RubberBuzz || Akron Unleashed: Missing Rebecca Ryan

Missing Rebecca Ryan

I haven't posted about our "friend" Rebecca Ryan in a long time. In fact, I had almost forgotten about her. Then George over at BrewedFreshDaily gave me a call. He's doing an interview with her and he wanted to know if I had some questions. Here's a sampling of my love.

So one of Akron's fine dining restaurants in downtown is closing down, do think their business would have been saved if they would have had some tables outside? Do you think that would have gotten the young professionals out in droves?

Are all your recommendations based on the same one study that you published? Do you really talk to people in the community? Not the people the chamber sets you up with, but the real people who actually live in the city.

So have you ever really made a city cool?

While I was on the phone with George, he told me about an article RubberBuzz was quoted in. Here's the quote:

Skepticism also has emerged in the snarky blogosphere. A 24-year-old Akronite who blogs at rubberbuzz.com sardonically observed, "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 al fresco dining!"

Oh, Rebecca, I've missed you so much! And I love being called sardonic! It makes my heart go pitter patter! And I love useing exclamation points!
