shows. Great place to see a show......
