My good buddy Kevin is moving to Colorado, and i'm riding shotgun on
the ride west.
Our first stop is Akron, where we're taking in a AA baseball game and
sampling the city's skyline and cuisine.
Akron surprised me with it's size - there's at least a dozen tall
buildings. The city seems very livable, especially if you sell rubber
well. (Akron is home to Goodyear Tire and Firestone.) There is little sign of
economic deterioration here, perhaps due to Akron's new favorite son,
LeBron James.
As for the game, the downtown ballpark has nice views, and all seats
are great. Plus, in the 4thinning, the bleacher seats came with a free
baseball, as the Akron pitcher was rocked hard.
The food (bratwurst) and beer (Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy) were the
perfect complement to our day in the sun.
Also while at the game, I made a new friend, Orbit.
Next up: Indianapolis, via Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (and Air Force museum.)
