Akron's future may be at stake tonight!

Mia and I are trend setters and we didn't even know it. The Greater Akron Chamber is holding its annual meeting tonight and on tap for discussion is how to get and keep young professionals in Akron. Akron is stuck between a rock and a hard-place, or more accurately, between a capital and a lake. Being stuck between Columbus and Cleveland has given Akron residence an easy opportunity to leave and never come back. Now Akron wants to take its reputation as a dead end city and turn it around. And how are they going to do that? A yuppie invasion.

We love Akron, if we didn't we wouldn't make fun of it (You don't see us blogging about Painseville now do you?). But now when people ask why I love Akron, I can say "Because I love being a trend setter," instead of my usual response of "I just like the blimp."
