An Open Letter to Canton

Dear Canton,

Really? You hired Rebecca Ryan too? Great! Maybe we can have our Come Home to Akron party together with your Come Home to Canton party! It would be super fun. We could eat pizza, have makeovers and stay up all night talking about dreamy we think Madison, Wisconsin, is; it would be the best time ever.

I'm so glad we don't have to worry about economic development, business incentives or other boring stuff like that. Instead we get to focus on alfresco dining! I bet we're going to get a restaurant that gives away free stocking hats with every meal - it'll be great kitschy fun! Maybe it'll franchise and there can be one by the Hall of Fame.

That crazy Joe from RubberBuzz, he stirred up some controversy up here, but he doesn't know what he's talking about. He's just a 24 year old with a college degree who was raised in the area, left and then came back because he was offered a job here and seems to be the member of the target audience we're after. What would he know about making a city attractive to young professionals? Rebecca Ryan has a study; how can you argue with that?

Love,
Akron
